Isuzu Axiom Service Brakes, Hydraulic Antilock Safety Report | Mar 08, 2007
Reported on Mar 08, 2007
| I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM VIRTUALLY SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN NOV 2003. WHEN I BRAKE ON A BUMPY OR WET ROAD, OR WHEN I HAVE TO BRAKE HARD TO STOP IN AN EMERGENCY, THE CAR RATTLES AND MAKE S GRINDING SOUND. IT ALSO TAKE EXTRA LONG TO SLOW THE VEHICLE MUCH LESS STOP. THE LAST TIME I HAD THIS PROBLEM I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND A VAN SEVERAL VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED TO MAKE AN ILLEGAL U-TURN. I TEND TO KEEP A GREATER DISTANCE BETWEEN MY CAR AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME DUE TO THE BRAKE ISSUE. REGARDLESS, THE ROAD I WAS ON HAS A FEW BUMPS. AT THE POINT OF ATTEMPTING TO STOP AND AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME THE BRAKES WENT INTO ANTI-LOCK AND DIDN'T STOP MY CAR BEFORE I HIT THE CAR. I HAVE ALREADY CHANGE THE BRAKE TWO OTHER TIMES AND HAD ROTORS REPLACED ONE. I WILL BE NEEDING NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS WITHIN THE NEXT 5-10K MILES. FOUR SETS OF BRAKES IN LESS THAN 70K MILES SCREAMS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BESIDE THE VEHICLE NOT STOPPING, OR SLOWING SIGNIFICANTLY IN AN EMERGENCY. *JB | |
