Isuzu Rodeo Suspension Safety Report | June 08, 2003
Reported on June 08, 2003
| THE TIRES LOSE CONTACT WITH THE ROAD WHEN BRAKING UNDER ROUGH ROAD CONDITIONS, WHICH MAKES STOPPING VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE. THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS ARE INADEQUATE, THEY FAIL TO KEEP THE TIRES ON THE ROAD WHILE ENCOUNTERING BUMPS DURING BRAKING. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE NEW, BUT RECENT EXPERIENCE HAS MADE IT CLEAR TO ME JUST HOW DANGEROUS THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY IS. I WOULD LIKE THE PROBLEM TO BE ADDRESSED BY ISUZU - RECALL THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS AND REPLACE WITH SOMETHING THAT HANDLES BUMPS BETTER.*AK | |
