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

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

I HAD ALL PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE AND A LOT OF WORK DONE ON BRAKES IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS AT THE DEALERSHIP. SUDDENLY, A WEEK AND A HALF AFTER THE LAST REPAIR, THIS PROBLEM COMES FROM NOWHERE. OF COURSE, IT'S AN ADDITIONAL REPAIR WITH ADDITIONAL COSTS. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. THIS CARE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AND VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. *AK
