Isuzu Rodeo Power Train Axle Assembly Axle Shaft Safety Report | Jan 11, 2003
Reported on Jan 11, 2003
| THERE WAS A FEW INCIDENTS. ONE DAY MY TWO SISTERS WHERE RIDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND OUT OF NO WHERE MY TRUNK WINDOW COMPLETELY BUSTED OUT. MY SISTERS WERE TERRIFIED AND LUCKILY A COP PULLED UP. HE TOLD THEM THAT IT LOOK LIKE SOMEONE HAD PUT TINT OVER THE HEATING WIRES THAT THEY USE TO DEFROST. BEING THAT I HAD BOUGHT IT FROM A DEALERSHIP THEY LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT MY TINT WAS MANUFACTURED. I FEEL THAT I WAS RIPPED OFF FROM THE COMPANY BECAUSE THEY OVER CHARGED ME AS WELL. WHEN I BOUGHT MY 99' ISUZU RODEO IT WAS FOR 21,995 WHEN THEY FINISH MY PAPER WORK I THOUGHT NOTHING ABOUT WHAT THEY ADDED ON TO MY BILL. YEARS HAD WENT BY AND I DECIDED TO TRADE MY VEHICLE IN FOR A NEW MODEL. SOME FRIENDLY SALESMEN FROM A ISUZU DEALERSHIP FOUND OUT THAT I HAD BEEN RIPPED OFF BY THE PREVIOUS PLACE THAT I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM. I FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAD CHARGED ME IN ALL $34,00. ON MY RECEIPT IT SAID THAT I SUPPOSE TO HAD, INSURANCE AND A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT. I JUST FELT SO BAD BECAUSE I FELT LIKE THEY HAD TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME BECAUSE I WAS A WOMAN. OTHER THINGS THAT I HAD TO GO THROUGH WITH MY VEHICLE WAS PAYING CONSTANTLY FOR IT TO GET FIXED. MY AXLES AND A WHOLE LOT OF STUFF. I RECEIVED A RECALL IN THE MAIL SAYING RECALLING ALL 99' ISUZU RODEO'S AND I ALSO HEARD IT ON THE NEWS. BUT AS MUCH AS I TRIED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH SOMEONE I NEVER WAS ABLE TOO. I REALLY LIKE HOW RODEOS RIDE, HOW THEY LOOK, I JUST LIKE IT ALL TOGETHER. BUT WHAT I HAD TO GO THROUGH THESE PAST 5 YEARS HAVE BEEN TERRIFYING. *JB | |
