Isuzu Rodeo Structure Frame And Members Safety Report | Mar 11, 2010
Reported on Mar 11, 2010
| I MADE A LEFT HAND TURN AT ABOUT 35 TO 40 MPH. JUST BEFORE I WAS PROCEEDING FORWARD AGAIN, I HEARD AN ODD NOISE AND MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SWAY BACK AND FORTH LIKE A SEA VESSEL. I HAD NO WARNING AT ALL. I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE MY WHEEL WAS SOME HOW COMING LOSE SO I PULLED OVER TO FIND THAT THE REAR CONTROL ARM HAD COMPLETELY ROTTED OF THE FRAME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY 2001 RODEO. I CALLED ISUZU BECAUSE A NINE YEAR OLD VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE THINGS ROTTING OFF. ISUZU TOLD ME THAT THEY WEREN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT...PERIOD. I CAN'T HAVE IT FIXED BECAUSE ALL THE FRAMES FROM 2001 RODEO'S ARE ROTTED AND ISUZU ISN'T MAKING ANYTHING AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. LUCKILY, I WASN'T GOING VERY FAST AND NO ONE WAS HURT. HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, I WOULD BE DEAD FOR SURE. THIS VEHICLE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ON OUR COUNTRIES ROADS AND HIGHWAYS! *TR | |
