2000 ISUZU RODEO Suspension Problems

EXCESSIVE CORROSION MAY RESULT IN THE LEFT OR RIGHT REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK BRACKET BECOMING DETACHED FROM THE FRAME, WHICH CAN AFFECT VEHICLE HANDLING AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH

I BOUGHT MY 2000 RODEO NEW AND IT CURRENTLY HAS 37000 ACTUAL MILES. I RECENTLY SAW RUST IN THE DRIVEWAY. I TOOK THIS CAR TO A HONDA BODY SHOP TO SEE THE UNDERBODY. BEFORE PUTTING IT ON THE LIFT THEY SAW THAT THE FRAME WAS EXCESSIVELY RUSTED. ONCE IN THE AIR THEY LOOKED AT THE WHOLE UNDERSIDE AND SAID THAT THE FRAME AND THE LOWER CONTROL ARM WERE HOLED WITH RUST. I ASKED IF ANY OF THIS WAS REPAIRABLE.THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT DO THE WORK BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT ASSUME THE LIABILITY OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS VEHICLE HAD THE FIXES PRESCRIBED BY CAMPAIGN 10V-436 SB 10-11-S002A COMPLETED AT SELLERS TRUCK CENTER IN FARMINGTON HILLS, MI ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2011. THIS ADDRESSED THE REAR SUSPENSION BUT OBVIOUSLY THE CORROSION WAS SO PERVASIVE THAT THIS CAMPAIGN WAS JUST A BAND-AID. AS I READ THE VARIOUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE I...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 ISUZU RODEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V436000 (SUSPENSION). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

I THINK THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE NHTSA TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER GETTING THE REMAINING ISUZU RODEO'S OFF THE ROAD - THEY ARE NOT SAFE. I LIKE A MAJORITY OF OTHER ISUZU OWNERS SUFFER FROM EXCESSIVE CORROSION ALL OVER THE FRAME - I HAD THE RECALL REPAIR DONE AND THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TREATED BUT IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AND NOW I AM AT THE POINT WHERE I HAVE A RELIABLE EVERYDAY CAR THAT STARTS UP RIGHT AWAY, RUNS WELL AND CUTS THROUGH THE SNOW (4X4) BUT DUE TO MANUFACTURING ERRORS NOW HAS A FLAKY, BRITTLE HOLE RIDDEN WHEEL WELL FRAME ON BOTH SIDES THAT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AFTER THE WHEEL GOES FLIPPING OFF THE CAR AND CAUSING IT TO FLIP OVER. ISUZU HAS TURNED A BLIND EYE AND WON'T TAKE ANY CALLS (ONCE YOU FIND THEM). A RECALL MUST BE ISSUED AND MAKE THE MANUFACTURER TAKE...

THE SUSPENSION ON MY ISUZU RODEO 2000 BROKE BECAUSE OF THE CORROSIVE FRAME UNDERNEATH AND IT SEEMS AS IF THE METAL USED FOR THE FRAME AND SUSPENSION IS PART OF A RECALL FROM WHAT I'M SEEING ALL OVER THE INTERNET SO I ENDED UP CALLING THE DEAL SHIP AND THEY WANT TO DO NOTHING FOR ME AND THEY TELL ME THERE ARE NO ACTIVE RECALLS AT THIS TIME WHICH MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE TO ME BECAUSE THE ISSUE THAT I'M SEEING WITH THE RECALL JUST HAPPEN TO ME. *TR

SUBMISSION FROM CONSTITUENT RE 2000 ISUZU RODEO CONCERNS ( PHOTOS ENCLOSED). *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS RECENTLY INFORMED, THE VEHICLE HAD SEVERE RUSTING AND CORROSION ON THE FRAME AND IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE CONSUMER REFERENCED RECALL # 10V436000. *JB

