ISUZU Complaints

THE REAR FRAME OF MY AMIGO IS COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I JUST PURCHASE THE TRUCK IN FEB OF 2011 AND HAD BRAND NEW TIRES INSTALLED. THAT'S WHEN I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IF THIS CAN'T BE FIXED I'M OUT $4000 AND DON'T HAVE A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE. THIS WAS NOT A NICE WAY TO START MY RETIREMENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 ISUZU RODEO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ERRONEOUSLY DRIFT TO ONE SIDE. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE MOVED INTO THE SHOULDER, CRASHING INTO THE BARRIER WALL ABRUPTLY. THE CONTACT WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS AND THE CONTACT'S FOOT LANDED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AS HE LOST CONSCIOUSNESS.THE CONTACT WAS NOT AWARE AS THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

WE BOUGHT THIS 06 ACCENDER AND AT ABOUT 35,000 + MILES THE FUEL SENSOR GAVE OUT ON MY VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON . IT WILL COSTME CLOSE TO 700 DLLS TO GET FIXED. I ALSO HAVE A CO-WORKER WITH AN 06 AS WELL AND IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS I AM. *TR

PURCHASED 1999 ISUZU RODEO IN JUNE, WHEN I TOOK IT FOR INSPECTION, IT WOULDN'T PASS. TOOK THE CAR TO A WELDING/FRAME SPECIALIST TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. HE DEEMED THE CAR UNFIXABLE BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE RUST AND CORROSION. HE SAID IT WOULD NEED AN ENTIRE NEW FRAME TO MAKE IT SAFE TO DRIVE. HE LOOKED UNTIL DEC FOR AN ACCEPTABLE FRAME UNTIL HE SAID, JUST TAKE IT TO ISUZU, I CANT LOCATE THE PARTS NEEDED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO ISUZU ON DEC 29TH FOR THEM TO INFORM ME I WAS PAST THE RECALL WARRANTY DATE. I EXPLAINED MY SITUATION, AND THEY DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR IT. THESE JUNK FRAMES ARE GOING TO KILL SOMEONE, THE PROBLEM ISN'T JUST THE REAR MOUNTING BRACKET. MY ENTIRE FRAME IS ROTTED THROUGH. IN FACT, IN THE 60 MILES IT TOOK FOR MY CAR TO BE TOWED FROM THE REPAIR SHOP TO ISUZU, MY SPARE TIRE ACTUALLY FELL OFF MY RODEO BECAUSE OF THE CORROSION. THANK HEAVENS I WASN'T DRIVING IT, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS TOLD BY SOMEONE WHO WORKS FOR ISUZU THAT I NEEDED TO SEND PICTURES TO ISUZU SO THAT THEY COULD CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT I HAVE A COMPLAINT REGARDING MY 1999 ISUZU RODEO LS. I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT MY LOWER REAR SUSPENSION BRACKETS WOULD HAVE BROKEN OFF BECAUSE OF RUST IF THE REAR UPPER BRACKETS HADN'T BROKEN OFF FIRST. MY REAR SHOCKS HAVE NOWHERE TO ATTACH AND THE VEHICLE BOUNCES FREELY ON THE REAR SPRINGS. I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE IT WAS SO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE MY CAR TO CHARLESTON, WHICH IS ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY, THAT I COULD JUST TAKE SOME PICTURES OF UNDERNEATH MY CAR REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I CANNOT FIND THE PHONE # TO WHICH I WAS TO CALL TO GET THE EMAIL ADDRESS TO UPLOAD THE PICTURES I'VE TAKEN ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE REAR OF THE SUSPENSION. ALSO, I HAVE ADDED 4 INVALID LAST 4 DIGITS BECAUSE THE REMAINING NUMBERS HAVE BEEN CORRODED SOMEHOW.
