I pulled into a handicap parking spot in front of a supermarket, put it in park, set the emergency brake. Got out out vehicle, locked the doors. Started to walk away and a guy that was sitting at a table in front of store yelled there goes your car. I ran beside the car to try to open the door to no avail. The car crashed backwards into another vehicle. The police were called and was told by them to call insurance company and to leave if both vehicles were okay to drive. I feel the park gear failed and the emergency brake failed. This has happened before just in park a couple of months ago.

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 isuzu rodeo. The contact was driving 5 MPH and while applying the brakes, the vehicle would not respond. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was discovered that the rear shock brackets were rusted and fractured from the vehicle. When the failure occurred, the brackets struck the brake lines and caused a loss of brake fluid and braking power. The mechanic repaired the brake lines but the rusted shock bracket was not repairable. The contact attempted to call both the dealer and manufacturer but was unsuccessful. The failure mileage was 91,800.

I bought a 1998 2wd isuzu rodeo from a private party six months ago. Since I bought it, I have been experiencing a loss of braking capability in some circumstance (every day, mainly when the engine is cold) that resulted in extended stopping distances and continuous illumination of the ABS warning lamp. My garage mechanic told me this issue is due to the ABS coil integrated module that needs to be replaced and that there is a recall on it for 1998-1999 isuzu rodeo vehicles (campaign no. 02i-002, campaign bulletin sb03-09-s001d, the federal safety agency campaign id number: 02i002000). I called two isuzu dealers but they told me there are no open recalls for my vehicle VIN#. I don't understand why my 1998 isuzu rodeo is not included in this recall.

Driver side front brake pads sheared clear of the clips, jammed the rotor to where it could not be turned by hand, broke the seals on the caliper pistons releasing brake fluid. *jb result was a driver side tire that was locked up almost to the point of skidding and no brakes. The vehicle traveled less than 2 miles from the time the problem was first noticed (a strange sound) to the point at which there were no brakes. Also, no brake warning light was ever seen by the driver. Topped off the brake reservoir, pumped the brakes about 6 times until reservoir was back down to "add" and still no brake warning light visible on the dash.

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.
