TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 ISUZU AXIOM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE SUSPENSION BEGAN JERKING VIOLENTLY AND EXHIBITED A LOUD NOISE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE.

THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR DIAGNOSIS AND HAD NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON 2/20/14 THE LOWER REAR END OF MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE A LOUD CLICKING SOUND AND AS I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN THE REAR END OF MY CAR UNDERNEATH MADE A LOUD SOUND CAUSING IT TO SWERVE QUICKLY.IT SCARED ME BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE THE BACK OF THE CAR WAS FALLING ON TOP OF THE TIERS (IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE) BUT THAT'S HOW IT FELT DUE TO THE LOUD SOUND. SO NOW I FIND OUT THAT THIS SAME PROBLEM IS DUE TO THE POOR WORK OF ISUZU RODEO,IT SEAMS THAT ALL 2000 ISUZU RODEO'S ARE UNDER A RECALL,AND I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM I'M A CAREGIVER AND NOW IM UNABLE TO GET TO MY PATIENTS BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK,I'M HOPING AND PRAYING THAT SOMEONE IN YOUR JURISDICTION CAN HELP ME FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS URGENT MATER,PLEASE SOME ONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DRIVES ONE OF THESE CAR'S ON THE HIGH WAY AND PEOPLE GET HURT.IF SOMEONE SAW HOW CORRODED THE REAR SUSPENSION OF MY CAR IS YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE ISUZU IS SELLING CARS LIKE THIS,,I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME,PLEASE,PLEASE......!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

ISUZU IS NOT HONORING IT'S RECALLS. I BOUGHT A USED ISUZU RODEO WHEN I CALLED ISUZU IN ORDER TO DO THE RECALLS THEY SAID MY CAR HAD NO RECALLS ON FILED BASED ON MY VIN#. SINCE THAT CALL MY REAR BRACKET SUSPENSION HAS CORRODED AND DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE FRAME WHICH COULD OF KILLED ME. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL IT SAYS "A VEHICLE OLDER THAN 10 YEARS WILL BE REPAIRED FOR FREE ONLY IF IT IS BROUGHT TO AN ISUZU OR HONDA DEALER WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF NOTIFICATION". WELL I'VE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANYTHING AND ISUZU IS REFUSING TO DO REPAIRS. EVEN WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE ISUZU REPAIR CENTER THEY WOULD NOT TOUCH IT OR OFFER ME ANY REMEDY? I INCURRED TOWING EXPENSES, TIME OFF FROM WORK TAKING THE CAR TO THE AUTHORIZED REPAIR CENTER. HELP A CONSUMER OUT PLEASE. LET'S DO THE RIGHT THING HERE. ISUZU SHOULD HONOR ALL IT'S RECALLS ON MY CAR. *TR

FUEL GAUGE WORKING ERRATICALLY. CURRENTLY THE GAUGE IS PAST THE FULL MARK, EVEN THOUGH THE GAS TANK SHOULD HALF FULL. *TR

WAS TRYING TO GET CAR THROUGH INSPECTION BUT COULDN'T GET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND FUEL LIGHT OFF. I EXPLAINED TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID YOU NEED A NEW FUEL PUMP. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND WHEN HE PUT THE CAR ON THE LIFT HE SAID THE FRAME IS TOTALLY RUSTED OUT AND THE CAR SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD. I THEN CALLED ISUZU AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT. THEY GAVE ME THE NAME OF A DEALER NEAR ME THEY SAID THE CAR CAN NOT BE FIXED. THEY SAID IF THE CAR IS HIT FROM BEHIND IT WOULD JUST FOLD OR THE SUSPENSION WILL JUST GIVE OUT AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. ITS BEEN TWO WEEKS AND I'M GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM THE DEALER AND ISUZU. I AM NOW OUT OF A CAR. IF THE GAS GAUGE DIDN'T BREAK I WOULD NOT HAVE EVEN KNOWN ABOUT THIS AND COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE ON THE ROAD. ISUZU SHOULD BE STANDING BEHIND THESE CARS!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 ISUZU RODEO SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AREA WHERE THE REINFORCEMENT BRACKETS WERE ATTACHED TO THE FRAME WAS CORRODED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V436000 (SUSPENSION). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,899 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

MY CAR HAS SMELLED OF GAS AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS A FRACTURE IN MY FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE 7 PASSENGER ASCENDER BUT THEY ARE DOING NOTHING WITH THE 5 PASSENGER ASCENDER THOUGH IT IS THE EXACT SAME PART THAT IS FAULTY. I HAVE CONTACTED ISUZU AND AM TAKING INTO THEIR SERVICE CENTER BUT I WANT THIS COMPLAINT ON RECORD IN CASE SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN SUCH AS MY CAR EXPLODING. THE FUMES INSIDE THE CAR ARE SO NOXIOUS THEY ARE MAKING ME SICK AND I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES HR IN 820 I EXITED RIGHT ON THE WEATHERFORD EXIT AND WHILE IN THE TURN THE BD SIDE TIREBLEW OUT AN THE TREAD HAD COME OFF CAUSING MY CAR TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL AND GO DOWN AN EMBANKMENT IN WHICH WE ALMOST FLIPPED MY CAR BEFORE WE COULD GET IT STOPPED IN WHICH IT CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

ERODING FRAME UNDERNEATH CAR. MY CAR SHAKES AND SQUEAKS HORRIBLY! MY CAR IS SO BADLY RUSTED THAT I HAVE HOLES AND I CAN SEE THROUGH THE CAR UNDERNEATH! *TR

FRAME IS EXTREMELY CORRODED BEHIND THE REAR AXLE. SO EXTENSIVE THAT I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT. I HAD IT TOWED TO ISUZU REPAIR SHOP OVER A YEAR AGO UNDER THE RECALL. THEY SPRAYED THE CONTROL ARMS IN FRONT OF THE REAR AXLE WITH A RUST INHIBITOR. AT THAT TIME I ASKED ABOUT THE REAR OF THE FRAME AS IT HAD MANY HOLES IN IT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED. I TOOK THE SPARE TIRE OFF TO CHANGE A TIRE THE OTHER DAY AND LOOKING UP I NOTICED THAT THE FRAME IS LITERALLY MISSING IN THE REAR ON BOTH SIDES. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS HOLDING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE ON. *TR
