2001 ISUZU RODEO Complaints

MY CAR FRAME HAS TOTALLY RUSTED THREW BACK BEHIND THE REAR WHEELS,THEY HAVE A RECALL ON IT,YET THEY WONT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IF ITS A COUPLE INCHES BACK FURTHER,THEY TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE IT THAT IT WAS UNSAFE,AND THEY WOULD BUY IT BACK FOR 1080.00.I BOUGHT IT LAST YEAR FOR 5400.00.ITS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION .I SAID NO..I WANT THE VALUE OF THE CAR PRICE. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET HELP IN THIS CASE? *TR

REAR ANTI-SWAY BAR BROKE ALMOST CAUSED MY DAUGHTER TO CRASH. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE DISCOVERED THE REAR FRAME IS SEVERELY CORRODED AND IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE DEALT WITH ISUZU AND IT WAS HAULED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER 110 MILES AWAY FOR REPAIR. THEY SAY IT HAS BEEN FIXED. THEY CALLED IT A STAGE 2 FIX WHICH IS BASICALLY SPRAYING A FRAME TREATMENT ON THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE BRACKETS. WITHIN THE BRACKET VINCITY THE FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND I DO NOT FEEL THIS VEHICLE WAS RATED RIGHT BY THE DEALER, I BELIEVE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A STAGE 4 FIX. I FEEL THIS IS A TERRIBLE SAFTEY ISSUE THAT ISUZU AND HONDA NEED TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBLITY FOR. THERE ARE OVER 150,000 OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND THEY NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST. *KB

THE ISUZU RECALL IS BOGUS THE LOWER LINK IS OK, IT IS THE FRAME THAT IS FALLING APART. CORROSION IS EVERYWHERE ON THE FRAME THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AS OWNERS WE SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR RISKING THE LIVES OF OUR LOVED ONES. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE IS EXCESSIVE CORROSION IN THE VICINITY OF THE FORWARD MOUNTING BRACKET FOR THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED BEYOND REPAIR. THE CONSUMER REFERENCED RECALL 10V436000. UPDATED 09/29/11 *TR

1/20/2010: WHILE DRIVING EXPERIENCED INABILITY TO CONTROL VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION SWING ARM/BRACKETS HAD RUSTED AWAY FROM FRAME. VEHICLE REPAIRED AND WAS COVERED UNDER SAFETY CAMPAIGN/RECALL 10V-436. DURING STATE INSPECTION THIS YEAR (8/23/2011) VEHICLE WAS DEEMED UNSAFE, UNDRIVEABLE AND POSSIBLY UNFIXABLE DUE TO INABILITY TO OBTAIN PARTS. THE CAUSE IS SEVERE RUST IN THE FRAME. I SPOKE WITH ISUZU AT (800) 255-6727 AND WAS TOLD THAT THOUGH THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH MANY PEOPLE THERE IS NO COVERAGE FOR THE RUST AND FRAME DAMAGE. "EVERYONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM IS IN THE SAME BOAT, OUT OF LUCK"

2001 ISUZU RODEO 4X4 3.2 V6 FUEL GAUGE READING INACCURATE. CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH FUEL GAUGE READING INACCURATE - HAS LEAD TO TWO BREAKDOWNS IN THE LAST MONTH. *KB

THE RECALL ON THE ISUZU RODEOS DOES NOT COVER FRAME ROT, JUST THE "REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK BRACKET AREA" WHICH IS OUTRAGEOUS, MY CAR HAS FRAME ROT FROM THE FRONT TIRES ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK, YOU CAN POKE YOUR FINGER THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE, AND IT CRUMBLES LIKE BREAD. WHAT'S THE POINT OF FIXING THE BRACKET IF THE ENTIRE FRAME IS FALLING OFF IN PIECES? DOES THAT MAKE IT ANY SAFER? *TR

I DECIDED TO FILE THIS CLAIM ONCE I READ IT WAS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THE FUEL GAUGE FALLS TO EMPTY WHICH TRIGGERS THE GAS LIGHT TO COME ON. THE TRUCK HAS BETWEEN 1/4 AND 1/2 TANK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE FUEL GAUGE/SENSOR IS FAULTY AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY ISUZU.
