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

WHILE DRIVING I FELT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE SWING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, THEN SECONDS LATER THERE WAS NO BRAKE. I WENT TO INVESTIGATE AND NOTICE THAT THE ENTIRE FRAME OF THE CAR WAS ROTTED OUT. THE BRACKET THAT "HOUSE" THE SHOCK WAS ROTTED OUT, WHICH CAUSED THE SHOCK TO BREAK LOOSE AND SEVER THE BREAK LINE. THE BRACKET THAT ATTACHED THE AXLE TO THE FRAME WAS ALSO ROTTED AND IS SEPARATING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY, NO ONE WAS HURT. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT PROCESS TO TAKE TO ENSURE VEHICLE ISSUES ARE CORRECTED CONSIDERING THIS YEAR ,MAKE AND MODEL WAS ON THE RECALL LIST, AND THAT SEVERAL NEWS CHANNEL (TEAM 5 INVESTIGATES) AS DONE REPORT ON THIS VERY PROBLEM. *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

I TOOK MY ISUZU TO A DEALER LAST SUMMER FOR A NATIONWIDE RECALL DUE TO PREMATURE FRAME RUSTING. I WAS TOLD THERE ARE SEVERAL "CATEGORIES" THAT THEY COULD PUT A VEHICLE INTO AS FAR AS THE AMOUNT OF RUST WAS CONCERNED. AFTER AN INSPECTION, I WAS PUT INTO THE WORST CATEGORY THAT INVOLVED FIXING. ANY FURTHER RUST, I WAS TOLD, MEANS THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN JUNKED. THEY ENDED UP REPLACING A FEW SUSPENSION PARTS AND INSTALLING TWO LARGE METAL BRACKETS TO REINFORCE THE FRAME. EVER SINCE THE WORK, THE CAR HAS MADE STRANGE "CREAKING" NOISES. I'VE CRAWLED UNDER THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES AND CANNOT IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE NOISES. LAST WEEK, WHILE DRIVING, A LARGE PIECE OF THE FRAME RUSTED THROUGH AND FELL OFF. TODAY, I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP FOR A BREAK NOISE (UNRELATED TO THE FRAME.) THEY CALLED ME A SHORT TIME LATER AND TOLD ME THE FRAME WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IN THEIR OPINION. I CALLED THE ISUZU DEALER THAT DID THE WARRANTY WORK. THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER THEY CAN DO AS FAR AS THE WARRANTY GOES. I FIND IT ODD THAT THEY PUT A BANDAID ON A RUSTING FRAME ONLY TO HAVE IT GET WORSE A YEAR LATER AND REFUSE TO FIX IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 ISUZU RODEO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE SLIGHTLY TILTED TOWARD THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED WITH CAUTION.

