1998 ISUZU RODEO Complaints

WHILE GOING LESS THAN 5 MILES PER HOUR I HAD TO APPLY MY BRAKES SUDDENLY. THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP CAUSING A CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES, BECAUSE THE MOTORIST IN FRONT OF HER SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND WHEN THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR WHICH CAUSED A COLLISION. THE CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE ROTORS AND OTHER BRAKE PARTS NEEDED REPLACEMENT.*AK *CB *JB

IT WAS RAINING. WENT TO STOP AT THE INTERSECTION OF SCOTT BLVD AND N. DECATUR GOING AT APPROX 10 MILES AN HOUR. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. I RELEASED AND TRIED AGAIN AND THERE WAS NOTHING. HIT THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. THE MODULE FOR THE ABS WAS REPLACED IN APRIL 2003.
