- Streamwood, IL, USA
The ABS light came on. When I turned the car off, the engine would not turn off. I found out later that it was the ABS system and I had to remove the fuse. When I took my car into the dealership they new exactly what this was and he went on to tell me that they had 3 of the same problems yesterday and 1 more that morning. After doing some investigation I noticed that a lot of 1999 rodeos also have had the same problem. I was extremely lucky that my car was still under warranty. Otherwise I would have had to pay 325$ for the new ABS system + labor. I find it hard to believe that they are not recalling this part after so many people having the same problem with there ABS. This needs to stop! if your car acts the same as mine did, check out the 1999 rodeos and 1999 passports. All have of them have the same problem. It is about time Isuzu did something about this problem!!! nlm

When driving and applying brakes forcefully ABS is only functioning on 1 side of vehicle. Stopping distance is greatly extended, and vehicle skids. Brake pedal will sink to the floor, and car will shake from side to side. Consumer has narrowly avoided 3 collisions due to ABS effectiveness.
- Orlando, FL, USA
At this time the car is in the shop, so I'm unaware yet of all things wrong. I do know that while in drive mode, and with the brake pressed, the car momentarily cut out and lunged forward. The clock reset itself at random.

The ABS system in my truck engages at times when it should not and dramatically reduces stopping distance. On Sept 6th this resulted in my crashing into a light pole causing some major damage. Pictures of the damage may be viewed on my website, www.geocities.com/treading_lightly/damage.html this ABS system has caused quite a few close calls for me. Once, it engaged when slowing down for a tollbooth on the Pennsylvania turnpike. When my tires hit a wet metal expansion joint in the booth lane, the ABS engaged and I went right thru. This ABS system is way too sensitive and dangerously unsafe.
- Pittsburgh, PA, USA
A vehicle stoped in front of me, I hit the brakes, heard a grinding noise near the brake pedal, hit the rear of the vehicle in front of me. There were no skid marks at the scene.
- Mesa, AZ, USA
When coming to a complete stop, and when applying the brakes the ABS system fails to work properly over a rough surface. Which has almost caused a collision. When taken to the dealership, the foreman tried to explain to me that this is normal for this vehicle. This stikes me as odd since the problem just recently begun. The dealership has done nothing to correct the problem.
- Hopewell, VA, USA
While driving on a curve at 20 mph brakes failed upon application. Brake pedal went straight to the floor, causing the vehicle to run off the road and into a ditch. The dealer was not contacted.
