Car will not brake when goes over rail road track or bumps, even at low speed.

This incident has occurred twice. Once under dry conditions and once under wet conditions. The most recent incident is described here. While approaching a stop sign during a storm, I applied the brakes as I crossed a rough patch of pavement. At this time I felt the brake system skip or fail briefly until I was able to reapply pressure to the pedal. I have noted other Rodeo owner complaints about ABS problems on the net and have decided to contact you. I have not notified the dealer yet but plan to on my next service call.

ABS will come on whenever the brakes are depressed when going over a large enough bump to have both rear tires off the ground. It is very unsettling as loss of brake power occurs until all the tires have settled on the road again.

My wife and I went on vacation and was exiting on the the freeway when the brake pedal went to the floor. After a second or two it popped back up and the brakes engaged with a loud metal grinding/hitting sound. In the process of stopping and almost hitting the car in front of us the Rodeo hopped a little bit. Later the brake light on the dash came on and I checked the brake fluid container and the fluid level was at the max line. But I did notice crud in the brake fluid which I have no idea how it would get in the fluid exect from the system. The cap to the brake fluid has not been taken off to my knowledge. This problem has happeded before and we took the Rodeo to the dealer where we bought it from and the mechanic took the Rodeo for a test drive and no problem occured and nothing was checked with the brake system. The mechanic didn't check the brake lines, master cylinder, etc.

If vehicle is driven on a bumpy road brakes will fail.
