ISUZU Complaints

I OWN A 2000 ISUZU VEHI CROSS THE FRAME IS RUSTING OUT. I BOUGHT IT IN 1997 IT HAD 91,051 MILES THE SAME MATERIALS AS THE RODEO WERE USED I WANT TO BE REIMBURSED FOE THE VALUE OF THE CAR AS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

I OWN A 1998 ISUZU RODEO AND THE REAR FRAME ALSO ROTTED TO THE POINT WARE THE REAR SPRING SUPPORT AND A CROSSMEMBER ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY ROTTED OFF ALSO THE LEFT REAR SHOCK SUPPORT COMPLETELY BECAME DETACHED FROM FRAME. *TR

THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR FELL OUT ON MY 2001 ISUZU RODEO WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. THE CAR TILTED TO THE RIGHT, IT FELT LIKE THE TIRES FELL OFF THE CAR. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. HE THEN INSPECTED THE CAR AND TOLD ME THAT WHOLE BOTTOM OF THE CAR WAS ROTTED OUT, AND IT WAS NOT FIXABLE. *TR

CAR HAS 89,000 MILES ON IT AND HAD TO GET TRANSMISSION REBUILT. OBVIOUSLY A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG OWNERS. $2500 LATER AND IT STILL DOESN'T DRIVE RIGHT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH I HEARD A LOUD POP FROM THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. I IMMEDIATELY LOST CONTROL, AND THE TRUCK SWERVED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT WAS LIKE IT HAD A MIND OF IT'S OWN. I FOUGHT THE TRUCK BACK INTO MY LANE AT WHICH POINT IT APPEARED TO COME UP ON 2 WHEELS (AND IT FELT LIKE IT ALSO), I WAS ABLE TO GET STOPPED AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT COLLISION. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND THAT THE VEHICLES FRAME RUSTED CLEAN THROUGH AND BROKE, THE REAR AXLE STABILIZER ARM ALSO DROPPED OFF FRAME, CAUSING THE REAR TIRES TO LOSE ANY DIRECTION THEY HAD AND WOBBLE FREELY IN THE WHEEL WELL. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS, OR EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. ONCE WAS ENOUGH. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY SEVERAL FRAME AND BODY SPECIALISTS, EVEN BOILERMAKERS, ALL WITH THE SAME RESULT, AND THE SAME ANSWER, NO. THEY SAY THE TRUCK IS TOTALED, AND REFUSE TO WORK ON IT BECAUSE OF LIABILITY ISSUES. THE BODY AND INTERIOR ARE IN PERFECT SHAPE, 143K MILES, FULL TANK OF GAS, LICENSED THROUGH NEXT AUGUST, INSURED THROUGH APRIL, PARKED FOR GOOD. THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS, WHAT IS CLEARLY A FLAWED DESIGN, AND MANUFACTURER SHORTCOMING. PROMPT ATTENTION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED, AND NECESSARY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 ISUZU RODEO LS AND I WAS DRIVING 30MPH AND ALMOST HIT SEVERAL CARS. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE RODE. THE REAR FRAME NEAR MY REAR AXLE WAS CRACKED DUE TO CORROSION AND I AM TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE REAR AXLE STABILIZER ARM RIPPED OFF OF THE FRAME DUE TO THE CORROSION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 ISUZU RODEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR STABILIZER BAR FRACTURED WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 35 MPH. THE REAR STABILIZER BAR FRACTURED DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST OF THE FRAME. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO ASSIST. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY NINE YEARS OLD AND RUST SHOULD NOT EXHIBIT ON THE VEHICLE AT THAT AGE. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE VEHICLE WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE COST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 ISUZU RODEO SPORT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRAME UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WAS COVERED WITH RUST AND THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,910.

VEHICLE FRAME RUSTED OUT. NO EVENTS LEAD UP TO FAILURE. PROBLEM DETECTED WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS SWAYING. PULLED OVER AND SAW THAT REAR AXLE MOUNT WAS DETACHED FROM VEHICLE. HAD TO BRING TO PROFESSIONAL WELDER. REPAIR COST IN THOUSANDS. NO GUARANTEES OF HOW LONG IT WILL LAST AS ANOTHER FAILURE IS GUARANTEED. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY MANUFACTURE. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 RODEO WITH JUST 75,000 THAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD NOT TO DRIVE DUE TO ROT ON ALL OF THE FRAME RAILS. I CAN PUT MY FINGERS THROUGH THE HOLES WHERE METAL SHOULD BE HOLDING MY TRUCK TOGETHER. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BY ISUZU LIKE THE ONE FROM TOYOTA WHERE CONSUMERS ARE REIMBURSED IN CASH FOR THE LOSS OF THEIR VEHICLES.. *TR
