Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1998 ISUZU RODEO JEEP. A WHILE BACK I HAD A PIECE OF THE FRAME REPAIRED/WELDED, AS IT BROKE AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNSTABLE. I SPENT OVER $500 IN REPAIR COSTS TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO DRIVING STATUS AGAIN. TO THIS DAY I STILL WONDER IF IT IS GOOD ENOUGH TO DRIVE, AS THERE IS RUST ALL ON THE UNDER FRAME OF THE CAR. I HAVE PUT SO MUCH TIME, AND MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE, AND I CANT AFFORD TO JUST GET RID OF THE CAR AND GET A NEW ONE. I HAVE ONCE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THE CAR HAD JUST SAT IN WATER BEFORE I PURCHASED IT, BUT DUE TO THE OTHER STORIES I HAVE READ ON THIS VEHICLE, I KNOW NOW THAT IT IS NOT THE CASE. MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE FRAME RUST AS I HAVE. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE AS WELL, AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THERE SAFETY AS I HEAR THAT THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE CAN DETERIORATE OVER TIME. I THINK SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS NOW BEFORE IT GETS ANY WORSE. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE DEALER IS WAITING FOR, MAYBE A CATASTROPHE, BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE THINGS GET OUT OF HAND. *TR
