Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Not even a year after purchasing my 2003 isuzu axiom, i have had multiple issues with the brakes. on 5 or more occasions, i have had to come to a sudden stop or have pressed the brakes lightly on a bumpy service and have had very poor results. the results include a sense of the brakes not working at all. before i purchased the axiom, i owed a 98 isuzu rodeo that had very similar braking issues. i had a wreck in my 1998 rodeo where i feel that my brakes failed when i had to come to a sudden stop in rush hour traffic. that was 3 years ago and i still suffer on a daily basis from that car accident. i recall that i pressed my brakes hard and i had to let off the brake and then press them again for the brakes to work. this is the same issue that i have to now deal with on my axiom. this problem does not happen just when you need to brake suddenly. i have had issue when stopped at a red light.you know when you let off the brake some to inch forward a little.....my car will sometimes lurch as though you have pressed the gas. it is a hazard and i really think that there is an issue with the isuzu brakes. my car now has 34,000 miles on it and i have been having my brakes checked and replaced several times. my brakes constantly make a noise and shuttering. i am told that this is my rear brakes....it does not go away and i have them replaced and adjusted several times, as well as replacing the front brakes. *ak
