Isuzu Rodeo Structure Frame And Members Safety Report | Oct 01, 2010
Reported on Oct 01, 2010
| REAR ANTI-SWAY BAR BROKE ALMOST CAUSED MY DAUGHTER TO CRASH. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE DISCOVERED THE REAR FRAME IS SEVERELY CORRODED AND IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE DEALT WITH ISUZU AND IT WAS HAULED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER 110 MILES AWAY FOR REPAIR. THEY SAY IT HAS BEEN FIXED. THEY CALLED IT A STAGE 2 FIX WHICH IS BASICALLY SPRAYING A FRAME TREATMENT ON THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE BRACKETS. WITHIN THE BRACKET VINCITY THE FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND I DO NOT FEEL THIS VEHICLE WAS RATED RIGHT BY THE DEALER, I BELIEVE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A STAGE 4 FIX. I FEEL THIS IS A TERRIBLE SAFTEY ISSUE THAT ISUZU AND HONDA NEED TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBLITY FOR. THERE ARE OVER 150,000 OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND THEY NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST. *KB | |
