1999 Rodeo shifts hard into all gears and fuses keep blowing that controls the directionals, reverse lights, A/C and cruise control. 5 attemps have been made to repair problem and no success. The car is not safe to drive. Isuzu has not responded to 2 letters I have mailed, 1 letter was mailed containing all documentation of failures and that letter was returned to me, also many phone messages have not been returned. I want Isuzu to take responsibility for this problem and repurchase my car.

My brakes have stopped working when I am braking and hit a bump. The brakes are also very soft and have to be pumped to insure that I have adequate braking power. My transmission slips after coming to a stop then starting forward again. Also, the entire vehicle has a vibration problem and is dangerously difficult to control in simple avoidable manuevers at 55 mph and higher.

- Metairie, LA, USA

Brakes: When coming to a stop light, stop sign or going over a bump at a relatively slow speed, there is a delay and brakes do not work. Brake is pushed down to the floor. The truck barely stops in time. Almost hit pedestrians twice due to brake failure! I'm afraid to drive my truck. Dealer tells me there is nothing wrong. Transmission: Car accelerates on its own sometimes. It revs high and has occasionally lunged forward while braking almost causing an accident. At this point, I don't want this truck anymore. There have been problems since I got it and two recalls already. The main reason is because I don't want to kill myself or someone else when brakes fail again!!!!
