I WAS DRIVING MY1999 ISUZU RODEO WHEN I HAD LOSS OF CONTROL. THE VEHICLE PULLED BADLY TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. I LATER FOUND OUT THE REAR CONTROL ARM HAD RUSTED OFF THE FRAME. I ALSO FOUND OUT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THESE VEHICLES ALONG WITH THE FRAME RUSTING OUT. I REALLY FEEL THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS AND A RECALL. THIS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY 1999 ISUZU RODEO FRAME BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE SUV. I WAS ON A SIDE STREET AND WAS GOING 15-20MPH. *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY WHEN REAR OF VEHICLE STARTED SWAYING. CHECKED OUT THE REAR AND FOUND THE FRAME AND ITS BRACKETS ARE ROTTED OUT. CONTACTED ISUZU CORP AND THEY TOOK MY CLAIM AND GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER. SERVICE GARAGE SAYS ITS TO THE POINT OF NO RETURN ITS ONLY GOOD FOR SCRAP. IN MY OPINION ISUZU DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUE. ITS A MONEY ISSUE TO THEM. A RECALL WOULD BE TOOO COSTLY BUT, TELL THAT TO A CHILD WHOSE FAMILY ALL DIED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT ISUZU WONT OWN UP TO. *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

I NOTICED AS I WENT TO INFLATE MY TIRES ON MY VEHICLE. THAT MY BRIDGSTONE, DUELLER II, D684Z, DOT#7X-9L-POA-0603, P245/70/R16. THAT THE TIRE HAS CRACKS AND APPEARS TO HAVE TREAD SEPARATION. *TR

1999 ISUZU RODEO REAR SUSPENSION ROTTED AND DISCONNECTED SPRING FROM REAR LEFT TIRE. ALSO RIGHT FRONT SWAY BAR ROTTED CAUSING CAR TO SWERVE DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. UPON INSPECTION WHILE ON LIFT IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE FRAME IS ROTTING THROUGH, MAKING THE VEHICLE, WHICH RUNS GREAT, UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
