Consumer Description

1999 ISUZU RODEO LS 4WD 135000 MILES. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. AS I AM SURE YOU KNOW THESE VEHICLES ARE NOT SAFE ON THE ROAD. THIS PAST JANUARY 2009 I NOTICED MY SPARE TIRE WAS HANGING LOWER THAN IT SHOULD AND A FRIEND SAID IT WAS SWAYING SIDE TO SIDE WHEN I LEFT HIS HOUSE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION LATER THAT DAY. I FOUND THAT THE SPARE TIRE MOUNTS HAD ALMOST COMPLETELY ROTTED AWAY AND THE TIRE WAS READY TO FALL OFF. LOOKING OVER THE REST OF THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THE LEFT CONTROL ARM MOUNT HAD ALMOST ROTTED OFF. MASSIVE HOLES WERE IN THE SIDE OF THE FRAME, ON BOTH SIDES. THE SPRING PERCHES WERE MOSTLY ROTTED OFF AND PUSHED UP AGAINST THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE ENTIRE REAR BUMPER HAD FALLEN OFF. BASICALLY THE VEHICLE IS A MESS IN THE BACK AND UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD WHICH IS A SHAME BECAUSE IT RUNS GREAT AND LOOKS DECENT. BECAUSE OF WHAT I HAVE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION EVER AGAIN AND IS UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE THAT DAY. *TR
