I began experiencing braking problems about a year after I purchased the vehicle. When stopping suddenly, the vehicle had extending stopping distances. I had the brakes inspected and was told the brake pads were in good condition. I proceeded to search the internet for recalls and found a safety notice on the ABS system. I brought my vehicle into a dealership for service and was told this notice did not pertain to my vehicle. Shortly after this, I was involved in an accident. The vehicle did not stop when I applied the brakes resulting in a collision with two other vehicles. Three months after the accident, I received a safety improvement campaign notice regarding my vehicle and the ABS.

I do not believe that the brakes on my car have worked correctly since it was purchased. I have had it into the dealer several times, but they said they cannot find anything wrong. During the summer I got a notice that isuzu would be "fixing" brakes on various cars - it was not a recall, but they were going to be doing it for safety reasons. The cars were, I believe, 98 and 99 amigos and rodeos, of which mine is one. I called isuzu and they said they would be sending notices out in the fall. It is now the end of february and I have never heard another word and am not able to get any information. My brakes just don't seem to work properly and I don't think they ever have. It is like it takes longer to stop than it should.