2 DAYS AFTER LEAVING GATLINBURG,TENNESSEE TO BOONEVILLE KY THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS REAR END BROKE AWAY FROM FRAME ON DRIVERS SIDE ALMOST CAUSING A BAD ACCIDENT. CAUSED STEERING AND HANDLING TO BE UNCONTROLLABLE. LUCKILY WE WERE ONLY GOING 30 MPH AT TIME. IF IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED COMING BACK FROM TENN ON INTERSTATE [I DROVE 95MPH HOME]ME AND MY CHILDREN WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT SURVIVED. ISUZU STATED THAT IN FACT THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2010 BUT I NEEDED TO CONTACT THEM THEN. I GAVE 3500 FOR THIS TRUCK ON OCTOBER 21,2010 AND WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANY SAFETY ISSUES. TRUCK HAS GREAT BODY,CLEAN INTERIOR, NO OIL ANYWHERE ON ENGINE, LOOKS AS GOOD AS NEW. NEVER WOULD THINK THE FRAME WAS ALMOST RUSTED INTO ON IN. FROM BRACKET INFRONT OF REAR TIRE THRU TILL BEHIND FRONT TIRE IS RUSTED BEYOND REPAIR. I HAD JUST PURCHASED 425.00 NEW TIRES AND PUT ON IT. NOW ITS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2000 FROM WRIGHT AUTO DEALERS, WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OR TOLD ABOUT 1ST RECALL, ON 5/17 THE BRACKET HOLDING THE FRAME BROKE, THIS VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR 2ND RECALL AND WE WERE TOLD IT WAS SAFE, ONLY STAGE 2 A FEW MONTHS LATER AFTER SITTING IN THE GARAGE THE VEHICLE FAILED WHILE ON THE ROAD, WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. 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. THE DEALER ALSO WRIGHT AUTO SAID THEY SENT IN FORMS AND PICTURES TO ISUZU, STILL WE HAVE BEEN WITHOUT OUR SUV FOR A MONTH. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, WE PURCHASED THIS SUV IN GOOD FAITH THAT IT WAS BUILT RIGHT, WE LOVED THIS VEHICLE AND NOW WE ARE LEFT HANGING WITH NO WORD FROM ANYONE. 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. WE NEED TO REPLACE THIS SUV SOMEONE HAS TO MAKE ISUZU MAKE THIS RIGHT, THIS VEHICLE IS A TRUCK IT SHOULD HAVE LASTED 10 MORE YEARS, THE BODY IS PERFECT JUST LIKE NEW, PLEASE SOMEONE HAS TO HELP ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY A MANUFACTURER NOT MAKING THIS VEHICLE CORRECTLY. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! *TR

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

TL * THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 ISUZU RODEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS DETACHED FROM THE REST OF THE VEHICLE. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 216,000.

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

MY 1999 ISUZU RODEO WAS KEPT BY A DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER AFTER THE RECALL DETERMINED THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO HEAVY FRAME CORROSION. I KNOW THE VEHICLE TO BE WORTH $2500-$3500 BUT ISUZU ONLY WISHES TO OFFER ME 1600 WHICH IS WHAT I PAID FOR IT AND FAR LESS THAN WHAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS ASKING. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE SINCE THEN AND AM SOMEWHAT INSULTED BY THE LOW OFFER AND SLOW SPEED IN WHICH THIS DEAL IS TAKING PLACE. THEY CALL FROM UNKNOWN NUMBERS USE HOLIDAYS AS AN EXCUSE FOR SLOW WORK. I DON'T WANT SOME HUGE UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY, OR EVEN RETAIL. I BELIEVE ACTUAL CASH VALUE BASED ON SIMILAR MODELS SOLD NEAR TO MY GEOGRAPHIC AREA. I BELIEVE ISUZU IS SIMPLY TRYING TO MOVE THINGS ALONG AND NOT TRYING TO USE GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICES. I WILL BE CONSULTING ATTORNEYS TO SEE IF I HAVE ANY OTHER OPTIONS. *KB

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

THE RECALL FOR THE FORWARD MOUNTING BRACKET FOR THE LEFT AND REAR SUSPENSION DOES NOT INCLUDE A RENTAL CAR FOR THE DURATION OF THE REPAIR. I HAVE TO WORK AND DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR FOR A RECALL PROBLEM. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST 3 DAYS OR THEY WILL KEEP THE CAR PERMANENTLY IF IT IS TOO BAD TO REPAIR. I WOULD BE LEFT WITHOUT A VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK OR TO LOOK FOR A VEHICLE IF THEY SHOULD KEEP IT. I FEEL A RENTAL CAR SHOULD BE PROVIDED FOR A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME ALSO IF THEY SHOULD KEEP THE VEHICLE. *TR

1999 ISUZU RODEO.... REAR SPRING MOUNTS AND FRAME ARE ROTTED OUT, CAUSING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. CURRENT RECALL FOR "FORWARD MOUNTING BRACKETS FOR THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK" DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. I THINK THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED.

