WHILE SLOWLY DRIVING ON OUR HOME STREET I WENT OVER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. OUR MECHANIC ADVISED US THE REAR DRIVER SIDE OF THE FRAME HAD SNAPPED. THE REAR SHOCK ON THAT SIDE PULLED OFF THE FRAME DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE RUST. THE OTHER SIDE SHOWS SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE RUST ALSO. THE CAR IS NOW NOT PASSABLE FOR VEHICLE INSPECTION AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE REST OF THE CAR LOOKS GREAT. *TR

I LEFT A FRIENDS HOUSE AND GOT ON 295 WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANGING, THEN A SHORT TIME LATER I LOST MY BRAKES. COME TO FIND OUT THAT I WAS TOLD THE SHOCK BROKE AND BECAUSE OF THAT IT BROKE MY BRAKE LINE AND THE SUPPORT FOR THE SUSPENSION WAS ALL RUSTED OUT. I WAS TOLD BY A FRIEND OF MINE ABOUT A RECALL INVOLVING THE SUSPENSION AND WHAT I HAD DESCRIBED WAS THE PROBLEM. SO I CALL ISUZU AND THEY TOLD ME THAT AS OF DEC. 2012 THAT THEY WERE NO LONGER FIXING ANY MORE VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO. WELL SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED I NEVER RECEIVED AND RECALL NOTICE. I COULD HAVE HAD A VERY BAD ACCIDENT, CONSIDERING I HAD 2 PEOPLE CUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. THIS IS BS. I CANT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS FIXED AND IM PRETTY SURE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS TOO MUCH RUST TO BE FIXED. SO NOW I DON'T HAVE A VEHICLE AND NEED ONE. *TR

IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A MONTH, AT FIRST THEY SAID IT COULD BE FIXED A WEEK LATER THEY TOLD US IT WAS STAGE 5 AND COULD NOT BE FIXED.

WE HAD TO KEEP CALLING THE DEALER AND WOULD WAIT ON HOLD FOR 10 TO 15 MINUTES AND STILL NO ONE IS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE.

WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE HE LOST CONTROL WHEN THE REAR AXLE MADE A LOUD NOISE AND REAR OF SUV VEERED OFF. HE RECOVERED THE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. A LARGE PIECE OF THE SUSPENSION BAR THAT CONNECTED TO REAR AXLE WAS DETACHED FROM FRAME OF VEHICLE. HE DROVE SUV SLOWLY HOME THE REMAINING TWO BLOCKS. UPON INSPECTION BY MECHANIC (AND MYSELF) IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REAR STABILIZATION ARM TO THE AXLE WAS RUSTED TO THE EXTENT THAT IT SNAPPED OFF THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. THE LOCATION OF WHERE THE BAR ATTACHED TO VEHICLE WAS ALSO RUSTED. THE MECHANIC ESTIMATED THAT THE BAR WOULD NEED TO BE WELDED BACK ON TO THE FRAME, HOWEVER, THE CORROSION ON THE FRAME WAS SUCH THAT THERE MIGHT NOT EVEN BE A POSSIBLE WELD SPOT. THE OTHER SIDE OF REAR SUSPENSION (PASSENGER SIDE) WAS ALSO HIGHLY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVEN RIGHT NOW. *TR

