Isuzu Rodeo Structure Frame And Members Safety Report | Mar 11, 2011
Reported on Mar 11, 2011
| THE REAR ANTI-SWAY BAR ON MY 2002 ISUZU RODEO HAS DETACHED FROM THEFRAME ON ONE SIDE CAUSING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE TO SWAY DANGEROUSLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE. I HAD JUST BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THE RECALL FOR FRAME CORROSION AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE AREA SPECIFIED BY THE RECALL WAS FINE AND IT WAS. THEY FAILED TO TELL ME THAT THE ANTI-SWAY BAR WAS SERIOUSLY CORRODED AND BECOMING DETACHED ON ONE SIDE. WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME IT DID BECOME DETACHED AND THE VEHICLE FISHTAILED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE INTERSTATE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I'D STILL BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I BELIEVE I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE ANTI-SWAY BAR AND THE SECTION OF THE FRAME THAT IT BECAME DETACHED FROM WHICH IS SERIOUSLY CORRODED, ARE NOT PART OF THE RECALL SO THEY WILL NOT REPAIR IT. NUMEROUS CALLS TO ISUZU HAVE BROUGHT NO CALL BACKS OR RESPONSE OF ANY KIND. THE DEALERSHIP SENT ME HOME IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND ISUZU REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT THE FRAME ON MY CAR ROTTED AWAY YEARS BEFORE IT SHOULD HAVE. *TR | |
