NHTSA Complaint #10545499 — 2001 ISUZU RODEO

I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR AND I DID NOT NOW ABOUT DEFECTS AND IN EARLY SEPTEMBER I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR A OIL CHANGE AND I LEARN THAT THE TRUCK HAS SEVERE CORROSION UNDERNEATH, MY MECHANIC TOLD ME TO STOP USING IT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I CAN PUT MY LIFE IN RISK BECAUSE THE REAR AXLE CAN SNAP OFF ANY MOMENT AND HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE DAMAGE IS SO SEVERE THAT IS NOT REPAIRABLE. I'M NOW STUCK PAYING FOR A LOAN BUT I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR. THE DEALER AND ISUZU WANT NO RESPONSIBILITY. I BELIEVE ISUZU SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICLE AND BUY IT FROM ME. I HAVE PICTURES TO PROVE THE SEVERE CORROSION. *JS
