2000 Isuzu Rodeo

Defect. ISUZU IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 1998-2002 ISUZU RODEO AND MODEL YEAR 2002 ISUZU AXIOM VEHICLES, AND HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN 1998-2002 HONDA PASSPORT VEHICLES, THAT WERE ORIGINALLY SOLD, OR ARE CURRENTLY REGISTERED, IN THE STATES OF MAINE, NEW HAMPSHIRE, VERMONT, MASSACHUSETTS, RHODE ISLAND, CONNECTICUT, NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY, PENNSYLVANIA, DELAWARE, MARYLAND, THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, WEST VIRGINIA, OHIO, INDIANA, MICHIGAN, ILLINOIS, WISCONSIN, MINNESOTA, IOWA, MISSOURI, AND KENTUCKY. VEHICLES THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED SUSTAINED EXPOSURE TO HIGHLY CORROSIVE MATERIALS USED IN SOME JURISDICTIONS FOR ROAD DEICING PURPOSES MAY EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE CORROSION IN THE VICINITY OF THE FORWARD MOUNTING POINT BRACKET FOR THE LEFT OR RIGHT REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK PRIOR TO THE TIME THAT SUCH CORROSION WOULD NORMALLY BE EXPECTED.

Risk. 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.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK BRACKET AREA. FOR VEHICLES IN WHICH LITTLE OR NO CORROSION IS FOUND, THE AREA WILL BE TREATED WITH AN ANTI-CORROSIVE COMPOUND. FOR VEHICLES IN WHICH CORROSION HAS DAMAGED THE REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK BRACKET AND AFFECTED ITS CONNECTION TO THE VEHICLE FRAME, A REINFORCEMENT BRACKET WILL BE INSTALLED. IN THE RARE EVENT THE CORROSION IS SO SEVERE THAT THE REINFORCEMENT BRACKET REMEDY WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE, A REPURCHASE OFFER WILL BE EXTENDED TO THE VEHICLE'S OWNER. ALL INSPECTIONS AND REMEDIES WILL BE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE 10 YEARS OLD OR LESS. FOR VEHICLES OLDER THAN 10 YEARS, ISUZU WILL OFFER A FREE REMEDY, BUT ONLY IF THE VEHICLE IS PRESENTED TO AN ISUZU SERVICE FACILITY, OR HONDA DEALER (AS APPLICABLE), DEALER WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF WHEN OWNER NOTIFICATIONS WERE ISSUED. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 10, 2010. ISUZU OWNERS MAY CONTACT ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727. HONDA OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.

Defect. ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR MODULES WERE MANUFACTURED AND SHIPPED WITHOUT A NECESSARY COMPONENT KNOWN AS A CHECK VALVE PIN.

Risk. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE AIR BAG WILL NOT INFLATE PROPERLY OR SUFFICIENTLY RESULTING IN AN INCREASED RISK OF INJURY TO THE SEAT OCCUPANT.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT ISUZU AT 1-800-643-4070.

Defect. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SAFETY ACT. HOWEVER, IT IS DEEMED A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN BY THE AGENCY. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 1998-2000 RODEO (UE) AND AMIGO (UA) MODELS EQUIPPED WITH 2.2L 4-CYLINDER ENGINES. THE TIMING BELT COULD BREAK BEFORE THE RECOMMENDED SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE.

Risk. THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO CRANK BUT WILL NOT START OR THE ENGINE COULD STALL WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT RESTART.

Remedy. DEALER WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE THE CONDITION OF THE TIMING BELT AND TENSIONER. THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE TIMING BELT. DEPENDING ON THE CONDITION OR MODEL OF THE TIMING BELT TENSIONER, THE TENSIONER MAY ALSO BE REPLACED. ISUZU HAS DECIDED TO CONDUCT A SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE THE TIMING BELT. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JUNE 22, 2001. OWNERS CAN CONTACT ISUZU AT 1-800-643-4070, EXT. 426, CONCERNING THIS PROGRAM.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH THE INFLATORS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG MODULES HAVING THE WRONG AMOUNT OF GENERANT.

