Issue is with a safety recall # 10V-436 excessive corrosion of frame and bracket which mine is in very bad condition on 04/04/11 I brought my vehicle to rothrock motors for a diagnose. The service manager also called Isuzu 877-460-0706 as well with no response for a remedy. In the meantime my car has not been drivable due to this condition and have had to arrange transportation daily for 3 months due to the fact they are unwilling to rent me a car while this process is solved which I believe they should buy back the vehicle as the service advisor from rothrock motors stated to me when the car was inspected and is noted on the invoice # iscs839275 "vehicle has more damage to frame awaiting response from Isuzu" this is my case # 11143015 for this recall. Any help in resolving this matter is appreciated I have been inconvenienced far too long through no fault of my own due to this failure. Consumer E-mailed pictures. 07/07/11

My husband was leaving the house, when he pulled away the frame, not the lower link bracket broke. The bolts were still in place. The frame is so rotted he was able to push his finger through it more than a foot away from the lower link bracket. They (Isuzu) has decided to scrap my 2001 Rodeo, I bought it in October 2010, a month after the recall (which I knew nothing about and still have not received a letter of recall) for the price of $5000. This vehicle should not have been on the lot to be sold. Isuzu should have gotten them off the road. Now they are only offering $1500 for it. I am forced to take it, because I am unable to go without a car, being a 1 car family, and money is tight. I have to take this offer to pay on the car I had to go buy to replace my Rodeo, which is wonderful condition with the exception of the frame, that is not covered in this recall. The wrong parts are being recalled and we as consumers are being forced to take extremely to little for our cars.

On August 24, 2010 I was making a right turn from a parking lot, I heard a very loud noise and bang from my 2001 Isuzu Rodeo pulled off to the side of road. That's when I noticed the drivers side rear control arm had separated from the frame.since that time I have followed all of Isuzu's requests for a remedy and now waiting for them to buyback my truck. I'm just now filing complaint because of what I've read online about their absurd buyback offers and them requesting consumers to fill out a W9 form, when the offers a @ a considerable loss to what we Rodeo owners originally paid. And the fact they (Isuzu) knows darn right well the cause of the defect is that bad metal was used to build the frames, not the suspension to cause the recall.

While driving the vehicle the rear suspension broke causing the vehicle to swerve into oncoming traffic. Luckily there was no accident and the vehicle was towed to a friends home until we could determine what needed to be done. I had known about the recall since late December but was unable to get the vehicle in to be checked that quickly. The closest repair facility was 95 miles away from where I lived. Bill colwell Ford in hudson, Iowa was contacted and the vehicle was towed from my friends home. An attempt to repair was made but it was later determined it would not be possible. I have waited for Isuzu to contact me for over a week regarding a repurchase remedy for this issue. I have contacted Isuzu as well as the service manager at bill colwell Ford, and Isuzu is holding up the process. I am paying payments and insurance on a salvage vehicle which doesn't seem fair. I am greatly concerned they will attempt to undervalue my vehicle if they ever get that far in the process. I am without a vehicle and I am extremely angry that more isn't being done to help.
