I bought a 1998 2wd Isuzu Rodeo from a private party six months ago. Since I bought it, I have been experiencing a loss of braking capability in some circumstance (every day, mainly when the engine is cold) that resulted in extended stopping distances and continuous illumination of the ABS warning lamp. My garage mechanic told me this issue is due to the ABS coil integrated module that needs to be replaced and that there is a recall on it for 1998-1999 Isuzu Rodeo vehicles (campaign no. 02I-002, campaign bulletin SB03-09-S001D, NHTSA campaign id number: 02I002000). I called two Isuzu dealers but they told me there are no open recalls for my vehicle VIN#. I don't understand why my 1998 Isuzu Rodeo is not included in this recall.
