I have a '99 Isuzu Rodeo and two years ago a recall was sent out for the ABS control module. We got that recall performed, though there was nothing wrong with the control module. Now it's been two years and the ABS control module is bad and causing the brakes to perform unsafe. I called Isuzu and their response is that it's not their responsibility to replace the replacement part. I feel that their actions dictate that they put in a part that did not meet up to spec, since the original part that was replaced lasted 6-7 years and was still good. Now I'm force to spend a lot of money for repairs that should not have happen in the first place not to mention the knowledge that the replacement part only comes from Isuzu and knowing now what I know, it'll only last a year or so and fail again. I just hope nothing bad happens due to it.

Problems with ABS module on 1999 Isuzu Rodeo. Consumer had the ABS module replaced in the vehicle two months before receiving a recall on the exact part that was replaced. Consumer wanted reimbursement for the first repair at a totoal of $303.93. Mechanic replaced the ABS module and assembly due to constant running.

Isuzu 1999 Rodeo. I purchased the vehicle on 6-17-03 and on the way home the ABS light went on. When I went to shut off the car the module kept running. We had to pop the ABS fuse for it to stop. So the car went back the next day. From there it went to an Isuzu dealer to fix. There is definitely a problem Isuzu needs to deal with.

Thursday, April 3, 2003 my 1999 Isuzu Rodeo began making unusual sounds from inside the hood and the ABS light lit up on the dashboard. Upon looking under the hood, I discovered the brake module was running despite turning the car off and removing the key. The only way to stop the module from running was to remove the negative cable from the battery. I immediately called the crest Isuzu dealership in plano, Texas and spoke the service department about the problem. The technician's first response was that I may qualify for a free replacement because there was a "manufacturer's installation problem" on some of the Rodeos coming from certain plants. I gave him my VIN number and he came back and told me my VIN number was not on the list. I found it odd that Isuzu would recognize that some parts were defective, but not respond to mine. My next step was to contact the owner relations department of american Isuzu motors, Inc. I initially spoke with don who informed me that in July, Isuzu was launching a campaign to replace all brake modules in 1999 Isuzu Rodeos. I was told this was a safety upgrade and did not mean that the part had any problems. I was told that I would have to pay for the replacement of my module because it was not yet July. I am being told two separate stories from Isuzu employees. I need a written response from Isuzu explaining how my defective brake module is not related to the campaign to replace all brake modules in July. I don't think Isuzu wants to be responsible for any accidents that may result in the next 3 months because my defective brake module was not attended to.

In August of 2002, I was driving my 1999 Rodeo that I had leased new in 2002 and this running noise continued after I turned off the engine. It was the ABS module. It had to be unplugged to keep the battery from being run down. The repair is about $500 and Isuzu wants to ignore that there is a problem with this component. Before the noise started, the stopping distance was very long and there was a popping feeling in the brake pedal. I took it in to the dealer and was told "nothing was wrong and that was the way anti-lock brakes felt" the ABS light came on. All of this started with 40,000 miles on the vehicle. There is a problem with the Rodeo that needs to be addressed and recalled by Isuzu without the cost of life or money to the consumer.
