I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON 08/06/2014...I WAS DRIVING IT HOME AND IT FELT WEIRD. THE VERY NEXT DAY I HAD OUR MECHANICS PUT IT ON THE RACK TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE UNDERSIDE...I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS IN TOTAL DISBELIEF AT HOW RUSTED OUT AND CORRODED THE FRAME WAS. IT IS SO BAD IT HAS ACTUAL HOLES IN THE FRAME FROM FRONT TO BACK. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND CANNOT BE DRIVEN IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION. I WOULD LIKE ISUZU TO PURCHASE IT BACK FROM ME. *TR
