ISUZU Complaints

2001 ISUZU RODEO FRAME IS RUSTED OUT BADLY SEEMS LIKE ISUZU NEEDS TO FIX OR BUY BACK THE SUVS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM THIS,SOMETHING NEEDS DONE VERY SOON. *TR

1998 ISUZU RODEO WITH 66,000 MILES THAT HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS WAS TAKEN FOR INSPECTION IN JUNE 1, 2010. MECHANIC STATED CAR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS DUE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE RUSTING AWAY FROM THE FRAME. I WAS SHOCKED. I DID HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION SUPPORT DUE TO RUST AT A COST OF OVER $400. I HAVE CHILDREN WHO COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT IF AN ACCIDENT HAD OCCURRED. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE MY VEHICLE RIGHT NOW. ISUZU, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

DRIVING FROM THE PITTSBURGH AIRPORT PARKING LOT ON A SIDE ROAD. APPROXIMATELY 2 MIN AFTER DRIVING THE CAR IMMEDIATELY LOST CONTROL - NO STEERING OR BRAKES. IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE CAR VEERED ACROSS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD I MANAGED TO MISS ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND JUST MISSED GOING DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. BEFORE COMING TO A STOP THERE WAS A 'POPPING' NOISE FROM THE CAR. UPON LOOKING UNDER THE CAR ONE OF THE MEMBERS HAS SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME THE CAR WAS THEN TOWED TO THE ISUZU AGENCY IN WEXFORD, PITTSBURGH UPON INSPECTION THE CAR WAS DEEMED 'DANGEROUS' AND BEYOND REPAIR AS THE CAR NEEDED A NEW FRAME DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST. THE CAR REMAINS AT THE ISUZU AGENCY WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION DUE TO THE DANGEROUS NATURE OF THE DAMAGE - WHICH I CAN CERTAINLY ADVOCATE THE REST OF THE CAR HAS BEEN EXTREMELY WELL MAINTAINED AND WE ENVISIONED MANY MORE YEARS OF CAREFUL DRIVING THIS MANUFACTURING ERROR SHOULD BE RECTIFIED BEFORE SOMEONE IS EITHER BADLY INJURED OR INDEED KILLED BY THIS INFERIOR DESIGN. *TR

I OWN A 2001 ISUZU RODEO WITH ONLY 134,000 MILES ON IT ... ENGINE IS PERFECTLY FINE, NOTHING WRONG AT ALL. ALL OF A SUDDEN, I'M DRIVING BACK FROM THE PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN WESTERN PA TO MY RESIDENCE ABOUT 45 MILES AWAY ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY WITH ABOUT 5 VERY CLOSE FRIENDS IN THE CAR, AND THE CONTROL ARM ON THE REAR LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY RUSTED-OFF ... WE'RE LUCKY THAT I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 30 MPH AS WE WERE JUST EXISTING THE AIRPORT PREMISES AND NOT ON THE SPEED LIMIT 55 HIGHWAY YET. EVEN GOING ONLY 20 - 30 MPH, I COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND EVERYONE IN THE CAR WAS VERY SCARED ... IT WAS AS THOUGH I WAS DRIVING ON SHEETS OF ICE MEANWHILE IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER! I WEAVED IN AND OUT OF LANES OF SLOW-MOVING TRAFFIC (THANK GOD) AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND LIMP MY WAY GOING 5-10 MPH TO THE NEAREST EXIT, CALL A TOW TRUCK, SPEND $200 TO HAVE IT TOWED TO ONLY FIND OUT IT NEEDED TO BE TRASHED AS THE WHOLE ENTIRE SUSPENSION/UNDERCARRIAGE/FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED! THE VEHICLE IS NOT A FLOOD CAR! HOWEVER, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH IT IS IN WORSE SHAPE THAN THE TITANIC AFTER SITTING IN SALT WATER AT THE BOTTOM OF AN OCEAN FOR DECADES! THE CONTROL ARM COMPLETELY RUSTED OFF THE FRAME AND AFTER EXAMINING THE OTHER SIDE'S CONTROL ARM, WITH ONE MINOR KICK OR PULL THAT ONE IS READY TO PULL OFF AS WELL! IT'S HANGING ON BY A SMALL TINY PIECE OF METAL THAT'S NOT COMPLETELY RUSTED OFF. WITH A KICK IT'LL FALL RIGHT OFF, TOO. THE CAR IS NOW WORTHLESS AND I HAVE NOWHERE TO TURN, NO TRANSPORTATION AND I CAN'T GET ANY MONEY TO SELL A CAR WITH NO FRAME! IT'S UNBELIEVABLE THAT A CAR ONLY 9 YEARS OLD CAN RUST LIKE IT'S 100 YEARS OLD. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED AND NEED SOME ASSISTANCE AND JUSTICE. THANK YOU. *TR
