NHTSA Complaint #10429625 — 2001 ISUZU RODEO

I OWN A ISUZU RODEO 2001 AND THE CARS FRAME IS TOTALLY RUSTED OUT, WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM MEMPHIS TENNESSEE,I FELT STABILITY PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN I ACCELERATE AND BRAKE, THE STABILITY PROBLEM BECAME MORE STRONGER SO I DECIDED TO PULL OVER OFF THE HIGHWAY TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON THEN SUDDENLY I LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVERS REAR STABILIZER BAR AND BRACKET CAME OFF FROM THE FRAME DUE TO SEVERELY CORRODED /RUSTED FRAME. THANK GOD IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN WE ARE STILL IN MEMPHIS HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED IS 70 IN A 4 OR 5 LANE HIGHWAY. ME AND MY WIFE WERE AFRAID THINKING THE END IS HERE LEAVING OUR SON ALONE, SO I ENDED UP CALLING A TOW TO BRING IT HOME WHICH COST ME 250 DOLLARS. I HAVE THE BRACKET ATTACHED TO THE FRAME AGAIN BY THE WELDER BUT HE SAID THE RUST IS SO BAD THAT IT MIGHT DETACHED AGAIN SOMEDAY. I GOT THE RECALL LETTER FROM ISUZU AND MY RODEO WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER NEAREST TO ME FREE OF CHARGE TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH IS ONLY THE STABILIZER BRACKET ATTACHMENT TO THE FRAME. WHAT ABOUT THE FRAME??? NOW IM WAITING A CALL FROM THE DEALER TO SEE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. *KB
