Isuzu Rodeo Suspension Rear Safety Report | Jan 28, 2011
Reported on Jan 28, 2011
| MY 1999 ISUZU RODEO WAS RECALLED FOR SUSPENSION: REAR , NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V-436, MFG'S REPORT DATE SEPTEMBER 22, 2010. ON JANUARY 28, 2011 I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL INSPECTION TO CORNERSTONE ISUZU AS DIRECTED BY THE RECALL NOTICE. WITHOUT CONSULTING ME FIRST, THEY FIXED THE CAR BY SPRAYING A 24 PORTION OF THE REAR FRAME WITH AN ANTI-RUST APPLICATION. THEN THE TECHNICIAN CALLED ME IN TO SHOW ME THAT THE REST OF THE FRAME WAS RUSTED BUT THAT IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. IN FACT THE LEFT REAR SPRING MOUNT HAD TOTALLY RUSTED SO THE VEHICLE FRAME IS LITERALLY SITTING ON THE REAR AXLE. NOT PART OF THE RECALL THOUGH, SO THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY. I'M SHOCKED THAT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO LIMIT THE RECALL TO A 24 PORTION OF THE FRAME AND TOTALLY DISREGARD THAT THE FRAME HAS DISINTEGRATED IN OTHER AREAS, CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR | |
