Isuzu Rodeo Structure Frame And Members Safety Report | Sept 28, 2008
Reported on Sept 28, 2008
| I OWN A 2001 ISUZU RODEO. I HAVE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE, IT IS ROTTING AWAY. THE FRAME CRACKED IN LATE 2008 AND HAD TO BE REPAIRED, WITH A COST TO ME. WHEN THE FRAME BROKE THE CAR WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, WHICH PUTS PEOPLE¿S LIVES IN DANGER. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MY REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS WELDED AT MY EXPENSE. THAT HAS COMPROMISED THE STRENGTH OF THE FRAME. IT SINCE HAS NEEDED TO BE WELDED AN ADDITIONAL TIME, THE MOST RECENT, LAST MONTH. MY CAR REPAIRMAN HAS STATED THAT THIS FRAME WILL NEED TO BE WELDED ONCE AGAIN IN THE NEAR FUTURE AS THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER WEAK AREAS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH SPECIFIC MODEL YEARS OF THE ISUZU RODEO. *TR | |
