| I took my isuzu to a dealer last summer for a nationwide recall due to premature frame rusting. i was told there are several categories that they could put a vehicle into as far as the amount of rust was conserned. after an inspection, i was put into the worst category that involved fixing. any further rust, i was told, means the vehicle would have been junked. they ended up replacing a few suspension parts and installing two large metal brakcets to reinforce the frame. ever since the work, the car has made strange creaking noises. i've cralwed under the car several times and cannot indentify the source of the noises. last week, while driving, a large piece of the frame rusted through and fell off. tiday, i ttok it to a local shop for a break noise (unrelated to the frame.) they called me a short time later and told me the frame was not safe to drive in their opinion. i called the isuzu dealer that did the warranty work. they said there is nothing further they can do as far as the warranty goes. i find it odd that they put a bandaid on a rusting frame only to have it get worse a year later and refuse to fix it. | |||

| My 1999 isuzu rodeo was kept by a dealership service center after the recall determined that it was unsafe to drive due to heavy frame corrosion. i know the vehicle to be worth $2500-$3500 but isuzu only wishes to offer me 1600 which is what i paid for it and far less than what the previous owner was asking. i have been without a vehicle since then and am somewhat insulted by the low offer and slow speed in which this deal is taking place. they call from unknown numbers use holidays as an excuse for slow work. i don't want some huge unreasonable amount of money, or even retail. i believe actual cash value based on similar models sold near to my geographic area. i believe isuzu is simply trying to move things along and not trying to use good business practices. i will be consulting attorneys to see if i have any other options. | |||

| We have a 1999 isuzu rodeo my daughter was driving at about 25 mph during the rain when she gently applied the brakes, she heard a noise the rodeo began sliding causing an impact which resulted in an accident. various other times we would be driving and especially during wet road conditions the brakes made a noise causing the tires to rotate prematurely in an uncontrollable sliding motion.in 2011 we took our rodeo in on recall no. 10v-436, (excessive corrosion may result in the left or right rear suspension lower link bracket becoming detached from the frame, which can affect vehicle handling and potentially cause a crash.) the dealership performed the inspection which was determined that the recall should not be performed. due to excessive corrosion the reinforcement bracket remedy would not be appropriate. in order to perform this recall the body is detached from the frame and if corrosion is present on the frame this recall would only cause further damages weakening the frame making it unsafe to operate the vehicle. the frames should be recalled also! the frames also have excessive corrosion and also once a frame is compromised it's weakened! by doing this recall it dimishes the integrity of the frame anyway. therefore, this recall is not a resolution to the problems it's a bigger safety issue and puts many consumers at risk! as for isuzu providing the consumers with an appropriate remedy... this is not happening! | |||
