Isuzu Axiom Structure Frame And Members Safety Report | Apr 03, 2010
Reported on Apr 03, 2010
| I HAVE A 2002 ISUZU AXIOM MILEAGE 101,000.. WHILE DRIVING I HIT A POT HOLE - THE FAMILY HEARD A WEIRD SOUND. WE PULLED OVER AND NOTICED THE PASSENGER REAR CONTROL ARM HAD BROKEN AWAY FROM THE FRAME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A WELDING SHOP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THE WELDING SHOP CALLED ME AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN THE AIR THAT THE FRAME WAS TOTALLY ROTTED AWAY.. SOME PLACES OF THE FRAME YOU CAN PUT YOUR HAND THRU THE BOTTOM AND SOME PLACES THRU THE TOP OF THE FRAME. THERE ARE OTHER PLACES THAT CAN NOT BE REPAIRED DO TO SIDE ROT OF THE FRAME.. THE WELD SHOP INFORMED ME THE AXIOM CAN NOT BE REPAIRED AND CAN NOT PASS INSPECTION. I LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND THE ODI REPORTS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS - SO HERE IS MY REPORT. THE REST OF THE AXIOM IS PERFECT NO RUST ON THE BODY AND ENGINE RUNS PERFECT. AT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE HAS A INSURANCE VALUE OF $6,700 PER AN INSURANCE ADJUSTOR, BUT INSURANCE WONT COVER IT. SO IM OUT A VEHICLE THANKS TO A COMPANY USING INFERIOR METAL FOR A FRAME. THANK GOD I WASN'T DRIVING FAST AND DIDN'T HAVE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT CAUSED THE LIFE OF A FAMILY MEMBER OR SOMEONE ELSE. *TR | |
