| 2 days after leaving gatlinburg,tennessee to booneville ky the bracket that holds rear end broke away from frame on drivers side almost causing a bad accident. caused steering and handling to be uncontrollable. luckily we were only going 30 mph at time. if it would have happened coming back from tenn on interstate [i drove 95mph home]me and my children would most likely not survived. isuzu stated that in fact there was a recall in 2010 but i needed to contact them then. i gave 3500 for this truck on october 21,2010 and was never notified of any safety issues. truck has great body,clean interior, no oil anywhere on engine, looks as good as new. never would think the frame was almost rusted into on in. from bracket infront of rear tire thru till behind front tire is rusted beyond repair. i had just purchased 425.00 new tires and put on it. now its a total loss. *tr | |||

| I purchased this vehicle in october of 2010. the vehicle is currently financed at my bank. i took it to francis scott key in fredrick maryland for the recall of the forwarding mounting point bracket of the left and right rear suspension lower link for corrosion of this. on the 19th of august, 2011 i took it to have the safety recall done @ francis scott key told me they only done what the recall was for, exposure of highly corrosive material that is used in some jurisdictions for deicing prupose which affected the frowarding mounting point bracket for the left or right rear suspension lower link prior to the time that such corrosion would normally be expected. my vehicle has bad corrosion and rust on the front of the suspension and i know of others who have the same model and year of mine and have had the same trouble. i am like totaly confused as this should be taken care of also because i am believing this shouldnt be in this condition as this shouldnt have normally been in this condition for this year of car. i am taking care of this form due to the shape that the front of the vehicle is in , it is really bad up there. have you had any other reports of this? i considered getting another vehicle but can not afford to do this as this vehicle is financed.i feel isuzu shoud be recalling this vehicle as they done the in the rear suspension and should be also taking care of the front also as this is very serious to the safety of me and others riding in my vehicle and also other drivers. i am surprised that isuzu hasnt done a recall for this problem as it is a really bad safety situation... i feel this matter needs direct attention if possible. thanks so very much for your time. darla k. palko | |||

| Like many other isuzu rodeo owners mine is rusting prematurely underneath. i took it to the shop for the recall on the frame. the shop installed the recall rear brackets and told me the vehicle was still unsafe as much of the rest of the frame and under carriage of the vehicle was rotting out. is someone going to have to be seriously hurt in an accident before isuzu is forced to address this problem? | |||
