problem #1

Jun 122000

Rodeo 6-cyl

  • 7,000 miles
Coming to a stop light with a speed of 10 - 15 miles, I start pressing the brake pedal to stop the car, instead stopping the RPM came down to 1000 and suddenly the pedal does not go down and is not stopping and starts accelerating and increasing the speed and RPM jumps to over 8000. I left the car for several days to the dealer ( shaver auto center ) san bernardino, ca and they could not duplicate my story. On October 29, 2002, I did send the car back to the dealer, I paid for the transportation, I called your organization ( claim # 2301038 Oct. 28, 2002 ) and Isuzu and I declined to drive the car for not injuring myself or anyone else. In one week it was a recall and the car was fixed. (I have a copy of the towing company signed by the driver.) -two month ago, April 2012, my car has done almost the same think. On June 04, 2012, I did experience the same think as in 2000. I called a dealer and I have been told to live the car over there to see if they could duplicate the problem. It could be duplicated or...maybe never again, but the problem is there and is a bomb ready to explode. I called your office and I received a very disturbing comments and very unprofessional remarks from; [xxx] and supervisor [xxx] and finally I did file a complain. Since your office was very ethnic against me I do not trust my complain was registered even if I have received a claim number. I have been told to wait 4-6 weeks to receive your file, to look over and to see what else I need to add on. In the mean time no one knows what is wrong and no one believes that acceleration of the car is unstoppable and could endanger my life and other people around. This problem should be solved as soon as possible. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
