Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: (1) events leading up to failure: on three separate occasions, my 2004 isuzu rodeo 2wd vehicle suddenly accelerated forward while my foot was on the brake pedal. (2) failure and its consequences: all incidences occurred while waiting at either a stop light or sign. had i not had my foot firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle would have lunged forward and either hit the car in front or a pedestrian in a crosswalk. (3) what was done to correct the failure: on june 26, 2006, i took the vehicle in to the only authorized isuzu dealership on the island of oahu to investigate the problem. after checking the car over for two full days, they were not able to resolve the issue. the dealership claims that i would need to recreate the scenario for them to fix the problem. note: potential related incident: on may 4, 2006, the vehicle was taken in to the same dealership due to the check engine light coming on. the cause: inoperable cruise control which required light general repairs (1900 diagnosis). *jb