TODAY I TRIED TO FILL UP WITH GAS AND ENDED UP WITH GAS COVERED FEET BECAUSE THE TANK AND BRACKETS HAVE RUSTED OFF. *TR

LIKE MANY OTHER ISUZU RODEO OWNERS MINE IS RUSTING PREMATURELY UNDERNEATH. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP FOR THE RECALL ON THE FRAME. THE SHOP INSTALLED THE RECALL REAR BRACKETS AND TOLD ME THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNSAFE AS MUCH OF THE REST OF THE FRAME AND UNDER CARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE WAS ROTTING OUT. IS SOMEONE GOING TO HAVE TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE ISUZU IS FORCED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM?

I WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT, DRIVING AT 30 MPH. I THEN FELT THE PASSENGER REAR WHEEL RUBBING IN WHEEL WELL, I DISREGARDED IT. THEN WHILE DRIVING HOME AT 40 MPH I FELT THE WHEELS PULLING ODDLY. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND SAW THE FRAME WAS TOTALLY RUSTED THROUGH AND THE REAR AXLE SUPPORT ARM RUSTED OFF THE FRAME.

I HAVE A 99 RODEO I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET ON DEC. 24 WHEN THE TRAILING ARM SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME IT'S A LARGE MIRACLE THAT I WASN'T KILLED WHEN I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I HAD RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICEFOR THE BRACKET THAT CAME OFF THE FRAME. I HAD MY RODEO TOWED TO THE LOCALE DEALER WHO AFTER KEEPING IT FOR ONE MONTH FINALLY CALLED TO INFORM ME THAT THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE REPAIRED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE FRAME IS SO ROTTED THEY HAVE NOWHERE TO REATTACH THE BRACKET. THE ISUZU CORP. THEN CALLED ME TO OFFER A RIDICULOUS BUY BACK AMOUNT OF 1500 WHICH THEY SAY IS THE COST OF THE REPAIR THEY CAN'T PERFORM. THE BRACKET THAT WAS RECALLED IS NOT THE REAL ISSUE THE ROTTING FRAME IS THE FRAMES ON THESE VEHICLES IS SO ROTTED THROUGH THAT NO BRACKET CAN BE REATTACHED SAFELY. I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF POSTS FROM PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THERE VEHICLE AND I AM DISGUSTED WITH THE FACT THAT NOONE HAS DONE ANYTHING TO MAKE ISUZU FIX THE REAL PROBLEM OR AT LEAST PAY PEOPLE WHAT IS RIGHT AND THAT IS AT LEAST FAIR MARKET VALUE. BECAUSE THEY ARE A BIG CORP WITH LOTS OF MONEY AND RESOURCES THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY LIKE AND US UNFORTUNATE LESS POWERFUL RODEO OWNERS CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. SOMEONE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND GET THESE UNSAFE VEHICLES OF THE ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE DIES BEHIND THE WHEEL OF ONE. *TR

I OWN A 1999 ISUZU RODEO WHICH HAS A RECALL 10V436000, THE REAR SUSPENTION THAT HOOKS INTO THE REAR FRAME RUSTS OUT. MINE DIDN'T DO THAT, BUT MY REAR FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS RUSTED SO BAD THAT THE BODY OF THE CAR ISN'T ATTACHED TO THE FRAME. THE RODEO IS TO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION AND CANNOT BE FIXED.ISUZU HAD MY CAR PICKED UP BY A FLAT BED TRUCK ON 12/15/10 AND TAKEN TO A SERVICE CENTER. I ASKED THEM TO RENT ME A SUV AS I WORK AS A RURAL CARRIER FOR THE POSTAL SERVICE AND I ALSO GO TO 6 DIFFERENT OFFICES IN VERMONT TO WORK, I EXPLAINED THAT I WAS IN DANGER OF BEING FIRED, BECAUSE I HAVE TO PROVIDE THE VEHICLE FOR MY JOB. THE WOULDN'T RENT A VEHICLE FOR ME, THEY ARE NOW SAYING THAT WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, THEY WILL HOWEVER BUY BACK MY CAR FOR LESS THEN WHAT I OWE. I HAVE STILL HAD TO MAKE THE PAYMENTS AND KEEP INSURANCE ON THE RODEO. I SPENT $250. LAST WEEK FOR A SUV TO DO THE RURAL ROUTE. I HAVE BEEN BORROWING CARS FROM FRIENDS AND BUMMING RIDES, I NEVER KNOW DAY TO DAY HOW I'M GOING TO GET TO WORK OR HOW I AM GOING TO DELIVER MAIL. I CANNOT AFFORD TO JUST GO BUY ANOTHER SUV AND MAKE PAYMENTS ON TWO CARS. ITS BEEN 5 WEEKS SINCE THEY TOOK MY RODEO AND IT HAS BEEN A HARDSHIP ON ME.

THE TECHNICIAN ALSO STATED THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE METAL LINK NEEDED TO WELD THE LINK BRACKET BACK ONTO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V436000 (SUSPENSION:REAR). THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE EXTENT OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE IF IT WAS BEYOND REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND WAS LEFT WITH THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

Mileage: 200,000

I HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM ISUZU FOR THE RECALL ON THE SUSPENSION BRACKET BEING BROKEN FROM THE FRAME, AND WAS TOLD WE WOULD BE HAVING OUR CARS PURCHASED BACK AT FAIR MARKET VALUE. NOW THAT THEY HAVE MY VEHICLE THEY SAY THEY WILL OFFER ME THE COST OF THE REPAIR AS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BE SAFE AFTER THE INSTALLATION OF THE BRACKET THEY PROPOSE FIXES THE ISSUE. THIS CAR ALMOST KILLED ME WHEN THE BRACKET BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE FRAME AND NOW THEY SAY IF I DON'T TAKE THE $1500 THEY ARE GOING TO INSTALL THE BRACKET AND GIVE MY CAR BACK, ALTHOUGH IT WILL NOT BE SAFELY DRIVABLE. I BOUGHT THIS FROM A LOCAL GARAGE FOR A FAIR PRICE AND HAD NO INDICATION OF THE FAILURE I WAS ABOUT TO ENCOUNTER. MY COMPLAINT IS FOR THE COMPANIES HANDLING OF THE RECALL AND MANIPULATION OF THE WORDS IN THE RECALL TO SAY THAT ALL THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IS THE BRACKET WHEN CLEARLY THE ISSUE IS FAR GREATER THAN THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THE PROBLEM AS I SEEM TO HAVE LIMITED TIME TO DECIDE EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE ALLOWED 60 DAYS I AM NOT ! I THINK IT IS A GREAT IDEA TO BUY THESE BACK BUT NOT FORCING US TO TAKE HALF OF THE FAIR MARKET VALUE. MY CAR WAS A DAILY DRIVER REGISTERED AND INSPECTED EVERYTHING IN WORKING ORDER UNTIL THE LINK SEPARATION. AT THAT TIME I PARKED IT ON THE SIDE OF MY YARD WHERE IT SAT FOR 9 MONTHS UNTIL IT WAS PICKED UP BY ISUZU. I HAVE OVER $2500 INTO IT , NOT INCLUDING MY LABOR AND FELT A GOOD 4X4 WAS ATLEAST WORTH THAT. I AM IN NO POSITION TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY ON MY OWN AND FEEL THEY ARE NOT TREATING PEOPLE AS THEY SHOULD. I HAVE LOOKED AT SEVERAL RODEOS AT DEALER LOTS THAT ARE GOING TO BREAK THE LINK, AND FOUND MOST OF THE FRAMES ARE LIKE MINE, ROTTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT ! THAT NEEDS TO BE THE RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. I THINK THE ISSUE WITH THE FRAME NEEDS TO BE COVERED BY THE RECALL AS THE SHEETMETAL FLOOR JUST NEXT TO THE ROTTED FRAME IS GOOD AS NEW.... . PLEASE REVIEW THE WORDING IN THIS RECALL AND THE FRAMES IN QUESTION. *TR

