Isuzu Rodeo Structure Frame And Members Safety Report | Apr 01, 2009
Reported on Apr 01, 2009
| I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 ISUZU RODEO TO MEET MY DAUGHTER AT HER SCHOOL. WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT ALL THE CAR STARTED SWAYING OUT OF CONTROL AND I COULD HEAR SOMETHING DRAGGING UNDERNEATH. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO LOOK MY FRAME HAS BROKEN AT THE TRAILING ARM. I HAD IT TOWED TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WHOLE FRAME IS ROTTED. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY ENDED UP WELDING IT BACK TOGETHER AS I COULD NOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR, BUT IT IS STILL ROTTED ALL AROUND THE ENTIRE FRAME. ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. IF I HAD STILL BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR HAVE KILLED SOMEONE ELSE. I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY COMPLAINTS THERE ARE AND WAS SHOCKED WHEN I SAW CHANNEL 5 NEWS STORY WITH THE SAME EXACT VEHICLE AS MINE. PLEASE PUSH FOR A RECALL. *TR | |
