Isuzu Rodeo Service Brakes, Hydraulic Antilock Safety Report | May 22, 2000
Reported on May 22, 2000
| WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE ABS SYSTEM SEEMS TO ENGAGE PREMATURELY AT ABOUT 35-40 MPH AND IF THE VEHICLE HITS ANY TYPE OF BUMP WHEN IN THE PROCESS OF SLOWING DOWN, ONE CANNOT STOP THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE ABS SYSTEM BRINGS THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT THE ABS SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED TO HELP MAINTAIN STEERING CONTROL DURING BRAKING AND PREVENT SKIDDING AND IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE! MY WIFE HAS ENCOUNTERED THE PROBLEM TWICE AND WILL NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILD ARE NOT ALLOWED TO RIDE IN OR DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF OUR CONCERN FOR THEIR SAFETY. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO RECTIF THIS PROBLEM? *AK | |
