2001 Isuzu Rodeo Steering Problems

“I started to pull away from the curb and heard a screeching noise and the rear end of my car began to sway back and forth. I pulled back up to curb and looked under rear of car. I saw cracked, rusted frame and a broken stabilizer bar.”

“We own a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo with 144000 miles on it. We received a recall notice for excessive rust on rear suspension. We had the Isuzu dealer complete the recall work of installing stabilizer brackets, is was due to the excessive amount of rust. However, we were never informed of any additional rust throughout the rest of the frame in the front and back. Today, we had the Rodeo in to have a new starter put in and the mechanic tell us that the car is not safe to drive. This is my son's car and he is in college and does not have a way of getting to class, any longer.”

“Fuel delivery went out killing vehicle. Frame completely rusted rear links completely gone. Engine randomly loses power. While traveling to work vehicle began to sway, started ticking then engine shut off. Won't start. Battery tests good alternator just replaced a week ago. 2001 3.2l Rodeo”

“Steering makes strange vibrating noise when turning left can turn wheel all the way right will not make noise but will make noise turning all the way back to left they have replaced rack and pinion and power steering pump no change noise is getting louder they still have no idea even after factory rep look at it severl times”

“Engine will stall when consumer pulls into parking lot in facility where he works . Consumer feels that reason for this defect may be that engine is not shielded against sources of radio frequency energy which could shut engine down. There is loss of steering control when engine shuts down. Consumer works at long range radar site. Engine is a 3.2 v6. Consumer states engine shuts down and will n ot restat until the vehicle is moved away from rf energy source, consumer has been told by dealer that the problem is being worked on.”
