This request is being submitted following a fatal accident that occurred this past summer involving a 1999 Rodeo. The circumstances surrounding the accident are suspicious as the driver appeared to be unable to stop his car and traveled across an entire median of an interstate, hit another car head-on and burst into flames upon impact. The driver of the Rodeo was my daughter's father and his cause of death was due to thermal burns. He was trapped in the car and burned to death. Questions: Could brake failure have caused this accident" are there reports of explosions/fires with the Isuzu Rodeo? crash tests? the driver did not sustain life threatening injuries from the impact of the crash. He died because the vehicle exploded into flames and he was trapped in the vehicle. Have there been another reports filed with your organization with these circumstances" please help.

When there is ice or snow covered on the road, vehicle does not stop properly. Brakes keep resetting, and vehicle takes a long time to come to a stop. Consumer has contacted dealer, and dealer stated that this was normal. Consumer states this occurs on bumpy roads too and vehicle skids through intersections upon normal braking, dealer has bleed the brakes. At times the brake light and alternator light will illuminate, dealer found that the alternator was not charging, dealer replaced alternator assembly.

Anti-lock brakes engaged and vehicle hits a bump, slushy snow or ice patch caused total loss of braking system for approximately 1-3 second. This also happens in dry weather.

While driving over bumps in road or when going up a hill, and when slight pressure is applied to brakes, pedal goes to floor, causing extended stopping distance, and resulting in a collision. Dealer adjusted rear brake cable which temporarily fixed problem for 8,000 miles.
