Isuzu Rodeo Service Brakes, Hydraulic Antilock Safety Report | Jan 08, 2002
Reported on Jan 08, 2002
| THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. THIS WAS FIRST LOOKED INTO AT THE 7500 MILE SERVICE WITH NO PROBLEM FOUND. THE CAR NOW HAS 67000 MILES WITH THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURING. THERE HAS BEEN ONE ACCIDENT CAUSED BY PROBLEM WITH MANY CLOSE CALLS. THE VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL KICK BACK AT THE DRIVER AND THE CAR WILL LOSE ALL BRAKING POWER. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION FOR THE ABS. I'VE DRIVEN MANY CARS WITH ABS, AND THEY ALL STOP WHEN THE ABS IS ENGAGED. THIS RODEO LOSES ALL PRESSURE AND JUST GLIDES FORWARD. SO FAR THEY HAVE REPLACED A SPEED SENSOR AND THE WIRING HARNESS THAT GOES TO THE REAR OF THE CAR. ISUZU SAYS THEY HAVE MADE A NEW HARNESS BECAUSE THE OLD ONE WAS TOO SHORT AND WOULD BREAK EASILY. BUT, THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT. THE SENSOR AND HARNESS WERE REPLACED TWO WEEKS AGO, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. PLEASE HELP US WITH GETTING OUR VEHICLE FIXED PROPERLY BEFORE THERE IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT CAUSED BY IT. *AK | |
