The contact owns a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo. While driving 55 mph, the contact depressed the brake pedal and the ABS engaged, and an abnormal noise was heard. After a few seconds, the vehicle eventually stopped and the ABS warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact of a previous unknown recall. The mechanic diagnosed that the ABS integrator module needed to be replaced. The contact called an unknown dealer located over 200 miles away and was informed that they may be unable to provide the parts due to the age of the vehicle and the manufacturer. The manufacturer was called, but the contact was unable to reach anyone. The failure mileage was approximately 154,000.

My son was driving a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo when he had an accident. Since there were no "brake marks" on the road the accident was considered to be his fault. He stated that he turned left from a stop sign and car began to accelerate on its on, applied brakes and car continued to rev up causing him to lose control, hit a ditch, and land car on it's side. No injuries except sore wrist. The car has 138,000 miles

I left a friends house and got on 295 when I heard a loud banging, then a short time later I lost my brakes. Come to find out that I was told the shock broke and because of that it broke my brake line and the support for the suspension was all rusted out. I was told by a friend of mine about a recall involving the suspension and what I had described was the problem. So I call Isuzu and they told me that as of Dec. 2012 that they were no longer fixing any more vehicles with this issue and that there is nothing more they can do. Well since I bought the vehicle used I never received and recall notice. I could have had a very bad accident, considering I had 2 people cut in front of me and I had to use the emergency brake to slow down. This is bs. I cant afford to have this fixed and im pretty sure that this vehicle has too much rust to be fixed. So now I don't have a vehicle and need one.

The contact owns a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo. The contact stated that while trying to decelerate, the rear brakes seized and the vehicle skidded. The contact also stated that the brake warning light constantly illuminated. The contact believed that the failure may have been due to an ABS failure. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic who replaced the ABS module but the failure recurred. While the vehicle was being inspected, the technician also noticed that the frame was rusted and corroded. The vehicle was repaired under recall NHTSA campaign number id 10V436000 (suspension) but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 170,000.
