Consumer Description

1998 ISUZU RODEO SEVERE FRAME CORROSION RESULTING IN THE REAR END ALMOST DROPPING OFF OF THE VEHICLE. DISCOVERED DURING REPLACEMENT OF CRACKED REAR SPRING THE BACK HALF OF THE FRAME HAS COMPLETELY TURNED INTO CRYSTALLINE RUST. REPAIR OF THE FRAME HAS REQUIRED WELDING NEW SIDE PLATES ONTO THE FRAME RAILS TO STRENGTHEN THE REAR BUMPER SUPPORT. WITHOUT THE ADDED SUPPORT PLATES THE REAR BUMPER IS HAS NO PROTECTIVE PROPERTIES AT ALL. INSPECTION OF THIS REPAIR INDICATES THAT AT BEST THIS FIX WILL ONLY LAST FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE ADDITIONAL STRUCTURAL FAILURE OF THE FRAME OCCURS. TRUCK IS ONLY HAS 138,000 MILES ON A 12 YEAR OLD SUV THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO THIS VEHICLE. REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM IT APPEARS TO BE SYSTEMIC TO THE 1998 TO 2002 YEAR MODELS OF THIS SUV. REQUESTING A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF THE VEHICLE FRAME. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND SOLE DRIVER OF THIS GARAGE KEEP SUV. I HAVE IN THE LAST 2 YEARS HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT, AND A FULL TOP END ENGINE JOB DONE ONLY TO FIND THIS PROBLEM JUST PRIOR TO GETTING THE 2010 PA STATE INSPECTION. WITH OUT THE REPAIRS IT WON'T PASS INSPECTION. ITS COSTING ME A FORTUNE TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. *TR
