What owners say
As I was attempting to merge onto a highway exit ramp, I applied the brakes with what was typical force for such conditions. The road was wet and as I was braking, the vehicle went over an expansion joint in the overpass of the road. The brake pedal went to the floor, the wheels locked up, and the vehicle skidded, using excessive braking distance, thus resulting in a low-speed rear-end accident with the vehicle in front of me. Little damage was done to the other vehicle; however, the front bumper of my vehicle, a 1999 isuzu rodeo was pushed back. I now find out that isuzu has issued a safety recall for the ABS, which is responsible for this accident and the resulting damage to my vehicle. The damage has never been repaired. I would like isuzu, as a part of its recall campaign to repair the damage to the front bumper, free of charge.

This request is being submitted following a fatal accident that occurred this past summer involving a 1999 rodeo. The circumstances surrounding the accident are suspicious as the driver appeared to be unable to stop his car and traveled across an entire median of an interstate, hit another car head-on and burst into flames upon impact. The driver of the rodeo was my daughter's father and his cause of death was due to thermal burns. He was trapped in the car and burned to death. Questions: could brake failure have caused this accident? Are there reports of explosions/fires with the isuzu rodeo? Crash tests? The driver did not sustain life threatening injuries from the impact of the crash. He died because the vehicle exploded into flames and he was trapped in the vehicle. Have there been another reports filed with your organization with these circumstances? Please help.
