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
