VEHICLE HAS A VIBRATION(SHAKE OR WHOPPLE) IN DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HAS A BAD VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING WITH SPEED OF 50MPH OR MORE. HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THIS COMPLAINT AND CONTACTED ISUZU TWICE, TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED AND BALANCED, RIMS CHANGED, HUB ASSEMBLY REPLACED, AND WHEEL BEARINGS REPACKED. WE HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD FROM THEIR CUSTOMER REALTION REPRESENTATIVE THAT THIS IS A NORMAL RIDE FOR THIS VEHICLE.

I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE MAKES FORCEFULL JERKS WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AND UPON ACCELERATION.*AK

WHENEVER THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND ONE TRAVELS OVER A BUMPY ROAD (I.E. RAILROAD TRACKS) THE ABS KICKS IN. ONE CAN FEEL THE PULSATION IN THE BRAKE PEDAL THEN IT FEELS LIKE TTHE PEDAL DROPS TO THE FLOOR. AS A RESULT, THE STOPPING DISTANCE HAS SUDDENLY INCREASED. I HAVE HAD A CASE WHERE I COULDN'T STOP IN TIME AND ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. AS A RESULT, WHENEVER THIS EFFECT HAPPENS I COMPENSATE BY IMMEDIATELY GETTING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND QUICKLY REAPPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL AFTER PASSING OVER THE BUMPS. I CAN REPRODUCE THIS AFFECT CONSISTENTLY AT AN INTERSECTION NEAR MY WORKPLACE SINCE THE ROAD HAS SOME SMALL BUMPS RIGHT BEFORE AN INTERSECTION. THIS ONLY OCCURS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN ~10-20 MPH. IF ONE GOES SLOW ENOUGH OVER THE BUMPS THE ABS WILL NOT KICK IN. SO WHENEVER I COME TO A STOP I AM ALWAYS WARY OF THIS SITUATION. BUT I'M CONCERNED WHEN SOMEONE ELSE BORROWS MY VEHICLE. *AK

VEHICLE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE 10/00 . ABS KICKS IN "AT WILL" USUALLY DURING STOP & GO TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AND EXTENDS STOPPING DISTANCE GREATLY. HAS ALREADY CAUSED FRONT END DAMAGE. MANUFACTURER HAS DENIED ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE LINE. *AK