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON 08/06/2014...I WAS DRIVING IT HOME AND IT FELT WEIRD. THE VERY NEXT DAY I HAD OUR MECHANICS PUT IT ON THE RACK TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE UNDERSIDE...I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS IN TOTAL DISBELIEF AT HOW RUSTED OUT AND CORRODED THE FRAME WAS. IT IS SO BAD IT HAS ACTUAL HOLES IN THE FRAME FROM FRONT TO BACK. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND CANNOT BE DRIVEN IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION. I WOULD LIKE ISUZU TO PURCHASE IT BACK FROM ME. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY HUSBAND TO DIALYSIS AND THE CAR FELT DIFFERENT, THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD A FLAT TIRE OR SOMETHING, I DIDN'T HAVE A FLAT TIRE SO IT WAS WINDY AND THOUGHT MAYBE WIND WAS PUSHING ME. IT JUST FELT FUNNY AND I WAS ALARMED. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TURNING A CORNER AT LOW RATE OF SPEED (THANK GOD) AND I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND SCRATCHING. I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND CALLED A MECHANIC AND TOOK IT THERE. THE MECHANIC JUST TOLD ME TODAY THAT HE CAN'T BE DRIVEN IT IS A TOTAL LOSS THE UNDER CARRIAGE AND SUSPENSION IS COMPLETELY RUSTED. I NEVER RECIEVED A RECALL NOTICE AND MADE AWARE, WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE. I AM ASKING FOR RELIEF AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO PROCEED. IT NOT EASY TO JUST PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN YOU HAVE...

AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON 2/20/14 THE LOWER REAR END OF MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE A LOUD CLICKING SOUND AND AS I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN THE REAR END OF MY CAR UNDERNEATH MADE A LOUD SOUND CAUSING IT TO SWERVE QUICKLY.IT SCARED ME BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE THE BACK OF THE CAR WAS FALLING ON TOP OF THE TIERS (IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE) BUT THAT'S HOW IT FELT DUE TO THE LOUD SOUND. SO NOW I FIND OUT THAT THIS SAME PROBLEM IS DUE TO THE POOR WORK OF ISUZU RODEO,IT SEAMS THAT ALL 2000 ISUZU RODEO'S ARE UNDER A RECALL,AND I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM I'M A CAREGIVER AND NOW IM UNABLE TO GET TO MY PATIENTS BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK,I'M HOPING AND PRAYING THAT SOMEONE IN YOUR JURISDICTION CAN HELP ME FIND A SOLUTION TO...

ISUZU IS NOT HONORING IT'S RECALLS. I BOUGHT A USED ISUZU RODEO WHEN I CALLED ISUZU IN ORDER TO DO THE RECALLS THEY SAID MY CAR HAD NO RECALLS ON FILED BASED ON MY VIN#. SINCE THAT CALL MY REAR BRACKET SUSPENSION HAS CORRODED AND DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE FRAME WHICH COULD OF KILLED ME. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL IT SAYS "A VEHICLE OLDER THAN 10 YEARS WILL BE REPAIRED FOR FREE ONLY IF IT IS BROUGHT TO AN ISUZU OR HONDA DEALER WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF NOTIFICATION". WELL I'VE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANYTHING AND ISUZU IS REFUSING TO DO REPAIRS. EVEN WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE ISUZU REPAIR CENTER THEY WOULD NOT TOUCH IT OR OFFER ME ANY REMEDY? I INCURRED TOWING EXPENSES, TIME OFF FROM WORK TAKING THE CAR TO THE AUTHORIZED REPAIR CENTER. HELP A CONSUMER OUT PLEASE. LET'S DO THE RIGHT THING HERE....

LIVE IN MASSACHUSETTS - HAVE BRACKETS FROM PREVIOUS RECALL ATTACHED. UNDERNEATH VEHICLE IS RAPIDLY ROTTING - NOTICED ROT BENEATH MOUNTING BRACKETS, AND ALONG FRAME BEHIND TIRES AROUND WHEEL WELLS. RUST EVERYWHERE AND FEAR THAT THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO OPERATE, VEHICLE IS ONLY 13 YEARS OLD AND RAPID FRAME RUST SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING. OTHER PROBLEMS - GAS GAUGE NOT OPERATING CAUSING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON WHENEVER A TURN IS MADE. CANNOT REMOVE GAS TANK TO FIX ISSUE AS RUST IS TOO EXTENSIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 ISUZU RODEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AS THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE BRACKET BECAME DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THE ENTIRE FRAME WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V436000 (SUSPENSION) HOWEVER, THE RECALL WAS EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I ORIGINALLY BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP DURING THE RECALL FOR INSPECTION AND RECOMMENDATION OF REPAIR AS I LIVE IN ONE OF THE STATES THAT WAS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL. AT THE TIME, MY DRIVERS REAR BRACKET HAD DETACHED AND THE RECALL WAS A FLURRY OF ANGRY VEHICLE OWNERS. TO BE CANDID, ALTHOUGH I SUFFER MANY PROBLEMS OF VARIOUS SORTS WITH THE VEHICLE, IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A DEPENDABLE ONE, ESPECIALLY BEING 4 WHEEL DRIVE. I DID GET A REMEDY FOR THE VEHICLE - THEY MOUNTED THESE HULKING BRACKETS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE AND APPLIED SOME "SPECIAL" COATING - I WAS THANKFUL THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TAKEN FROM ME LIKE SO MANY OTHERS. I DID HAVE TO BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTERWARDS AS THEY DIDN'T INSTALL THE GAS FILLER NECK THE CORRECT WAY AND GAS WAS LEAKING OUT EVERYWHERE EACH TIME...

SPARE TIRE DROPPED, REAR FRAME BROKE OFF ,BUMPER BRACKETS BROKE OFF. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROX. 15 MILES AN HOUR, I LOST CONTROL OF THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE.. IT WAS TRAVELING SIDEWAYS. UPON INSPECTION, I FOUND THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK BRACKET HAD TORE FROM THE FRAME. I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL LETTER RE: THIS MATTER. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP FOR EXAMINATION. I WILL BE CONTACTING ISUZU ON THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY THAT THEY ARE OPEN AS THIS OCCURRED OVER THE WEEKEND. IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THIS WILL BE REPAIRABLE DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF RUST AND THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO FRAME LEFT WHERE THE BRACKET TORE FROM. *TR

CHASSIS ITS RUSTY ALL UNDER THE VEHICLE. *TR

LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE WITH NO WARNING ON THE FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOUR .. GENERAL MOTORS / ISUZU / HONDA RECALL SAID IT IS THE BRACKET DETACHING FROM THE FRAME . IT IS NOT . THE BRACKET PULLED A PIECE OF FRAME FROM MY VEHICLE . THE FRAMES OF THESE VEHICLES ARE THE PROBLEM " NOT " THE BRACKET . THE BRACKET IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AS WELL AS THE WELD TO THE PIECE OF FRAME WHICH WAS " TORE " FROM THE REST OF THE FRAME . THESE FRAMES ARE COLLAPSING , RUSTING OUT FAR BEFORE THEIR TIME . NHTSA & TRANSPORT CANADA BOTH NEED TO OPEN AN " NEW INVESTIGATION " INTO THE FRAMES OF THESE VEHICLES & WHAT'S IN THEM , PRODUCTION & TESTING OF THE FRAMES . GENERAL MOTORS ALSO DID NOT OFFER ME A FAIR PRICE FOR MY VEHICLE AND TREATED ME IN A TERRIBLE...

THE VEHICLE I HAVE PURCHASED NEW, ORIGINALLY AS A LEASE AND PURCHASED IT AT THE END OF THE LEASE. THE BODY AND INTERIOR ARE IN GREAT SHAPE AS WE CARED FOR THE VEHICLE. THE FRAME IS ANOTHER STORY, IT HAS HOLES ROTTED IN IT THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS. DEALER STATING THE TRANSMISSION COULD FALL OUT AND CREATE A ACCIDENT REGARDLESS OF ALL THE ROT ON THE AREA'S THE SUSPENSION CONNECTS TO THE FRAME WHICH COULD DIS-CONNECT AT ANY TIME.