Risk. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THAT WOULD TRIGGER A PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, TOO MUCH GENERANT CAN CAUSE THE INFLATOR MODULE TO EXPLODE. IF THE AIR BAG MODULE EXPLODES, METAL AND PLASTIC DEBRIS COULD CAUSE SEVERE INJURY TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG UNIT.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2000 ISUZU RODEO. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT BECAME DISTRACTED AND CROSSED THE YELLOW LANE LINES. IN AN ATTEMPT TO AVOID AN ONCOMING VEHICLE, THE CONTACT JERKED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ROLLOVER. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THREE TREES AND ROLLED OFF A CLIFF. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO BE THROWN AROUND INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A FRACTURED STERNUM, A CONCUSSION, AND INJURIES TO THE RIGHT KNEE THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 ISUZU RODEO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD AN UNUSUAL NOISE AND NOTICED THAT THE FRONT BODY FRAME WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 151,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 ISUZU RODEO. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 35-40 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH RESULTED IN A SIDE IMPACT COLLISION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DUE TO SEVERE FRAME CORROSION, THE FRAME DETACHED AND STRUCK THE REAR DRIVER WHEEL, WHICH ULTIMATELY CAUSED THE CRASH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000. ...UPDATED 03/08/17 *BF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 ISUZU RODEO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR ROUTINE SERVICE, THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN A VOLUNTARY MANUFACTURER'S RECALL; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT IT HAD EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 213,000.

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 STRONGLY AGREE THAT THESE CARS ARE A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE BOUGHT BACK BY ISUZU AND TAKEN OFF THE ROAD. LIKE MANY OTHERS I HAVE SIDELINED MINE AND BEEN FORCED TO BUY ANOTHER CAR TO REPLACE IT WAY BEFORE IT WAS NECESSARY. IRONICALLY, THIS CAR IS IN ALMOST PRISTINE CONDITION FROM THE BODY UP. I HAVE CONTACTED ISUZU AND RECEIVED A LETTER IN RETURN IN WHICH THEY ASSERT THAT THEY DID EVERYTHING THEY HAD TO AND THAT THE ORIGINAL RECALL DID NOT REQUIRE MORE THAN DEALING WITH THE REAR SUSPENSION AND THEREFORE I WAS OUT OF LUCK. IN THE LETTER THEY SAID I COULD CALL FOR MORE INFORMATION. I DID AND THEY OFFERED TO 'REDO THE PROCEDURES OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL.' WHEN I PO

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 ISUZU RODEO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE VEHICLE HAD EXCESSIVE CORROSION TO THE SUBFRAME. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE AND COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2000 ISUZU RODEO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE TECHNICIAN OBSERVED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE FRAME WAS RUSTED THROUGHOUT. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,000.

LEFT SIDE REAR FRAME WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE TIRE RUSTED THROUGH. BOTTOM PIECE HAS DETACHED FROM ONE SIDE. I JUST READ THEIR WAS A RECALL IN 2010 BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING. I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2007. THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION, LUCKILY I NOTICED IT WHEN I DID, FORTUNATELY I WASN'T DRIVING. WHAT DO I DO NOW? -THANK YOU. *TR

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 RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHATEVER SHADY PROCESSES THEY USED ON THE ASSEMBLY LINE. I AM VERY UPSET THAT I NEED TO GO OUT AND PURCHASE A NEW CAR AND THAT I HAVE NO VALUE IN THIS CAR DUE TO THE FACT THAT I CANNOT SELL AN UNSAFE CAR. MAKE THE MANUFACTURER BUY BACK THESE VEHICLES OR RECALL THEM! TOO MANY COMPLAINTS - AND YOU CANNOT IGNORE THE SAME REPEATED TREND - EVERYONE IN THE NORTHEAST HAS EXPERIENCED THIS HORRIBLE PAIN! *TR

