Isuzu Rodeo Service Brakes, Hydraulic Antilock Safety Report | July 21, 2000
Reported on July 21, 2000
| 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. *AK | |
