My Isuzu Rodeo was recalled for the rear suspension/frame rustout problem.Isuzu hauled it to bedford, Ohio to the former dealer. It is stage 5, non-repairable. Isuzu has not been in touch concerning buyback or anything. When I call them, they are very rude and act like they could care less.we are down to 1 car, makes things difficult. They have had the truck and we both have pictures of the damage for weeks now. They need to move faster or have more people resolving this.Honda is renting cars for their customers, course they are still in business, where Isuzu isn't, but still, its not fair to the owners of the affected vehicles.

My 1999 Isuzu Rodeo was recalled for "suspension: Rear", NHTSA campaign number 10V-436, mfg's report date September 22, 2010. On January 28, 2011 I brought the vehicle in for the recall inspection to cornerstone Isuzu as directed by the recall notice. Without consulting me first, they "fixed" the car by spraying a 24" portion of the rear frame with an anti-rust application. Then the technician called me in to show me that the rest of the frame was rusted but that it was not part of the recall. In fact the "left rear spring mount" had totally rusted so the vehicle frame is literally sitting on the rear axle. Not part of the recall though, so they sent me on my way. I'm shocked that they are allowed to limit the recall to a 24" portion of the frame and totally disregard that the frame has disintegrated in other areas, clearly a safety issue.

After receiving a recall notice at the end of Jan 2010 I called the number and they told me my car was not on the recall list. A week later I was driving the car and felt my truck jump, a loud snap, and realize my shock flew across the road. I drove to a safe location and looked under vehicle and saw the other side shock was hanging. I had the car towed on a flat bed because it "was not safe to drive" according to the manufacturer. The dealership had car in the air on lift and informed this car should not have been sold and is unrepairable and damage was so extensive and all because of a safety recall on rear suspension. The corrosion was so terrible. Now, I am waiting to hear back and my car is a loss?
