I have 2000 Isuzu Rodeo, and when the brakes are applied the vehicle does not stop!! the brakes have been replaced twice every year since we have owned the vehicle. We bought the vehicle new in October 2000. The brakes are constantly being adjusted almost monthly. The mechanic at "expert tire" on mcniel St, wichita falls tx. Have encountered the same problems with other Isuzu Rodeos and have directed us to bring the vehicle to the Isuzu dealership. I can not believe that this major safety issue has not been addressed. The mechanic at expert tire believes that ABS system has a recall but we have never been notified nor is it listed on the Isuzu Rodeo recall web site.

Vehicle accelerated while coasting causing vehicle to fish-tail and spin out. Once vehicle corrected brakes/ABS did not engage (no pulse in brake pedal no squealing tires) resulting in vehicle careening of the road.

While driving 55 mph ABS braking light appeared on the dashboard and remained on until the vehicle was turned off. Consumer applied the brakes and pedal went to floor. Consumer was able to maintain control of vehicle, and drove it to the dealer for inspection. Mechanic determined that ABS module needed to be replaced.

00 Isuzu Rodeo ABS issues I find the ABS kicking in when running over smal bump and rocky surfaces. This is my wifes automobile, and I have been driving it for about a month now, and really believe that these brakes are potentially dangerous.

When applying the brakes at 3 mph, the pedal went to the floor before stopping. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop and the dealer stated there was nothing wrong with the brake system. Please provide any further information and complete the questionnaire.

When driving and applying the brakes they did not stop at a safe distance. On two occasions vehicle went through the intersection, almost causing an accident. This happened to the consumer once and to the consumer's daughter once. The manufacturer and dealer were notified.

2000 Isuzu Rodeo braking problems. The Rodeo's ABS is deployed randomly. Brakes lock up and car will not stop in an appropriate amount of time. There is a metalic grinding sound. When brakes are inspected at dealership, there is no problem. There are no worn parts.

I also own a 2002 Rodeo and my ABS has failed twice now. It has been repaired under warrenty, but it does seem to be a pattern in this model.

- Matthews, NC, USA

I purchased the vehicle used in October of 2002. It has 23000+ miles on it. It currently has 35000+ miles on it and the engine is clicking. The dealership notified me that the engine is no good. Not only did the engine go bad, but we've been putting oil in the engine like mad. I think we've purchased 6 quarts of oil in the 8 month period and there is no leak and Isuzu states this is "normal". also at just over 30000 miles the ABS light came on. The intake gasket had to be replaced 1 month after purchase and that in turn caused one of the valves (egr I think) to need replaced as well.

Isuzu dealer in lancaster pa can't repeat failure. Finds no fault of brake system.

- Lancaster, PA, USA

In stop and go traffic the brakes will sometimes fail without warning. They will make a grinding sound and at the same time the pedal goes to the floor. I have had several close calls and finally I rear ended someone causing damage to my vehicle only. Isuzu has checked this out twice and can't find anything wrong. There are websites I've been in where people describe the same exact thing happening to them with the same make and model. It's obvious there's a problem but nothing is being done about it. What shall we do?

While driving at highway speeds and applying brakes vehicle will drift to right. Consumer has contacted dealer five times already for the same problem, but the problem still occurs.

- Hayward, CA, USA

When driving at any speed and when applying brake pedal to make a gradual stop, and when approaching an intersection or a traffic light, brake pedal traveled to floorboard, causing extended stopping distance/ brake fade away. Consumer noticed shortly thereafter that brakes kicked back in. Consumer has contacted dealer, dealer was unable to determine cause of problem. The vehicle pulls to the right. The A/C malfunctioned. The vehicle vibrates at speed of 35 mph. The cd player failed.

I've been to the dealership three times and no one can figure out what is wrong with the vehicle. Vehicle makes forcefull jerks when applying brakes and upon acceleration.

Whenever the brakes are applied and one travels over a bumpy road (I.e. railroad tracks) the ABS kicks in. One can feel the pulsation in the brake pedal then it feels like tthe pedal drops to the floor. As a result, the stopping distance has suddenly increased. I have had a case where I couldn't stop in time and ended up in the middle of the intersection. As a result, whenever this effect happens I compensate by immediately getting my foot off the brake pedal and quickly reapplying the brake pedal after passing over the bumps. I can reproduce this affect consistently at an intersection near my workplace since the road has some small bumps right before an intersection. This only occurs at speeds between ~10-20 mph. If one goes slow enough over the bumps the ABS will not kick in. So whenever I come to a stop I am always wary of this situation. But I'm concerned when someone else borrows my vehicle.

Vehicle has had this problem since 10/00. ABS kicks in "at will" usually during stop & go traffic conditions and extends stopping distance greatly. Has already caused front end damage. Manufacturer has denied any problems with this vehicle line.

Brakes did not grab right off it felt like someone put a stick in the spokes of a tire and then the brakes grab all of a sudden. This is the fourth time this has happened and the first time since the ABS module, the master cylinder, and the brake fluid completely flushed.
