The problem was diagnosed as a rear brake sensor and was replaced. The molding on the driver door was loose, the latch on the console had broken, the sunvisor on the passenger side had fallen down, and the center caps on the front wheels had pitted.

Vehicle was parked and unoccupied in front of owner's home - in first gear with parking break engaged and wheels turned toward the road. There was a clicking noise under the hood and, although parking break was applied, vehicle's wheels were rotating, as if the vehicle was "driving itself". vehicle proceeded to hit another vehicle parked 6+ feet in front of it. When it hit the other vehicle it pushed and held the vehicle's frame about 3 inches forward. The engine started smoking and continued clicking. Fire and police were called. When fire and police arrived, firemen removed battery cables to vehicle and pushed vehicle back to the side of the road and the vehicle's body (vehicle that had been hit) swung back over it's frame. This very dangerous occurrence was witnessed by the woman whose vehicle had been hit. Also, ABS system on the Isuzu never worked and the four-wheel drive most times didn't engage or disengage as it should have. 0N 7/9/2003 the dealer stated the anti theft module failed which caused the vehicle to start up.

If I am decelerating and the front tires hit a bump or dip in the roadway, I lose the brake pedal. I have been told that this is an ABS activation, however, I find it hard to believe this is normal ABS operation. When I rear ended the vehicle, I was decelerating and rolled over a depressed manhole in the roadway causing the braking failure. I can reproduce the failure anytime. I have had Isuzu dealers test drive the vehicle, and they tell me this is normal ABS activation. I have driver four-wheel anti-lock break vehicle's and have never experienced this before. It has caused me to roll through red lights on numerous occasions due to rolling over road way defects while breaking. If ABS is suppose to shorten my breaking distance in lieu of a skid condition, I'd rather go into a skid. At least then I will have some control over my breaking. Please help... I seriously doubt this is normal for ABS. ***dimsii IVOQ entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*****770768
