“The suspension on my Isuzu Rodeo 2000 broke because of the corrosive frame underneath and it seems as if the metal used for the frame and suspension is part of a recall from what I'm seeing all over the internet so I ended up calling the deal ship and they want to do nothing for me and they tell me there are no active recalls at this time which makes absolutely no sense to me because the issue that I'm seeing with the recall just happen to me.”
NHTSA complaint #10662221, filed 2014-12, 101,000 miles“I was driving down a local road (approximate speed 40mph). After hitting an average bump in the road the vehicle went out of control. It thrashed side to side several times before crashing into a ditch and landing onto its side. I had no explanation for the cause of the crash. However, when the tow truck arrived he showed us a large rusted out part that was hanging down in front of the drivers side rear wheel (I took pictures as well as the police).”
NHTSA complaint #10335390, filed 2010-06, 89,900 miles“While driving aprox 40 MPH lost control of vehicle, got to the side of road and proceeded aprox 1-2 miles to local mechanic driving 5mph on the side of the road. Mechanic looked at vehicle and stated the entire rear of vehicle was rusted so bad that it was actually completely broke through on one side and the other side was about to brake through as well. He stated it could not be repair and said if I had been driving 65 miles an hour I could have been killed.”
NHTSA complaint #10365789, filed 2010-11, 132,765 miles“Isuzu is not honoring it's recalls. I bought a used Isuzu Rodeo when I called Isuzu in order to do the recalls they said my car had no recalls on filed based on my VIN#. Since that call my rear bracket suspension has corroded and detached from the vehicle frame which could of killed me. According to the recall it says a vehicle older than 10 years will be repaired for free only if it is brought to an Isuzu or honda dealer within 12 months of notification . Well I've never been notified of anything and Isuzu is refusing to do repairs. …”
