1999 ISUZU RODEO — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

REPEATED OCCURRENCES OF ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM TAKING OVER CONTROL OF BRAKES WHILE BRAKING AT LOW SPEED. PROBLEM IS MOST PRONOUNCED WHEN ROADS ARE WET OR WHEN TRAVELING OVER BUMPY SURFACE WITH MODERATE BRAKE PRESSURE APPLIED. FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS TWO MONTHS AFTER VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WHILE DRIVING ON WET ROADS. VEHICLE APPROACHED INTERSECTION WITH RAILROAD CROSSING. MODERATE BRAKING PRESSURE CAUSED ANTILOCK BRAKES TO TAKE OVER JUST AS VEHICLE WAS BUMPING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS. VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO STOP. LUCKILY, NO OTHER VEHICLE WAS AT INTERSECTION AT THE TIME. VEHICLE ENDED UP COMPLETELY INSIDE INTERSECTION. DRIVER BACKED UP TO BEHIND PAINTED LINES AND WAS VERY STARTLED AS TO ACTION OF BRAKING SYSTEM. PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN ON WET ROAD AT SMOOTH INTERSECTION. ASSUMED OIL ON ROADWAY WAS CAUSE OF ANTILOCK BRAKE ENGAGEMENT AND DRIVER REPORTED INABILITY TO STOP VEHICLE FOR UNUSUALLY LONG PERIOD AT LOW SPEED. THIRD INCIDENT WAS WHILE PULLING TRAILER WITH 2000 LB LOAD. WHILE PULLING UP TO RESIDENCE, RIGHT FRONT TIRE ROLLED INTO GUTTER WITH WATER. ANTILOCK BRAKES ACTIVATED AND VEHICLE "SLID" FORWARD APPROXIMATELY 10 FEET. VEHICLE WAS ONLY TRAVELING ABOUT 5MPH. LAST OCCURRANCE INVOLVED WET PAVEMENT AND RESULTED IN ANTILOCK BRAKES ENGAGING AT LOW VEHICLE SPEED (APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH) WHILE SLOWING FOR INTERSECTION. VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO STOP. DRIVER TRIED TO AVOID ACCIDENT BY CHANGING LANE TO RIGHT BUT WAS STRUCK BY VEHICLE ON RIGHT AND WAS PUSHED BACK INTO ORIGINAL