PURCHASED 1999 ISUZU RODEO IN JUNE, WHEN I TOOK IT FOR INSPECTION, IT WOULDN'T PASS. TOOK THE CAR TO A WELDING/FRAME SPECIALIST TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. HE DEEMED THE CAR UNFIXABLE BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE RUST AND CORROSION. HE SAID IT WOULD NEED AN ENTIRE NEW FRAME TO MAKE IT SAFE TO DRIVE. HE LOOKED UNTIL DEC FOR AN ACCEPTABLE FRAME UNTIL HE SAID, JUST TAKE IT TO ISUZU, I CANT LOCATE THE PARTS NEEDED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO ISUZU ON DEC 29TH FOR THEM TO INFORM ME I WAS PAST THE RECALL WARRANTY DATE. I EXPLAINED MY SITUATION, AND THEY DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR IT. THESE JUNK FRAMES ARE GOING TO KILL SOMEONE, THE PROBLEM ISN'T JUST THE REAR MOUNTING BRACKET. MY ENTIRE FRAME IS ROTTED THROUGH. IN FACT, IN THE 60 MILES IT TOOK FOR MY CAR TO BE TOWED FROM THE REPAIR SHOP TO ISUZU, MY SPARE TIRE ACTUALLY FELL OFF MY RODEO BECAUSE OF THE CORROSION. THANK HEAVENS I WASN'T DRIVING IT, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS TOLD BY SOMEONE WHO WORKS FOR ISUZU THAT I NEEDED TO SEND PICTURES TO ISUZU SO THAT THEY COULD CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT I HAVE A COMPLAINT REGARDING MY 1999 ISUZU RODEO LS. I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT MY LOWER REAR SUSPENSION BRACKETS WOULD HAVE BROKEN OFF BECAUSE OF RUST IF THE REAR UPPER BRACKETS HADN'T BROKEN OFF FIRST. MY REAR SHOCKS HAVE NOWHERE TO ATTACH AND THE VEHICLE BOUNCES FREELY ON THE REAR SPRINGS. I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE IT WAS SO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE MY CAR TO CHARLESTON, WHICH IS ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY, THAT I COULD JUST TAKE SOME PICTURES OF UNDERNEATH MY CAR REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I CANNOT FIND THE PHONE # TO WHICH I WAS TO CALL TO GET THE EMAIL ADDRESS TO UPLOAD THE PICTURES I'VE TAKEN ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE REAR OF THE SUSPENSION. ALSO, I HAVE ADDED 4 INVALID LAST 4 DIGITS BECAUSE THE REMAINING NUMBERS HAVE BEEN CORRODED SOMEHOW.

WE HAVE A 1999 ISUZU RODEO MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 25 MPH DURING THE RAIN WHEN SHE GENTLY APPLIED THE BRAKES, SHE HEARD A NOISE THE RODEO BEGAN SLIDING CAUSING AN IMPACT WHICH RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. VARIOUS OTHER TIMES WE WOULD BE DRIVING AND ESPECIALLY DURING WET ROAD CONDITIONS THE BRAKES MADE A NOISE CAUSING THE TIRES TO ROTATE PREMATURELY IN AN UNCONTROLLABLE SLIDING MOTION.IN 2011 WE TOOK OUR RODEO IN ON RECALL NO. 10V-436, (EXCESSIVE CORROSION MAY RESULT IN THE LEFT OR RIGHT REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK BRACKET BECOMING DETACHED FROM THE FRAME, WHICH CAN AFFECT VEHICLE HANDLING AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH.) THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THE INSPECTION WHICH WAS DETERMINED THAT THE RECALL SHOULD NOT BE PERFORMED. DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION THE REINFORCEMENT BRACKET REMEDY WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE. IN ORDER TO PERFORM THIS RECALL THE BODY IS DETACHED FROM THE FRAME AND IF CORROSION IS PRESENT ON THE FRAME THIS RECALL WOULD ONLY CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGES WEAKENING THE FRAME MAKING IT UNSAFE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. THE FRAMES SHOULD BE RECALLED ALSO! THE FRAMES ALSO HAVE EXCESSIVE CORROSION AND ALSO ONCE A FRAME IS COMPROMISED IT'S WEAKENED! BY DOING THIS RECALL IT DIMINSHES THE INTEGRITY OF THE FRAME ANYWAY. THEREFORE, THIS RECALL IS NOT A RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEMS IT'S A BIGGER SAFETY ISSUE AND PUTS MANY CONSUMERS AT RISK! AS FOR ISUZU PROVIDING THE CONSUMERS WITH AN APPROPRIATE REMEDY... THIS IS NOT HAPPENING! *TR
