NHTSA Complaint #770613 — 1999 ISUZU RODEO

OEM TIRES WEAR OUT QUICKLY, MY WIFE AND I OWNED 2 OF THESE VEHICLES. ONE WITH YOKOHAMAS ONE WITH GOODYEARS. UNEVEN TREAD WEAR RESULTIN IN TIRE CUPPING AND VERY ROUGH RIDE. HER RODEO WAS A LS 4WD MINE IS A 2WD BASE MODEL. I LOOK AT TIRES ON OTHER RODEOS I COME ACROSS IN PARKING LOTS AND ALL SHOW SIGNS OF UNEVEN WEAR. ALSO ABS SYSTEM IS JUNK. ANY STOP NOT EXECUTED ON EVEN LEVEL PAVEMENT RESULTS IN LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND VERY LONG BRAKING DISTANCES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND I CONSIDER IT VERY DANGEROUS. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE "COMPUTER" GETS CONFUSED AND RESETS DURING ANYTHING OTHER THAN IDEAL BRAKING CONDITIONS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE FURTHER! MY BRAKES JUST FAILED THE OTHER DAY AS I WAS BACKING UP AND I HIT ANOTHER CAR. DT