WAS DRIVING W/MY HANDICAPPED DAUGHTER WHEN THE CAR SWAYED FRONT ONE WAY BACK THE OTHER HEARD A TERRIBLE SCRAPING NOISE THOUGHT I HAD A FLAT TIRE ,LOOKED TIRES WERE FINE LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND THE FRAME RIGHT NEAR THE GAS TANK BROKE AND IS COMPLETELY RUSTED I LOOKED AND THERE ARE AT LEAST 20 COMPLAINTS AND ISUZU DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT , I THINK THIS IS OUTRAGES AS THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A FIRE AN MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BE BURNT BEFORE I COULD GET HER OUT I DON'T KNOW WHY THE COMPANY IS NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE AND RECALLS ARE NOT DEMANDED. I THINK THAT YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS CONDITION, ISUZU KNOWS ABOUT IT AS THEY HAVE A 12 MONTH WARRANTY ON CORROSION KNOWING THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN THAT SOON. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU INTEND TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS...

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY VEHICLE IN 2000, THERE HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END AS IF EITHER THE TIRES ARE OUT OF BALANCE OR THE FRONT NEEDS ALIGNING. I HAVE CONTINUOUSLY REPORTED THIS TO SEVERAL DEALERS AND AS OF THIS TIME NONE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM..I, AFTER BEING ADVISED TO, AND AT MY OWN EXPENSE REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES TO NO AVAIL. *JB

THE TIRES LOSE CONTACT WITH THE ROAD WHEN BRAKING UNDER ROUGH ROAD CONDITIONS, WHICH MAKES STOPPING VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE. THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS ARE INADEQUATE, THEY FAIL TO KEEP THE TIRES ON THE ROAD WHILE ENCOUNTERING BUMPS DURING BRAKING. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE NEW, BUT RECENT EXPERIENCE HAS MADE IT CLEAR TO ME JUST HOW DANGEROUS THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY IS. I WOULD LIKE THE PROBLEM TO BE ADDRESSED BY ISUZU - RECALL THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS AND REPLACE WITH SOMETHING THAT HANDLES BUMPS BETTER.*AK

VEHICLE IS VERY UNSTABLE DUE TO INSUFFICENT DAMPENING OF THE SUPENSION, DEALER SAYS THIS THERE IS NO PROBLEM. TRUCK WILL BOTTOM OUT ON SLIGHT BUMPS, AND BOUNCE UP AND DOWN AS IF YOU WERE IN A BOAT, THE SUSPENSION PARTS ARE INFERIOR COMPARED TO THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. CONDITION IS VERY UNSAFE AND COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL IN CERTAIN DRIVING SITUATIONS. BOUNCE = LOSS OF TREAD CONTACT TO PAVEMENT = LOSS OF CONTROL. ALL TIRES/POINTS OF SUPENSION (SPRINGS/SHOCKS) HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WOULD NOT RECCOMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE OTHER THAN A PIRATE, AS THEY ARE USED TO THE HEAVING AND YAWING OF A SHIP.-----------CATALITIC CONVERTER / ENGINE ~ CATALITIC CONVERTER WAS GLOWING RED ONE DAY (WITH THE USUAL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT) JIFFYLUBE EMPLOYEE IN THE PIT POINTED THIS PROBLEM OUT TO ME, LAUGHING AND SAYING IT WAS RIGHT NEXT TO THE GAS LINE, WHICH COULD CAUSE A...

WHEN VEHICLE REACHES 65-70 MPH VEHICLE BOUNCES ALL OVER THE ROAD, AND IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL. DEALER BLAMES TIRES FOR THIS, CONSUMER HAS REPLACED TIRES 3 TIMES PLUS 2 EXTRA TIRES. ISUZU SAYS IT IS A SUV, AND WILL RIDE ROUGH. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER 5 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM.*AK *YH

WHEN VEHICLE WAS COMING TO A STOP, AND JUST BEFORE ACCELERATING, IT JUMPED. DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES ; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. *AK
