2001 Isuzu Rodeo Brakes Problems

“I purchased my 2001 Isuzu Rodeo used in april 2012, about a week after I had the vehicle it started stalling out while I was driving, loosing complete power for a few moments then would jerk and continue going. I also noticed when I would hit a small bump and try to apply the brakes I heard a grinding noise and it would not stop for a few feet, even with the brake all the way to the floor. Also when I stop I hear a popping noise in the rear, everytime I stop. Now the vehicle is completely dying at random times. It will die when I am on the interstate going a steady speed, or accelerating. …”

“Recently purchased a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo in october 2006. On november 3, 2006, my husband and daughter were in the car and while pulling in to park the car at a local park, the vehicle took off by itself and would not stop using the break.

The vehicle is currently being fixed in a body shop since a front piece of the fender and the passenger door panel need to be replaced. …”

“While driving at any speed vehicle vibrated when brakes were applied. Also, extended stopping distance. Vehicle was taken to the dealership, and they replaced the four rotors and pads. Vehicle had only 12,500 miles.”

“Dt: the contact stated while the vehicle was at a certified dealership the ABS brakes failed. The mechanic was backing the contact's vehicle out of the garage and the ABS light illuminated. When the ABS light illuminated the mechanic depressed the brake pedal. However, the ABS did not engage. The vehicle crossed the road and ran through a garage door of another business. After the crash the ignition was turned off and restarted. Once the vehicle was restarted the ABS light was not illuminating and the vehicle operated normally. …”