I PURCHASED A 2000 ISUZU RODEO FROM A DEALERSHIP ON DECEMBER 4, 2014. I GOT IT HOME ONLY TO REALIZE THE ENTIRE FRAME IS RUSTED ALMOST COMPLETELY THROUGH. IT'S WORSE IN THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE. THE FRAME UNDER THE HATCHBACK AREA IS ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T TAKE IT BACK AND I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONTACT ANYONE AT ISUZU. THE SUV IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION OTHERWISE. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 ISUZU RODEO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 20 MPH AND TRAVELED OVER A POT HOLE WHEN THE REAR CONTROL ARM MOUNT SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRAME ASSEMBLY, SUSPENSION AND ALIGNMENT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 210,000.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 ISUZU RODEO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 35 MPH, THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SWING 4 TO 6 INCHES FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. A PRIVATE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE BOTTOM FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

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 A ISUZU RODEO PAID OFF. PLEASE CONTACT US. *TR

T HE "REDUCED POWER" LIGHT COMES ON AND ACCELERATION IS REDUCED DOWN TO 10-15 MPH. THIS IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS ,SINCE I NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. I HAVE MANY CLOSE CALL ACCIDENTS FROM THIS, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A SERVICE STATION AND THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM . PLEASE ADVISE! I'M DESPERATE. I'M 62YEARS OLD AND DISABLED AND NEED A VEHICLE THAT'S DEPENDABLE TO CARRY MY GRANDCHILDREN IN, AND GO TO MY MAY DR. APPOINTMENTS.

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 THIS URGENT MATER,PLEASE SOME ONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DRIVES ONE OF THESE CAR'S ON THE HIGH WAY AND PEOPLE GET HURT.IF SOMEONE SAW HOW CORRODED THE REAR SUSPENSION OF MY CAR IS YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE ISUZU IS SELLING CARS LIKE THIS,,I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME,PLEASE,PLEASE......!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

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. ISUZU SHOULD HONOR ALL IT'S RECALLS ON MY CAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES HR IN 820 I EXITED RIGHT ON THE WEATHERFORD EXIT AND WHILE IN THE TURN THE BD SIDE TIREBLEW OUT AN THE TREAD HAD COME OFF CAUSING MY CAR TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL AND GO DOWN AN EMBANKMENT IN WHICH WE ALMOST FLIPPED MY CAR BEFORE WE COULD GET IT STOPPED IN WHICH IT CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

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 I FILLED. I SWEAR THEY CAUSED A LOT OF OTHER PROBLEMS DURING THE FIXING OF THE VEHICLE - BUT CANNOT PROVE AS SUCH. I DON'T CARE FOR THE FACT THAT BECAUSE THEY REMOVED MY EXHAUST MY WARRANTY FOR MY EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS VOIDED - AN EXTRA COST I AM STILL SAVING FOR REPAIRING. BUT THE REAL REASON I WRITE TO COMPLAIN IS THAT THE FRAME IS RUSTING RAPIDLY RIGHT UNDERNEATH THOSE NEW HULKING BRACKETS THEY INSTALLED - NOT SURE WHERE THE "SPECIAL" COATING WAS DONE - BUT A FLAKING, HOLE RIDDEN FRAME IS NOW APPARENT AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT REMEDY, IF ANY CAN BE TAKEN. I CERTAINLY FALL OUTSIDE THE TERMS SET FORTH IN THE RECALL NOTICE, YET, DID IN GOOD FAITH BRING IT IN FOR A REPAIR THAT WA

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

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT A RATE OF 55MPH THE CAR DIED OUT AND WE WERE HAVING A HARD TIME CONTROLLING IT TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. WE PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. WE TURNED THE KEY OFF AND THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WOULD LIGHT UP. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. I CONNECTED THE BATTERY AND THE CAR STARTED. ALSO I CAN BE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND I HIT MY BRAKES AND MY CAR DIES OUT. I GO TO START IT AND IT WILL NOT START. I HAVE TO WAIT A BIT AND THEN THE CAR STARTS. MY CAR DIES OUT RANDOMLY, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM GOING AND THE CAR DIES OUT WHEN I PUSH MY BRAKES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY CAR DIES OUT AND THE CARS BEHIND ME DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. *TR

