While driving on uneven roads or snow and braking the car produces a grinding noise from the front of the car and the brakes do not fully work if at all. The car takes much longer to stop and in this situation if they are even working at all and may cause a car accident in the future from the car not being able to brake appropriately. I do not know how to correct this failure.

Brakes - while applying the brakes at high or low speeds there is a terrible vibration and grinding sound from the vehicle. It feels as if I am sliding on loose gravel and the vehicle does not stop properly. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership and they claim to be unable to duplicate the problem. I have asked about other complaints about this or if there has been a recall and the answer was no. I can say that I am not happy with the quality or performance of this isuzu product.
