Isuzu Rodeo Structure Frame And Members Safety Report | Dec 11, 2009
Reported on Dec 11, 2009
| THE INTEGRITY OF THE ENTIRE REAR SECTION OF OUR 2001 ISUZU RODEO HAS BEEN COMPROMISED BY SEVERE CORROSION. BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT REAR FRAME RAIL SECTIONS, TO WHICH THE TRACTION BARS ARE ATTACHED, ARE SO RUSTED AND ROTTED OUT THAT THE TRACTION BARS ARE IN DANGER OF DETACHING FROM THE FRAME RAILS! THE GAS TANK SUPPORT IS ALSO ROTTED THROUGH AND, ESSENTIALLY, THE ENTIRE REAR FRAME SECTION OF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY DESTROYED BY THIS CORROSION. IT IS FULL OF HOLES AND CRACKS AND IS LITERALLY DISINTEGRATING. THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER, IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, AS WELL AS THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THIS RODEO AND HAVE FAITHFULLY MAINTAINED IT SINCE WE PURCHASED IT IN APRIL 2001, YET THE VEHICLE IS NOW UNSAFE AND NO LONGER DRIVABLE! THIS CORROSION IS OBVIOUSLY THE RESULT OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT HAS CREATED A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND WARRANTS A RECALL. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR DIE BEFORE ISUZU OR HONDA WILL ACT RESPONSIBLY AND TAKE ACTION? *TR | |