TO WHOM IT CONCERNS , I HAVE A 1999 ISUZU RODEO LS THE BIG PROBLEM IS THE FRAME ON THIS SUV IS SO ROTTED FOR AND 11 YEAR OLD CAR THAT I,M VERY SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR IN ALL MY YEARS OF OWNING CAR AND TRUCKS I HAVE NEVER SEEN A FRAME LOOK LIKE THIS AND I,M A WELDER BY TRADE AND DON,T THINK I CAN FIX THAT FRAME . THE BODY IS GREAT AND THE INTERIOR IS SHARP , THE DRIVETRAIN IS FINE BUT THE RUST ON THE FRAME IS SO BAD THAT I WILL LOSE MY LIFE DRIVING THIS SUV .

I HAVE A 1999 ISUZU RODEO IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR I WAS DRIVING ON RTE 104 IN NEW HAMPTON NH AT OR ABOUT 7:30 AM. I WAS ACCELERATING UP HILL WHEN THE REAR OF THE RODEO ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SUDDENLY LIFTED UP AND PUT THE RODEO INTO A HARD LEFT TURN, INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AT A POINT IN THE ROAD THAT HAS A RISING SPEED LIMIT TO 50 MPH. I REACTED AS QUICKLY AS I COULD AND LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND TURNED HARD RIGHT . I MISSED THE ON COMING 10 WHEEL DUMP TRUCK BY MERE INCHES WITH HIS HORN BLASTING AT ME AND THE PICK UP TRUCK BEHIND ME LOCKED UP THERE BRAKES AND ALMOST RAN INTO ME. I SLOWED AND PULLED AS FAR AS I COULD OFF THE ROAD AS THERE WAS NOT TOO MUCH ROOM . I GOT IT TRAILERED TO A SHOP WHERE WE DISCOVERED THE LOWER SUSPENSION LINK HAD BROKEN FROM THE FRAME. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND IN NO WAY REPRESENTS THE CONDITION OF THE REST OF MY VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS NOT A NEW CAR BUT THERE ARE ALOT OF THESE ON THE ROAD AND I FEEL , LOOKING AT MY FRAME THAT IT HAS RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND IS TRULY DIFFICULT TO DETECT UNTIL IT IS TOO FAR GONE. AFTER HAVING THIS CAR ON A LIFT AND SEEING WHAT APPEARS TO BE SMALL SURFACE RUST SPOTS IS ACTUALLY CRUMBLING AWAY FROM THE INSIDE. I HAVE SEEN SOME RECALL INFO ON THE ISSUE THAT I HAVE, ALTHOUGH I HAVE RECEIVED NO NOTICE AS OF YET I FEEL THE ISSUE IS WORSE THAN DESCRIBED. I HAVE LOOKED AT A FEW AT DEALERS AND IN LOCAL PARKING LOTS AND THEY LOOK LIKE MINE. I HAVE ALSO FELT THAT MOST OF THEM WERE IN GOOD SHAPE OTHERWISE AND THE FEW PEOPLE I SPOKE TO WERE UNAWARE OF ANY ISSUE. MY $3000 RODEO NOW SITS IN MY BACK YARD AS I FEEL IT IS TOO UNSAFE TO REPAIR WITHOUT A NEW FRAME AND NOT WORTH THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. *TR

THE FRAME AND REAR SUSPENSION ON MY VEHICLE HAS CRACKED WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH. I BELIEVE IT WAS DURING A TURN WHEN I FELT A SHUDDER THAT WAS ABNORMAL AND WHEN I STOPPED AND LOOKED AT THE UNDERSIDE OF THE REAR OF THE CAR, I SAW THE FRAME BOX AND HOUSING FOR THE REAR SUSPENSION COIL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAD SNAPPED. MY VEHICLE BODY IS 99% RUST FREE BUT THE FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND AT SOME PLACES PERFORATIONS CAN BE SEEN. SLIGHT PRESSURE ON THE FRAME WITH YOUR FINGER CAN BEND THE METAL. *TR

