Isuzu Rodeo Structure Frame And Members Safety Report | June 15, 2009
Reported on June 15, 2009
| WHILE DRIVING MY 2001 ISUZU RODEO, I HEARD A FEW LOUD POPS AND THEN MY TORCHEN BARS BROKE APART FROM THE FRAME CAUSING THE CAR TO SWERVE ALL OVER THE ROADWAY AND WAS UNCONTROLLABLE . I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CARS FRAME HAD RUSTED AND THE TORCHEN BARS COULD NOT BE FIXED WITH OUT INSTALLING A NEW FRAME. THE VEHICLES POWERTRAIN WARRANTY IS STILL IN EFFECT WHICH COVERS THE TORCHEN BARS HOWEVER, ISUZU CLAIMS THE FRAME IS NOT PART OF THAT WARRANTY. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY MECHANICS AND ALL HAVE STATED THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON IN RODEOS. I FEEL THAT THE FRAMES ON ISUZU RODEOS HAVE RUSTED PREMATURELY AND IS DANGEROUS TO BE ON THE ROADWAYS. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR | |
