1998 ISUZU RODEO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REAR SUSPENSION BRACKET CORROSION RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SHE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2011 FROM ISUZU FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF A POSSIBLE CORROSION ISSUE AT THE REAR SUSPENSION BRACKET. IN NOVEMBER 2011, THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION TO PERFORMED. THE REPAIR FACILITY SPRAYED AN ANTI- CORROSION AS A FIX. ON JANUARY 12, 2013, THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. AT THAT TIME, SHE WAS INFORMED THERE WAS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS CONDITION. THE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THE REAR STABILIZER FRAME MOUNT WAS DESTROYED AND THE FRAME WAS RUSTED OUT. THE TECHNICIAN SUGGESTED THE CONSUMER SEEK AN EVALUATION FROM ANOTHER REPAIR FACILITY. THE CONSUMER WENT TO ANOTHER FACILITY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. THE TECHNICIAN FOUND THE REAR LATERAL LINK FOR THE REAR AXLE MOUNT HAD ROTTED AWAY, MAKING THE REAR UNSTABLE. THEY ALSO STATED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ROAD WORTHY. IN THE TECHNICIAN'S OPINION, THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED, AS A RESULT OF THE CORROSION OF THE FRAME. THE CONSUMER CALLED ISUZU AND THEY ADVISED HER TO RETURN TO THE REPAIR FACILITY FOR ANOTHER EVALUATION. THE REPAIR SHOP EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AGAIN. THE REPAIR FACILITY LISTED ON THE INVOICE AS THE LATERAL LINK BEING BROKEN, WHICH WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE AREA THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY SPRAYED, WAS STILL IN GOOD CONDITION.

I HAVE A 2004 ISUZU ASCENDER. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO A DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR HAD A FUEL THANK INLET FRACTURE. A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS RELEASED BUT NO RECALL. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW, IT WILL COST ME $2178.33 +TAX TO HAVE IT REPAIRED.AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK THAT SOMETHING SHOULD B DONE ABOUT THIS. I CONTACTED AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND MY CAR IS NOT IN THE RECALL MODELS. I THINK THAT THIS A MANUFACTURE' PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BEOFRE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS

TODAY WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY. MY ISUZU RODEO STARTED TO SWAY ON THE HIGHWAY. AND WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS THE REAR END BEGAN CLUNKING AS IT SLOWED. IT FEELS LIKE IM TOWING DEAD WEIGHT. I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND IT WAS SMOKING UNDER THE REAR END. ITS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THERE IS SOMETHING MAJOR WRONG WITH THE REAR END OF THE CAR. I BRING MY CAR IN EVERY 2 1/2 MONTHS SINCE I TRAVEL ALOT, TO GET CHECKED UP AND THE OIL CHANGED. I HAVE NOT HAD AND ISSUE AND IF I DID I WOULD FIX THEM. AFTER READING THE STORIES ONLINE ABOUT THE REAR END RECALL I FEEL I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. AT THE MOMENT I HAVE NO CAR AND IM STUCK AT WORK. AND NEED INFO HOW TO GET MY CAR RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. SINCE ITS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

ON APPROXIMATELY 2/8/13 I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WHEN I WENT TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND ONTO AN EXIT ( TO GET OFF OF THE HIGHWAY.) I PRESSED THE BRAKES,AND THE BRAKES AND STEERING LOCKED UP , I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY SUV AS IT HIT THE JERSEY BARRIER. THE RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT AND FENDER HIT 1ST THEN THE RIGHT REAR SIDE AND BACK FENDER SCRAPED AGAINST THE BARRIER. I WAS SEAT BELTED ALTHOUGH STILL RECEIVED INJURIES OF MY LEFT ANKLE, KNEE, NECK AND BACK. THE BODY SHOP INSURANCE ADJUSTER SAID IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. SINCE 2006 MY ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND WHEN TAKING TO REPAIR SHOPS THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY SUV AND MADE THE ENGINE LIGHT SOMEHOW GO OFF. I HAVE WRITTEN TO THE AMERICAN ISUZU CO OVER THE PAST 6 OR 7 YRS ALTHOUGH HAVE NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THEM IN REGARDS TO THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON FROM 2006 UNTIL 2/8/13. *TR

WE OWN A 2001 ISUZU RODEO WITH 144000 MILES ON IT. WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR EXCESSIVE RUST ON REAR SUSPENSION. WE HAD THE ISUZU DEALER COMPLETE THE RECALL WORK OF INSTALLING STABILIZER BRACKETS, IS WAS DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF RUST. HOWEVER, WE WERE NEVER INFORMED OF ANY ADDITIONAL RUST THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE FRAME IN THE FRONT AND BACK. TODAY, WE HAD THE RODEO IN TO HAVE A NEW STARTER PUT IN AND THE MECHANIC TELL US THAT THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS MY SON'S CAR AND HE IS IN COLLEGE AND DOES NOT HAVE A WAY OF GETTING TO CLASS, ANY LONGER. *TR

HAVE OWN OUR ISUZE RODEO FOR FOUR YEARS. WE RECEIVED THE RUST RECALL BACK IN 2010 AND HAD THE RECALL WORK PERFORMED. THE ISUZE DEALER INSTALLED THE STABILIZING BRACKETS ON THE REAR SUSPENSION, DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF RUST. NOW, TODAY AS I AM PAYING A MECHANIC FOR A NEW STARTER, HE INFORMS ME THE THERE ARE LARGE HOLES IN THE FRONT AND BACK PART OF THE FRAME. HE ALSO SAID IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE ISUZE DEALER NEVER TOLD US ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE RUST ON THE VEHICLE WHEN THE RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED.THIS IS MY KIDS CAR AND I WON'T ALOW THEM TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE. *TR