WE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND THE DAMAGE BEFORE ANY ACTUAL "INCIDENT, CRASH, OR INJURY OCCURRED.......HOWEVER EXTENSIVE FRAME ROT WAS DISCOVERED ON OUR 1999 ISUZU RODEO DURING IT'S ANNUAL STATE SAFETY INSPECTION IN JULY, 2009. THE FRAME REQUIRED MULTIPLE PATCHES, INCLUDING SEVERAL TO THE AREA SURROUNDING THE LOWER CONTROL ARM MOUNTING BRACKETS, AS WELL AS RECONSTRUCTION OF THE UPPER COIL SPRING MOUNTING BRACKETS. WE SPENT NEARLY $1000.00 IN LABOR COSTS, TO HAVE THE RUSTED-OUT FRAME REPAIRED, AND MADE SAFE. *TR

I ALSO RECENTLY EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY RODEO ISUZU. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH TOWN ON MY LUNCH BREAK WHEN I SUDDENLY HEARD A METAL 'POPPING' SOUND. I LISTENED AGAIN AND COULD NOT HEAR OR FEEL ANYTHING. A FEW MINUTES LATER I LOST CONTROL OF MY STEERING, FISHTAILING DOWN A HILL. THERE WAS REALLY NO WHERE TO PULL OFF AND I WAS ABOUT A QUARTER MILE FROM MY WORK'S PARKING LOT SO I DROVE SLOWLY, ABOUT 5 MPH BACK TO THE PARKING LOT (SHAKING). IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING BUT FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT ON A HIGHWAY GOING 60 MPH OR I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE, INJURED SOMEBODY ELSE! MY HUSBAND ARRIVED AND LOOKED UNDER THE RODEO AND WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE UNDERNEATH FRAME HAD BEEN COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT WITH THE REAR STABILIZER BAR DETACHED FROM THE FRAME. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FRAME SPECIALIST ONLY TO FIND THE CAR IS NOT REPAIRABLE AND VIRTUALLY WORTH $0. IT IS A 1999 RODEO LSE AND I BOUGHT IT USED BUT HAVE HAD IT FOR 9 YEARS AND IT IS STILL IN GREAT SHAPE. THE BODY IS PERFECT AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE AT ALL. I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTOS FOR YOUR REVIEW. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED TO FIND I HAVE TO SCRAP THIS VEHICLE. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE NEXT STEP IS, COULD YOU PLEASE REPLY. WE ARE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH ISUZU AS WELL AS FILLING OUT YOUR QUESTIONNAIRE. I HOPE TO HEAR FROM SOMEBODY SOON. I NEED TO KNOW IF IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED? *TR

1999 ISUZU RODEO LS 4WD 135000 MILES. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. AS I AM SURE YOU KNOW THESE VEHICLES ARE NOT SAFE ON THE ROAD. THIS PAST JANUARY 2009 I NOTICED MY SPARE TIRE WAS HANGING LOWER THAN IT SHOULD AND A FRIEND SAID IT WAS SWAYING SIDE TO SIDE WHEN I LEFT HIS HOUSE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION LATER THAT DAY. I FOUND THAT THE SPARE TIRE MOUNTS HAD ALMOST COMPLETELY ROTTED AWAY AND THE TIRE WAS READY TO FALL OFF. LOOKING OVER THE REST OF THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THE LEFT CONTROL ARM MOUNT HAD ALMOST ROTTED OFF. MASSIVE HOLES WERE IN THE SIDE OF THE FRAME, ON BOTH SIDES. THE SPRING PERCHES WERE MOSTLY ROTTED OFF AND PUSHED UP AGAINST THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE ENTIRE REAR BUMPER HAD FALLEN OFF. BASICALLY THE VEHICLE IS A MESS IN THE BACK AND UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD WHICH IS A SHAME BECAUSE IT RUNS GREAT AND LOOKS DECENT. BECAUSE OF WHAT I HAVE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION EVER AGAIN AND IS UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE THAT DAY. *TR
