TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 ISUZU RODEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING OVER SPEED BUMPS HE HEARD A LOUD NOISE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 55 MPH, THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN MOVING RAPIDLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH INCREASED. A LOCAL MECHANIC CONCLUDED THAT THE RIGHT PORTION OF THE FRAME WAS CORRODED. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 102000.

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

WHEN YOU GO TO PUT GEAR SELECTOR INTO PARK THE IGNITION KEY GETS STUCK TEMPORARILY ON MY ISUZU ASCENDER 2003 . SOMETIMES I HAVE TO WAIT 1 MIN OR SOMETIMES 10 MIN.

IT COULD BE STOLEN OR EVEN CAR JACK. *TR

MY MOTHER OWNS A 2002 ISUZU, AXIOM, SHE BOUGHT NEW IN 2003. SHE WENT TO GET IT INSPECTED TODAY AND THEY TOLD HER THE FRAME WAS RUSTED SO BAD THEY COULDN'T PASS IT. SHE ONLY HAS 42,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE WHICH IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE OTHERWISE. THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THIS EVEN THOUGH IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD ON THE ROAD. WE ARE UNSURE WHETHER WE CAN GET IT FIXED. WHAT KIND OF RECOURSE DO WE HAVE? *TR
