The contact S owns a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo. He received a recall on 10-14-05 regarding the brakes on the vehicle. The contact has not taken the car ito dealer to have the recall repair work done. The contact's vehicle was involved in an accident one year ago. A child ran O in front of vehicle, he swerved to miss the child, hit the brak they did not work, and the vehicle hit a telephone pole. A police report was taken. He felt that the accident caused other damage to the car, such as transmission slipping. He noticed the transmission slipping about five months ago. Had to do a lot of repair work to the front end of the vehicle about five months ago air bags deployed, and he has not had them installed again.

While driving on wet pavement at 40-45 mph, I hydroplaned into a guradrail and then into oncoming traffic. Felt as if all of the sudden I lost all control of vehicle, and no corrective measures helped. Then earlier this month, 10-2001, while driving again on wet pavement, had same experience, but no wreck this time. I feel as though both instances were beyond my control and I am becoming increasingly concerned about the safety of the vehicle.

Tremendous vibration throughout vehicle. This applies to both the rear and front suspension/brake components. Manufacturer/dealer and zone service rep was contacted. Isuzu failed to correct the problem stating and I quote "it is a truck and it is intended to ride like one". the whole body vibration was corrected after many attepmts, the problem was out of balance rear drums. After completion of balancing the rear drums the main body vibration was eliminated. Violent steering wheel shimmy was still present. After having checked shocks, tires, rims bearings etc the front rotor and hub assemblies were balanced as a pair, this eliminated the steering wheel shimmy. Since both the front and back components were balanced all the vibration has been eliminated. Tires have not been rebalanced in 14,000 miles, they have been rotated with no adverse affect. Many thousand of dollars were spent in isolating this problem, new tires, shocks, rear drums, front rotor and hubs, bearings, seals and the manufactur of precision balancing mandrels and balancing costs. Isuzu needs to recognize this problem and repair/ replace these components for others, mine is corrected. I see "many" posts of this vibration issue and am aware that many were lemon lawed for it. Isuzu has failed to service and correct the issue and has abandoned their customers on this issue.
