Isuzu Rodeo Service Brakes, Hydraulic Safety Report | Aug 15, 2003
Reported on Aug 15, 2003
| I RECENTLY WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT I COULD NOT AVOID. 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT I RECEIVED A RECALL IN THE MAIL FOR MY ABS MODULE AND BRAKE SYSTEM. ALTHOUGH MY ABS LIGHT WAS ALREADY ON I ASSUMED THE RECALL WAS WHY. I TOOK IT IN, THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT. I GUESS I WAS WRONG. I DROVE UP AND TOLD THE GENTLEMAN THAT MY ABS LIGHT WAS STILL ON, AND I ASKED WHY HE SAID THAT THAT WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. MY QUESTION IS HOW CAN IT NOT BE PART OF THE RECALL WHEN IT'S PART OF THE MODULE. SO I LEFT IT AND DECIDED TO TAKE IT BACK WHEN I CAN GET THE MONEY TO COVER MY CO-PAY. THE I GET IN THE ACCIDENT, KEEP IN MIND THAT THEY JUST FIXED MY ABS SYSTEM AND BRAKES. IT HAD RAINED AND I TRIED TO STOP TO KEEP FROM HITTING SOMEONE. IT DIDN'T WORK, I'VE HAD VEHICLES WITH ABS BEFORE, SO I KNOW WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO DO, AND THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. I JUST SLID AND I MEAN SLID INTO THIS GUY. IF THE ISUZU PLACE WHERE I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO GET FIXED WOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, I COULD HAVE AVOIDED THIS WHOLE SITUATION. BUT INSTEAD I GOT THIS WHOLE STORY ABOUT HOOKING IT UP TO A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE &THERE COULD HAVE BEEN 30-40 DIFFERENT THINGS WRONG WITH IT, AND THAT WOULD COST ME $180.00. BUT INSTEAD I TOOK IT FOR GRANTED THAT THEY FIXED THE RECALL DEFECT. THAT'S ONLY MY FIRST COMPLAINT, I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY GAS IN THIS VEHICLE. I TOOK IT IN 2-4 TIMES TO GET IT FIXED AND ALL THEY DO IS A VISUAL INSPECTION, AND TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. THERE IS WHEN I USE 1/4 TANK OF GAS GOING 12 MILES. | |
