NHTSA Complaint #10402789 — 2001 ISUZU RODEO

MY HUSBAND WAS LEAVING THE HOUSE, WHEN HE PULLED AWAY THE FRAME, NOT THE LOWER LINK BRACKET BROKE. THE BOLTS WERE STILL IN PLACE. THE FRAME IS SO ROTTED HE WAS ABLE TO PUSH HIS FINGER THROUGH IT MORE THAN A FOOT AWAY FROM THE LOWER LINK BRACKET. THEY (ISUZU) HAS DECIDED TO SCRAP MY 2001 RODEO, I BOUGHT IT IN OCTOBER 2010, A MONTH AFTER THE RECALL (WHICH I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT AND STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER OF RECALL) FOR THE PRICE OF $5000. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ON THE LOT TO BE SOLD. ISUZU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THEM OFF THE ROAD. NOW THEY ARE ONLY OFFERING $1500 FOR IT. I AM FORCED TO TAKE IT, BECAUSE I AM UNABLE TO GO WITHOUT A CAR, BEING A 1 CAR FAMILY, AND MONEY IS TIGHT. I HAVE TO TAKE THIS OFFER TO PAY ON THE CAR I HAD TO GO BUY TO REPLACE MY RODEO, WHICH IS WONDERFUL CONDITION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FRAME, THAT IS NOT COVERED IN THIS RECALL. THE WRONG PARTS ARE BEING RECALLED AND WE AS CONSUMERS ARE BEING FORCED TO TAKE EXTREMELY TO LITTLE FOR OUR CARS. *TR
