The contact owns a 2000 Isuzu Rodeo. The contact stated that in 2008 while driving 65 mph, the vehicle stalled. A local mechanic replaced the fuel pump but the failure continued. The engine would not start so the vehicle was towed to a local mechanic who stated that the fuel pump and subframe had holes due to corrosion. The contact called the manufacturer who advised the contact to have the vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 120,000 and the current mileage was 150,000.

While driving aprox 40 mph lost control of vehicle, got to the side of road and proceeded aprox 1-2 miles to local mechanic driving 5mph on the side of the road. Mechanic looked at vehicle and stated the entire rear of vehicle was rusted so bad that it was actually completely broke through on one side and the other side was about to brake through as well. He stated it could not be repair and said if I had been driving 65 miles an hour I could have been killed.

Severe rust found under vehicle, specifically rear end. Shock mounts broke off frame while normal driving. Rewelding only offers temporary relief. Dangerous condition. Rust destroying all metal parts of undercarriage.

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 before there is some horrible accident. I now have no transportation for my child and will not have money for a new car or a used one and I live in the country w/no transportation and have to depend on other people for dr's appt. And shopping, trips to the drug store. I find all this very unfair to everyone that owns an Isuzu!!!!!!

It has been determined by an certified mechanic that there is rust in the rear suspension that has caused the vehicle to fail inspection which is not due to normal wear.

2000 Isuzu Rodeo frame is rotting to bits. Support that holds axel into frame totally rotted off as I was pulling out of a parking lot. If it cut loose on the highway I would have lost all control of the car. Regular garage is unable to fix it safely so its at a welding facility to be looked at but they made no promises to whether it can be fixed.

The undercarriage of my 2000 Isuzu Rodeo failed due to rust after the frame was welded some 18 months prior for the same problem. The frame failed again and the body of the car was shifting forward and back. I was advised not to drive the vehicle as it is unsafe.
