Isuzu Axiom Structure Frame And Members Safety Report | July 14, 2009
Reported on July 14, 2009
| 2002 ISUZU AXIOM. DRIVER'S SIDE TRACTION BAR (CONNECTS TO REAR AXLE) COMPLETELY RUSTED OFF OF THE FRAME. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION, THE ENTIRE FRAME IS SEVERELY RUSTED. THE REST OF THE VEHICLE IS IN VERY GOOD/GOOD CONDITION. LUCKILY, THE BREAK HAPPENED WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, SO NO ONE WAS HURT. IF IT HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD. VEHICLE IS UNUSABLE UNLESS THE ENTIRE FRAME IS REPLACED. I HAD A MECHANIC/WELDER LOOK AT IT, AND HE SAID THERE IS NO WAY HE WOULD TRY TO REPAIR IT. THERE JUST ISN'T ENOUGH GOOD METAL TO WELD TO. HOPEFULLY, INSURANCE WILL PAY FOR REPAIR (WHICH I DOUBT) OR TOTAL THE VEHICLE. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A LARGE PROBLEM FOR 2002 AXIOMS. *TR | |