SO MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES TO START WITH. THE FIRST ISSUE WAS WITH THE WINDOWS. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP, SO WE GOT THE SWITCH TESTED, SWITCH TESTED OK SO WE PURCHASED A NEW MOTOR. INSTALL THE NEW MOTOR AND WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP. THEN THE PASSENGER WINDOW STARTED TO ACT UP INTERMITTENTLY. THEN THE AUX PLUGIN BLEW A FUSE, CHANGE THE FUSE AND IT BLEW AGAIN. NOTICED THERE WAS CORROSION ALL THE TIME AT BATTERY CABLES, SO I CHANGED THE BATTERY. THEN THE STARTER WAS NO GOOD. CHANGED THE STARTER AND NOW THE BATTERY IS NOT GOOD. CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE IS A GROUND AT THE STARTER;NONE FOUND. TAKE BATTERY OUT AND EXCHANGE. IN THE MEANTIME THE CAR STALLS OUT INTERMITTENTLY. I CAN BE GOING 50MPH OR 25MPH, IT WON'T MATTER, THE CAR JUST STALLS OUT.I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL THE WHEEL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. RADIO GOES OFF AND ON SOMETIMES BUT MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE CAR STALLING OUT.I CAN ALSO SMELL SOMETIMES WIRES MELTING. I OPEN THE HOOD TO CHECK AND I FIND NOTHING. I SERVICE THE CAR EVERY 4 MONTHS. MY MECHANIC ADVISED FOR ME TO TAKE IT TO SOMEONE WHO CAN CHECK THE ELECTRICAL. THERE ARE TOO MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES GOING ON WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS CANNOT BE NORMAL OR OK. I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE THE FRONT WINDOWS. AND THE FUSE STILL BLOWS FOR THE AUX PLUGIN. WILL BE CHECKING ON ALTERNATOR NEXT BUT THE DASH DOES NOT INDICATE ANY ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY NOT CHARGING.

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

AFTER EXITING A PARKING LOT AND WHEN APPROACHING THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL (ALREADY RED) AT A SPEED LESS THAN 5MPH (THE SIGNAL WAS APPROX 5 CAR LENGTHS FROM THE PARKING LOT EXIT), WHILE FURTHER SLOWING (BRAKING) TO LINE UP BEHIND THE LAST OF THE 2 CARS ALREADY STOPPED AT THE SIGNAL, THE RODEO UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED WHICH REQUIRED THE DRIVER TO AGGRESSIVELY AND CONTINUOUSLY APPLY THE BRAKES. THE RODEO SLOWED BUT COULD NOT BE STOPPED WITHIN A DISTANCE OF APPROX 2-3 CAR LENGTHS AND RESULTED IN CONTACT WITH THE 2ND CAR WHICH WAS STOPPED AT THE SIGNAL. AFTER EXCHANGING INSURANCE INFO WITH THE INVOLVED PARTIES, THE RODEO WAS DRIVEN DIRECTLY TO CKM AUTO SERVICE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION. CKM DID NOT FIND SOURCES WHICH MAY HAVE CREATED THIS PROBLEM ... CKM ALSO RETAINED THE RODEO AND DROVE IT A PERIOD OF DAYS TO ATTEMPT TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. WEBSITE RESEARCH FINDS OTHER SIMILAR UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION EVENTS WITH THE RODEO (SOME AT MUCH HIGHER SPEEDS) BUT NONE SEEM TO HAVE FOUND THE CAUSE. THIS WAS THE SECOND INCIDENT OF THIS SAME NATURE WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND NO OTHER VEHICLES, PROPERTY OR PERSONS WERE DAMAGED (JUST A HEART-STOPPING MOMENT WHEN THE RODEO COULD NOT BE STOPPED WITH AGGRESSIVE AND CONTINUOUS BRAKING..RODEO WAS CHECK OUT BY CKM). RODEO IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND SINCE A DEFINITIVE CAUSE COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED, THIS RODEO WAS TRADED IN ON 5-24-13 AS WE NO LONGER HAD CONFIDENCE IN ITS SAFETY. *TR

I WAS TOLD THERE WAS RECALLS THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, WHEN I CALLED ISUZU THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT, I TRUSTED THEIR NAME, THINKING IT WAS A SAFE AND RELIABLE VEHICLE FOR MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN, PLEASE HELP ME AS THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY ROTTED!!! [XXX]. I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN FOR HELP, BUT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND ISUZU WILL NOT HELP ME. I CANT AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE AT THIS TIME, BUT I DO NEED TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN.

