ISUZU Complaints

2001 ISUZU RODEO THE FRAME RUSTED CAUSING THE REAR SUSPENSION TO FALL OFF DURING DRIVING. THE VEHICLE THEN SWERVED OUT OF CONTROL. LUCKILY DUE TO MYEMERGENCY VEHICLE DRIVER TRAINING I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AND ACCIDENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I HAVE PICTURES OF FAULTY FRAME AND SUSPENSION CONNECTION. *TR

I OWN A 2001 ISUZU RODEO. I HAVE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE, IT IS ROTTING AWAY. THE FRAME CRACKED IN LATE 2008 AND HAD TO BE REPAIRED, WITH A COST TO ME. WHEN THE FRAME BROKE THE CAR WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, WHICH PUTS PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MY REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS WELDED AT MY EXPENSE. THAT HAS COMPROMISED THE STRENGTH OF THE FRAME. IT SINCE HAS NEEDED TO BE WELDED AN ADDITIONAL TIME, THE MOST RECENT, LAST MONTH. MY CAR REPAIRMAN HAS STATED THAT THIS FRAME WILL NEED TO BE WELDED ONCE AGAIN IN THE NEAR FUTURE AS THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER WEAK AREAS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH SPECIFIC MODEL YEARS OF THE ISUZU RODEO. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO THE LOCAL POOL ON JULY 4TH WEEKEND IN MY 2002 ISUZU RODEO I NOTICED WHEN I CAME TO A STOP THAT I FELT MOVEMENT IN THE REAR OF THE CAR THAT I THOUGHT WAS COMING FROM THE REAR END. CONTINUING DOWN THE ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD THIS SCRAPING NOISE AND STARTED TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE THE CAR SEEMED TO BE PULLING ME OFF THE ROAD. THE SCRAPING NOISE WAS THE REAR TIRE RUBBING IN THE WHEEL WELL. CALLED MY FRIEND TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION IT WAS REVEALED THAT THE CONTROL ARM FOR THE REAR END HAD BROKEN OFF THE FRAME. THE BRACKET THAT THE CONTROL ARM BOLTS TO HAD RUSTED OFF THE FRAME. THE FRAME IS RUSTY ALL IN THAT AREA. *TR
