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. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE STARTED TO SHAKE, THE WHOLE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY STARTED TO SHAKE, ENGINE CHECK LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE VEHICLE CUT OFF. 45 DAYS LATER, I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK FROM THE DEALER IN OPERATIONAL CONDITION. SINCE THEN IT HAS CUT OFF AND DIED, OR JUST DIDN'T STARTUP 5 MORE TIMES, ALL OF WHICH RESULTED IN TOW SERVICE TO THE DEALER. *AK

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.

AT TIMES THE BRAKE LIGHT AND ALTERNATOR LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE, DEALER FOUND THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT CHARGING, DEALER REPLACED ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY. *SLC

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. *AK

THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED AN EXCESSIVE OIL LEAK 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASED, THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE WASHER SEAL,, PAN GASKET, ELECTRIC CONNECTOR, TRANSMISSION PAN, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BUT THE LEAK REOCCURED.

CONTINUOUS VIBRATIONS IN SUSPENSION. WHEN STOPPING VEHICLE IT WILL MOVE FORWARD. ALSO, WHEN APPLYING GAS PEDAL, VEHICLE SLIPS BEFORE GOING INTO GEAR. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *AK

MY SON WAS DRIVING MY 1999 ISUZU RODEO HOME FROM SCHOOL. HE WAS AT A RED LIGHT, STOPPED TO TAKE A RIGHT TURN AND CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN WENT OUT OF CONTROL. HE TRIED TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL BUT IT WOULDN'T STOP; IT JUST KEPT GOING, HE WENT ONTO THE OTHER LANE AND COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER DRIVER HEAD ON. FORTUNATELY, NOBODY WAS HURT. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THE CAR HAS REVVED UP AND WENT ON ITS OWN. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE IT WASN'T WARMED UP BUT IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. I CALLED ISUZU AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF ANY COMPLAINT LIKE THIS ALTHOUGH I HAVE SPOKEN WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THESE CARS AND THEY SAID THE SAME THINK HAPPENED TO THEM. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY. I ALSO CALLED ANOTHER ISUZU DEALER AND HE SAID HE HAS HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING, I THINK THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.*AK

THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I SLAMMED MY BRAKES ON, AND I HEARD (AND FELT) THE BRAKES LOCK-UP, AND THEN RELEASE (THIS FELT LIKE I WAS SURGING FORWARD). IT WAS WHEN THE BRAKES RELEASED THAT I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.*AK

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A DIRECT FRONTAL IMPACT AT 35MPH. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.*AK

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 35-40MPH ON WET PAVEMENT AND ABS KICKED IN WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED, AND REARENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. MECHANIC TURNED ROTORS. A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH MANUFACTURER. BUT, ABS STILL KICKS IN ON SOME SURFACES.*AK CONSUMER STATES THAT THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN THE ABS KICKS IN IT IS INEFFECTIVE, CONSUMER ALSO STATES THAT THE ABS KEEPS THE WHEELS SO FAR FROM LOCKUP THAT THE BRAKES DO NOT SLOW THE VEHICLE. *SLC

SINCE DAY ONE WE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING SHAKING AT 55MPH AND HIGHER,AFTER 48000 MILES WE DECIDED TO CHANGE THE TIRES AND SEE IF THAT WOULD FIX OUR PROBLEM,GUESS WHAT,DIDN'T EVEN CHANGE A THING,WE ARE SO UPSET AT THE FACT THAT WHILE DRIVING OUR TRUCK WHICH WE ARE LEASING AND THOUGHT OF BUYING AFTER WE HAD FINISHED THE LEASE FEELS SO UNSAFE THAT AFTER THE LEASE IS OVER THIS WILL BE THE LAST ISUZU WE EVER BUY!!! ALONG WITH THE TIRE ISSUE WE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT AN ENGINE RATTLING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING ON HILLS AND THE DEALER WE TOOK IT TO SUGGESTED WE CHANGE FUEL TYPES AND GRADES,THE OWNERS MANUAL SUGGEST THE GRADE WE HAD BEEN USING?? SO WHY CHANGE,WELL WE TRIED THAT TOO...YOU CAN GUESS DIDN'T CHANGE A THING,STILL RATTLES!!!!!!!!WE HAVE HAD MANY OTHER THINGS GO WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK SINCE WE BOUGHT IT AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS MANY PROBLEMS WITH A VEH OTHER THAN THIS ISUZU..THE LATEST THING WE HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH IS A THUNK NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK WHEN LETTING OFF THE BRAKES AT A STOP LIGHT AND STARTING TO PULL AWAY....THUNK!! YOU HEAR IT AND FEEL THE TRUCK JOLT!!...WE HAD THE REAR AXLE FLUID CHANGED AND TRANSMISSION FLUID ASWELL...HA HA...GUESS AGAIN...STILL THERE...OUR NEXT OPTION TO THE ISUZU RODEO NIGHTMARE IS TO JUST PARK THIS THING AND WAIT TILL THE LEASE IS UP AND LET EVERYONE WE KNOW AND THEY KNOW NEVER TO BUY AN ISUZU RODEO UNLESS THE HAVE MONEY TO THROW AGAIN....NEXT TIME WE'LL LOOK AT AN AMERICAN MADE CAR!!!*AK (TIRESIZE: 23575

