Isuzu Rodeo Sport Suspension Rear Safety Report | May 03, 2011
Reported on May 03, 2011
| I HAVE A 2002 ISUZU RODEO SPORT AS I WAS DRIVING DONE THE ROAD IT SUDDUNLY DARTED ACROSS THE CENTER LINE INTO THE OTHER LANE. I SLOWED THE VEHICLE AND GOT BACK IN MY LANE BUT EVERYTIME I WOUD TRY TO SPEED UP IT WOULD DART TO THE SIDE. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THE THE REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK BRACKET HAD BECOME DETACHED. I HAD IT HAULED TO A MACHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE FRAME AT THE POINT WERE THE BRACKET ATTACHED WAS RUSTED THROUGH BUT HE BELEIVED THERE WAS A SAFETY RECAL FOR THIS. I FOUND ONLINE (NHTSA 10V436000) FOR THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED 1-800-255-6727 AS IT STATED TO DO AND GAVE THEM MY VIN# AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY ONLY HAD TO COVER THE 4 DOOR MODELS NOT THE 2 DOOR SPORTS. THIS VEHICLE IS THE SAME FRAME AND IS RUSTED INTO THEY TOLD ME NOT THERE PROBLEM. IT IS UN-SAFE TO DRIVE AND THE 2 DOORS NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL THEY HAVE THE SAME FRAME. THE PEOPLE AT ISUZU MADE IT VERY CLEAR TO ME THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE 2 DOORS EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT IS UN-SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR | |
