| WHILE DRIVING DOWN RTE 9 IN FRAMINGHAM MA ON 12/05/2008, MY 1998 ISUZU RODEO STARTED SWAYING. IT FELT LIKE THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE WAS SLIDING ON ICE. I PULLED OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED. MY MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE REAR SWAY BAR HAD ROTTED OFF THE VEHICLE. A NEW SWAY BAR WAS INSTALLED, HOWEVER ADDITIONAL RUST WAS NOTED AND I WAS TOLD TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT FOR FUTURE ROT. IN MARCH 2010, WHILE COMPLETING NORMAL MAINTENANCE, MY MECHANIC NOTED THAT THE FRAME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BETWEEN THE FRONT AND REAR DOORS WAS ROTTED BEYOND REPAIR. THE VEHICLE NOW SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY. *TR | |
