I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN OCTOBER OF 2010. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY FINANCED AT MY BANK. I TOOK IT TO FRANCIS SCOTT KEY IN FREDRICK MARYLAND FOR THE RECALL OF THE FORWARDING MOUNTING POINT BRACKET OF THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK FOR CORROSION OF THIS. ON THE 19TH OF AUGUST, 2011 I TOOK IT TO HAVE THE SAFETY RECALL DONE @ FRANCIS SCOTT KEY TOLD ME THEY ONLY DONE WHAT THE RECALL WAS FOR, EXPOSURE OF HIGHLY CORROSIVE MATERIAL THAT IS USED IN SOME JURISDICTIONS FOR DEICING PRUPOSE WHICH AFFECTED THE FROWARDING MOUNTING POINT BRACKET FOR THE LEFT OR RIGHT REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK PRIOR TO THE TIME THAT SUCH CORROSION WOULD NORMALLY BE EXPECTED. MY VEHICLE HAS BAD CORROSION AND RUST ON THE FRONT OF THE SUSPENSION AND I KNOW OF OTHERS WHO HAVE THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR OF MINE AND HAVE HAD THE SAME TROUBLE. I AM LIKE TOTALY CONFUSED AS THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF ALSO BECAUSE I AM BELIEVING THIS SHOULDNT BE IN THIS CONDITION AS THIS SHOULDNT HAVE NORMALLY BEEN IN THIS CONDITION FOR THIS YEAR OF CAR. I AM TAKING CARE OF THIS FORM DUE TO THE SHAPE THAT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE IS IN , IT IS REALLY BAD UP THERE. HAVE YOU HAD ANY OTHER REPORTS OF THIS? I CONSIDERED GETTING ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT CAN NOT AFFORD TO DO THIS AS THIS VEHICLE IS FINANCED.I FEEL ISUZU SHOUD BE RECALLING THIS VEHICLE AS THEY DONE THE IN THE REAR SUSPENSION AND SHOULD BE ALSO TAKING CARE OF THE FRONT ALSO AS THIS IS VERY SERIOUS TO THE SAFETY OF ME AND OTHERS RIDING IN MY VEHICLE AND ALSO OTHER DRIVERS. I AM SURPRISED THAT ISUZU HASNT DONE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AS IT IS A REALLY BAD SAFETY SITUATION... I FEEL THIS MATTER NEEDS DIRECT ATTENTION IF POSSIBLE. THANKS SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

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. I WAS INFORMED BY A MECHANIC THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON JULY 22, 2011. *TR
