The contact owns a 2000 Isuzu Rodeo. The contact was driving 5 mph and while applying the brakes, the vehicle would not respond. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was discovered that the rear shock brackets were rusted and fractured from the vehicle. When the failure occurred, the brackets struck the brake lines and caused a loss of brake fluid and braking power. The mechanic repaired the brake lines but the rusted shock bracket was not repairable. The contact attempted to call both the dealer and manufacturer but was unsuccessful. The failure mileage was 91,800.

The contact owns a 2000 Isuzu Rodeo. While driving approximately 25 mph, the vehicle vibrated and jerked when the brake pedal was depressed. There were no warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and they stated that the front brakes were overheated and cracked. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic on four separate occasions for identical failures. Recently, the mechanic stated that the failures were related to a defect with the antilock brake system unit and electrical issues. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure mileage was 90,000 and current mileage was 91,313.

Rodeo 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,000 miles
On 3 separate occasions when brakes applied, the vehicle went through red light, at times feeling as if there were no brakes. Also vehicle is going on anti-lock braking system (ABS) mode when traveling on gravel, mud and at times on pavement when applying brakes at 20/30 mph. Dealer adjusted the rear brakes and found the brake system to operate as designed and concluded that hitting a bump when braking can also cause the ABS to activate.
