| I was driving vehicle on state route. began hearing what sounded like small rocks or cinders. nonw on the road though. then the car started to sway some as i went around a turn. i pulled over and looked under vehicle and found my right rear sway bar bracket had rusted through and the bar was hanging on that side tried to weld a piece of metal to frame to make a new bracket and discovered the frame is also rusted through in places. my car is unsafe to drive now and is basically totaled. i have no other vehicle to drive. called isuzu and was informed it was my problem not theirs. | |||

| Well on march 16 2012 we were driving our isuzu. rodeo on the highway going 55 mph. we then heard a popping noise and the rear of the vehicle started bouncing so we took the vehicle to a local repair shop when they said the frame was rotted out and that the shocks were. hanging their and the springs mounts had rusted off and the springs were sitting on the cargo area floor board and so a few days later we called isuzu. and they said we had to have the vehicle to one of their repair shops by the next day or they wouldn't do anything about it and we did not have money to have the vehicle towed to them and it was unsafe to drive, so in april we took the isuzu to a body shop locally and he stated the same thing as the first garage but that if we invested $2000 into a new frame it would be good as new and since we haven't had the vehicle fixed due to we dont have the money and we haven't even paid the vehicle off yet, and the major problem is isuzu wont do anything about the problem and the recall was only for the sway bar, and the whole frame is damaged | |||

| October 17, 2011, i took my rodeo to, have it serviced for the suspension:rear recall. after service the mechanics inspection report noted that: frame corroded badly, r/f hub loose, rear shock hanging, frame rotted thru and that the front c/v joint had rusted off. the service department, did not advise me to drive the car home, as it was a safety issue. over the years i have had the exhaust repaired, a number of times due to rust. this vehicle has never been off-road, and has only been used as transportation to work(all highway driving). | |||

| I have a 1998 isuzu rodeo that was issued a recall for excessive corrosion on the rear lower link. this is not the only related problem. the rear section of the vehicle frame is rotting out as well. my rodeo has 80,000 miles and has absolutely zero body rust, yet the frame is experiencing excessive frame rot. a conversation with isuzu has lead nowhere. this could can be equally as dangerous because isuzu's remedy for the recall is to install a larger bracket over the original bracket, which is to be attached to an already deteriorating vehicle frame. | |||

| Immense amount of frame rust that has basically made the vehicle useless way before the end of its useful life. has eaten away at the critical parts of the frame that has made it very unsafe and unusable to me. had to get a new car as a result and now waiting to see what is going to be done if anything about truck. would like to see the the frame fixed and the manufacture take responsibility for these malfunctions before someone gets killed or seriously injured! | |||
