NHTSA Complaint #10460052 — 1998 ISUZU RODEO

WELL ON MARCH 16 2012 WE WERE DRIVING OUR ISUZU. RODEO ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH. WE THEN HEARD A POPPING NOISE AND THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE STARTED BOUNCING SO WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHEN THEY SAID THE FRAME WAS ROTTED OUT AND THAT THE SHOCKS WERE. HANGING THEIR AND THE SPRINGS MOUNTS HAD RUSTED OFF AND THE SPRINGS WERE SITTING ON THE CARGO AREA FLOOR BOARD AND SO A FEW DAYS LATER WE CALLED ISUZU. AND THEY SAID WE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TO ONE OF THEIR REPAIR SHOPS BY THE NEXT DAY OR THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND WE DID NOT HAVE MONEY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THEM AND IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, SO IN APRIL WE TOOK THE ISUZU TO A BODY SHOP LOCALLY AND HE STATED THE SAME THING AS THE FIRST GARAGE BUT THAT IF WE INVESTED $2000 INTO A NEW FRAME IT WOULD BE GOOD AS NEW AND SINCE WE HAVEN'T HAD THE VEHICLE FIXED DUE TO WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN PAID THE VEHICLE OFF YET, AND THE MAJOR PROBLEM IS ISUZU WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR THE SWAY BAR, AND THE WHOLE FRAME IS DAMAGED. *TR
