Isuzu Rodeo Structure Frame And Members Safety Report | Nov 17, 2010
Reported on Nov 17, 2010
| AFTER MY WIFE CAME HOME FROM WORK, WE DECIDED TO RUN TO THE LOCAL GROCERY STORE TO GET A FEW THINGS. ON OUR WAY BACK, DRIVING AT 25 MPH WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND PULL TO THE RIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND WALKED TO A MECHANIC DOWN THE STREET AND ASKED HIM TO DIAGNOSE MY VEHICLES' DAMAGE. HE SHOWED ME THAT A PASSENGER SIDE REAR BRACKET HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED OFF OF THE FRAME. HE THEN POINTED OUT THAT THE REST OF THE FRAME WAS ALSO COMPLETELY CORRODED TO THE POINT OF PUTTING YOUR FINGER THROUGH IT IN CERTAIN AREAS. HE SAID THE DAMAGE WAS NOT REPAIRABLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOW JUNK. IT WAS ONLY MINUTES BEFORE OUR ORDEAL THAT MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME AT 55 MPH. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE OUTCOME IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO HER DURING THIS TIME. *TR | |