HELLO, MY 2000 ISUZU RODEO WAS GETTING REPAIRED THIS WEEKEND AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE FRAME OF THE CAR WAS SEVERELY RUSTED AND DAMAGED. HE SAID THERE WAS A RECALL LAST YEAR ON THE MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR. I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE AND THEREFORE MISSED THE DEADLINE TO SUBMIT MY CAR FOR REPAIR ON THE RECALL. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE IT APPEARS THERE ARE MANY ISUZU THAT 1. DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS RECALL OR 2. MISSED THE DEADLINE LIKE I DID. IF THESE CARS AND THIS DAMAGE IS AS SEVERE AS IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE SHOULD NOT BE A DEADLINE ON THIS RECALL. ALL CARS SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD. I CALLED ISUZU AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. I HAVE LIVED IN NORTH CAROLINA FOR THE LAST YEAR BUT FOR THE FIRST 11 YEARS I HAD THIS CAR IT WAS IN CHICAGO, IL. *TR

PLEASE RE-OPEN NHTSA CAMPAIGN 10V436000 A SAFETY ISSUE SUCH AS THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE A RECALL EXPIRATION DATE. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE, I LIVE 1 AND A HALF HOURS AWAY FROM AN ISUZU DEALERSHIP (WAS TOLD I COULD ONLY GO TO AN ISUZU DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS FIXED) WAS ALSO TOLD THIS IS AN ALL DAY REPAIR AND NO LOANER CAR WOULD BE GIVEN.

HELLO, I BOUGHT MY ISUZU RODEO SUV IN FEB. OF 2000. I PAID $27,000 WITH A TRADE IN. I NOTICED THE FIRST YEAR THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE GOING ON 50-55 MILES AN HOUR, SO TOOK IT BACK TO THE WHERE I BOUGHT IT, THEY FIXED IT BUT IT WAS STILL HAPPENING. SO, YEARS WENT BY A FEW OTHER PROBLEMS OCCURRED SPENT MONEY ON THE CAR TO HAVE IT FIXED BUT ONE THING I NOTICED THAT THE BOTTOM AND BODY OF THE CAR STARTED TO ROT, NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS. HAVING PROBLEMS WITH STARTING THE CAR, IT STALLS, WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IT DECIDES TO STALL, MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT. WE COULD OF GOTTEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS CAR, SO UNSAFE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 75,000 MILES ON IT ONLY 12 YRS OLD, I HAVE MAINTAINED THE CAR IN GOOD CONDITION, JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND, IT LOOKS HORRIBLE. SO, DRIVING A FEW WEEKS AGO, I HEARD THIS LOUD SNAP AND ALSO TO MENTION MY 17 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN HER CAR SEAT IN THE BACK. I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT WAS, SO THAN I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVING THE WAY IT WAS, MY HUSBAND LOOKED DOWN AND HE SAID THAT RIGHT SWAY BAR IS BROKEN. SO, TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID YOU WILL NEED TO SPEND MONEY ON REPAIRING IT AND OTHER PARTS THAT ARE ROTTING. SO, THIS REALLY MAKES YOU THINK HOW SAFE MY DAUGHTER IS IN THE CAR. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS CAR AT ALL EVER SINCE, I AM SO SCARED. SO, FINANCIAL I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR ALL OF THE PARTS ON THIS CAR,I HAVE TO GO OUT AND FIND A CAR THAT IS DEPENDABLE AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY ESPECIALLY MY CHILD. SERIOUSL

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.
