| Was driving w/my handicapped daughter when the car swayed front one way back the other heard a terriible scraping noise thought i had a flat tire ,looked tires were fine looked under the car and the fram right near the gas tank broke and is complely rusted i looked and there are at least 20 complaints and isuzu does nothing about it , i think this is outrages as there could have been a fire an my daughter could have be burnt before i could get her out i don't know why the company is not held responsible and recalls are not demanded. i think that you have an obligation to do something about this condition, isuzu knowns about it as they have a 12 month warranty on corusion knowing that it won't happen that soon. i also would like to know if you intend to do somethin about this before there is some horrible accident. i now have no transportation for my child and will not have momey for a new car or a used one and i live in the country w/no transportation and have to depend on other people for dr's appt. and shopping, trips to the drug store .i find all this very unfare to everyone that owns an isuzu!!!!!! | |||

| Hello, my 2000 isuzu rodeo was getting repaired this weekend and the mechanic told me the frame of the car was severely rusted and damaged. he said there was a recall last year on the make and model of my car. i did not receive a recall notice and therefore missed the deadline to submit my car for repair on the recall. after searching online it appears there are many isuzu that 1. do not know about this recall or 2. missed the deadline like i did. if these cars and this damage is as severe as it sounds like there should not be a deadline on this recall. all cars should be taken off the road. i called isuzu and they said there is nothing they can do for me. i have lived in north carolina for the last year but for the first 11 years i had this car it was in chicago, il. *tr | |||

| I have a 2000 isuzu rodeo, i was online looking for a part to replace when i stumbled upon the newest recall of the rear mounting brackets rusting off of the frame. i immediately brought my car to the closest isuzu service center without the recall letter that i am supposed to get from isuzu, yet still havent. the dealer brought my car in and within a 30min it was back out in the parking lot. the desk manager said i need a stage 4 repair for the brackets but then told me they would call when they had the availability; they said it would at least two months before they could fit me in! i asked if it was safe to drive and the guy simply said it should be alright, what kind of response is that. i took it to my mechanic who then put it up on the lift and the whole vehicle frame is rusted! there is no way new brackets are going to make anything better. pieces of frame are just falling off my truck. this is a huge safety issue and needs to be fixed, just replacing the mounting brackets is absolutely pointless and doesn't address the real issue being the whole frame's defectiveness. | |||

| My 2000 isuzu rodeo went in to have some work done on it, simple maintenance. the certified mechanic took a look under the car and immediately informed me that he refused to put my car up on his lift to do work on it because of the immense amount of rust on the frame of the car. he was afraid that if he lifted my car it would fall apart while on the lift and destroy half of his shop. he then also informed me that the car was completely unfit to be driven on the road. after hearing this i went online and found that this seems to be a pretty common problem for isuzu rodeo and honda passports built between 1997-2001. | |||

| The events leading up to the failure are simple. leaving our driveway and within two tenths of a mile there was a rear suspension lower link failure on our isuzu rodeo just as described in nhtsa action pe09030. here are the actions / moments leading up to the failure. we simply gathered in our rodeo. pulled from our driveway on to a rural country road. single lane and traveling a speed of approximately 10mph (luckily). it is on this road and with in two tenths of a mile from leaving our home the failure occurred. there was no warning whatsoever. when the failure occurred there was a loss of control, the rear end of the vehicle began swerving from left to right in a track about 3 feet from the original line of travel. because we were not yet on a major highway, stopping the vehicle was no problem and there was no crash, however, we can't bare the thoughts of what it could have been if we had been traveling at highway speeds. again, luckily we were very close to home. towing the vehicle was not necessary as we were able to slowly back the vehicle in reverse to our home at nothing more than an idling speed. the nature of the failure is the left rear suspension bar breaking from the frame of the vehicle. there has been no repair attempted as the frame is in no condition to remount the suspension bar. after this incident we have looked more at the condition of frame on this vehicle. there are other places on the frame were there is total rust through. because of the incident and because of what we are now seeing we deem the frame unsafe. *tr | |||

| Lost control of vehicle with no warning on the freeway during rush hour .. general motors / isuzu / honda recall said it is the bracket detaching from the frame . it is not . the bracket pulled a piece of frame from my vehicle . the frames of these vehicles are the problem not the bracket . the bracket is in excellent condition as well as the weld to the piece of frame which was tore from the rest of the frame . these frames are collapsing , rusting out far before their time . nhtsa & transport canada both need to open an new investigation into the frames of these vehicles & what's in them , production & testing of the frames . general motors also did not offer me a fair price for my vehicle and treated me in a terrible manner . it is still not resolved after 1 year & 4 months , nothing has been resolved !!! nhtsa & transport canada need to investigate these frames ! *tr | |||
