2000 ISUZU RODEO Complaints

WAS DRIVING W/MY HANDICAPPED DAUGHTER WHEN THE CAR SWAYED FRONT ONE WAY BACK THE OTHER HEARD A TERRIBLE SCRAPING NOISE THOUGHT I HAD A FLAT TIRE ,LOOKED TIRES WERE FINE LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND THE FRAME RIGHT NEAR THE GAS TANK BROKE AND IS COMPLETELY RUSTED I LOOKED AND THERE ARE AT LEAST 20 COMPLAINTS AND ISUZU DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT , I THINK THIS IS OUTRAGES AS THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A FIRE AN MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BE BURNT BEFORE I COULD GET HER OUT I DON'T KNOW WHY THE COMPANY IS NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE AND RECALLS ARE NOT DEMANDED. I THINK THAT YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS CONDITION, ISUZU KNOWS ABOUT IT AS THEY HAVE A 12 MONTH WARRANTY ON CORROSION KNOWING THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN THAT SOON. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU INTEND TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE THERE IS SOME HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. I NOW HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION FOR MY CHILD AND WILL NOT HAVE MONEY FOR A NEW CAR OR A USED ONE AND I LIVE IN THE COUNTRY W/NO TRANSPORTATION AND HAVE TO DEPEND ON OTHER PEOPLE FOR DR'S APPT. AND SHOPPING, TRIPS TO THE DRUG STORE . I FIND ALL THIS VERY UNFAIR TO EVERYONE THAT OWNS AN ISUZU!!!!!! *TR

I PURCHASED THE 2000 ISUZU RODEO IN WHAT LOOKED LIKE PERFECT CONDITION. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT BY MECHANICALLY INCLINED FRIENDS. IT HAD AN ACTIVE MASSACHUSETTS INSPECTION STICKER. BUT IT FAILED INSPECTION IN RHODE ISLAND, WHERE THE MECHANIC SAID THE FRAME LOOKED LIKE IT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY PATCHED NUMEROUS TIMES. I WAS PULLED OVER A WEEK LATER BECAUSE THE REGISTRATION HAD BEEN SUSPENDED AS A RESULT OF A FAILED INSPECTION. THE SECOND MECHANIC ALSO REFUSED TO PASS ITS INSPECTION, SINCE IT IS UNSAFE AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED. HE SAID THE FRAME RUST AND ROT ARE EXTENSIVE, AND IN DANGEROUS LOCATIONS, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO FLIP IF IT WERE IN MOTION WHEN THE FRAME SNAPPED. IT SHOULD NOT BE REPAIRED. *TR
