1995 ISUZU RODEO Complaints

THE CLUTCH IN MY VEHICLE WAS REPLACED AND WITHIN 3 MONTHS IT HAS AGAIN FAILED. I HAVE LOST COMPLETE USE OF MY VEHICLE AGAIN DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL FAILURES AND THE CLUTCH FAILING

THE FRAME OF THE 1995 ISUZU RODEO HAS THREE SIX INCH BYE SIX INCH HOLES IN FRAME TWO IN THE REAR AND ONE IN THE FRONT, THE ENTIRE FRAME IS NO THICKER THEN A PIECE OF PAPER BECAUSE ITS ROTTED TO NOTHING. YOU CAN PUSH THREW IT IN SOME SPOTS WITH YOUR FINGER. THIS WAS TO BE MY DAUGHTERS FIRST VEHICLE BUT IS NOTHING SHORT OF A DEATH TRAP. I HAVE CONTACTED ISUZU WHO TOLD ME THEY WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEY CREATED FROM USING CHEAP METAL AND CHEAP UNDERCOATING AND THEY ADMIT IT. HOW IS THIS LEGAL IN ANY WAY

I PURCHASED VEHICLE FOR MY 16 YR OLD TO DRIVE AND FOUND OUT AFTER GETTING IT THAT THE WHOLE UNDERNEATH THE RODEO THAT IT IS RUSTED OUT BY THE SHOCKS ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONT. *TR

WHEN WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE WE WERE TOLD THERE IS SIGNIFICANT RUST DAMAGE TO THE FRAME. IT COULD NOT BE FIXED AND AS A RESULT WAS NOT WORTH PUTTING MUCH MONEY INTO THE CAR. TODAY WHEN WE TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT GARAGE WE WERE TOLD THERE IS A RECALL ON THE FRAME. I AM UNABLE TO FIND EVIDENCE OF A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL YEAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 ISUZU RODEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS RUST AROUND THE FRAME ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WHEELS. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 170,000. NEWER CARS WERE RECALLED. UPDATED 11/03/2011 *LN *TR

I TOOK MY 95' ISUZU RODEO TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC FOR NEW SHOCKS AND STRUTS. A FEW MINUTES LATER THE MECHANIC CAME IN THE WAITING ROOM AND SAID HE COULD NOT WORK ON THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE FRAME RUST AND THAT THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. HE WENT ON TO SAY ISUZU IS KNOWN FOR RUST AND HAS NOT MADE EFFORTS TO RECALL THEIR DEFECTIVE FRAMES. I AM NOW UNABLE TO PERFORM THE NORMAL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE NEEDED TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF MY VEHICLE AND INVESTMENT. THIS IS ALSO A HUGE SAFETY RISK THAT ISUZU SHOULD ADDRESS. *TR