BRAKES FAILURE OCCURS WHEN BRAKING WHILE GOING OVER ANY TYPE OF BUMP SUCH AS ANY SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, SPEED BUMP, ROAD DRAINAGE GRATE, ETC.. AT SLOW SPEEDS (10-25 MPH). THIS PROBLEM ALSO OCCURS ON WET ROADS. THIS HAS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD INTO AN INTERSECTION AND NARROWLY MISS REAR-ENDING VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS, THE ABS TAKES OVER CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKES FOR 1-3 SECONDS AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO LURCH FORWARD. I'M AFRAID THAT THIS WILL RESULT IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT ONE OF THESE DAYS.*AK

CONSUMER STATES WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED THE BRAKE PRESSURED DECLINED, UPON RELEASE AND RE-APPLICATION PRESSURE RETURNED.*JB

CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE STALLED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AND THE STEERING WHEEL FROZE EACH TIME, DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.*JB

I AM SCARED EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE 3 KIDS AND THIS IS THE FAMILY VEHICLE THAT WE BOUGHT FOR A DEPENDABLE SAFE CAR. EVERY TIME THAT I HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES I WONDER IF THE RODEO WILL STOP. I HAVE DROVE THROUGH INTERSECTIONS AND NOT STOPED AT STOP SIGNS. I HAVE LOST BRAKES ON THE WET ROADS AND LITTERALY BEEN SCARED TO DRIVE MY RODEO. I HAVE SHOWN THE ISUZU CENTRAL MANAGER THAT THE RODEO DOES NOT STOP AT A CERTIAN STOP SIGN AND HE STILL TELLS ME THAT IT IS WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I OWE AS MUCH AS THE CAR IS WORTH AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PUT UP ANOTHER DOWN PAYMENT. *AK

MY BRAKES HAVE STOPPED WORKING WHEN I AM BRAKING AND HIT A BUMP. THE BRAKES ARE ALSO VERY SOFT AND HAVE TO BE PUMPED TO INSURE THAT I HAVE ADEQUATE BRAKING POWER. MY TRANSMISSION SLIPS AFTER COMING TO A STOP THEN STARTING FORWARD AGAIN. ALSO, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE HAS A VIBRATION PROBLEM AND IS DANGEROUSLY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL IN SIMPLE AVOIDABLE MANUEVERS AT 55 MPH AND HIGHER.

WE WERE INVOLVED IN A REAR-END CRASH AND THE SEATS BROKE, RESULT IN HITTING THE LOWER PORTION OF THE BACK AND ARE SUFFERING SERVE PAIN, I FEEL THAT IF BOTH SEATS HAD NOT BROKE THEY WAY THEY DID THEN THE INJURY WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN SO SERIOUS AND PAINFUL.*AK

WHEN THE BRAKES ARE ENGAGED THEY SLIP AND IF GOING OVER ANY BUMP OF ANY SIZE THE BRAKING SYSTEM LOCKS/SLIPS AND YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I HTOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS HOW I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL DRIVES TEST DRIVE AND IT DOES THE SAME THING TO THEM. ALSO, ANOTHER 1999 RODEO OWNER SAID THEIR'S DOES THE SAME THING AND IT IS SCARY NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE GOING TO STOP YOU OR IF YOU ARE GOING TO SLIDE INTO PATH OF ONCOMING TRAFFICE, ETC..... ISUZU HAS A RECALL RELATING TO LOWER BACK LINK AND HAVE HAD THIS WORK DONE.*AK

THE ABS AIR PUMP CONTINUES TO RUN EVEN WITH THE KEY OFF. THE BATTERY CAVLE MUST BE REMOVED FOR IT TO STOP. THE PARTS PERSON AT THE DEALER SAID THIS WAS A MAJOR PROBLEM IN 1998. HE THOUGHT IT WAS A RECALL PROBLEM BUT THE SERVICE DEPT. SAID IT WAS NOT.*AK

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGE UNNECESSARY AT LOW SPEED CAUSING NEAR MISSES ( REARENDING, ROLLING INTO CROSS TRAFFIC, HITTING PEDESTRIANS).*AK

THE TRUCK BARELY STOPS IN TIME. ALMOST HIT PEDESTRIANS TWICE DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE! I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK. DEALER TELLS ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. TRANSMISSION: CAR ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN SOMETIMES. IT REVS HIGH AND HAS OCCASIONALLY LUNGED FORWARD WHILE BRAKING ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AT THIS POINT, I DON'T WANT THIS TRUCK ANYMORE. THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS SINCE I GOT IT AND TWO RECALLS ALREADY. THE MAIN REASON IS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO KILL MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE WHEN BRAKES FAIL AGAIN!!!!*AK
