The contact owns a 2002 Isuzu Rodeo. The contact recently became aware of severe corrosion on the frame of the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 10V436000 (Suspension) approximately 10 years ago.

The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 91,819.

The contact owns a 2002 Isuzu Rodeo. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that as she was coasting to the right to stop on the shoulder, she observed that there was smoke in the cabin. The contact stated that after she stopped, she opened the driver's side passenger door and saw that smoke was emitting from under the passenger seat, which had been folded over in "cargo mode." The contact lifted the seat and saw that the seat back was melted, with a black spot in the center. The contact stated that she had a cooler in the back that was full of water, and she poured all of it behind and under the seat. The contact saw that the water evaporated. The contact then checked out outside of the vehicle to see if there was any heat source. The contact observed that flames had formed under the rear driver's side wheel well. The contact stated that a person who lived in the house near where she had stopped had observed what was happening and came out with a fire extinguisher and extinguished the fire. The fire department was not called. The contact had the vehicle towed to her residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed and was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The contact had researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 05V466000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) due to the location of the fuel tank, which was located on the driver's side rear, by the rear wheel well. The failure mileage was approximately 117,000.

The contact stated while driving downhill at 40 MPH around a curve with a child sitting in the rear seat, the brake pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to respond. Additionally, the contact stated that upon turning the steering wheel, the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The contact continued driving until the vehicle responded. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred while her son was driving the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the subframe was severely fractured. An unknown dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist as NHTSA Campaign Number: 10V436000 (Suspension) had previously been completed on the vehicle.

2002 ISUZU RODEO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO RECALL AND REIMBURSEMENT *TGW

I OWN A 2002 ISUZU RODEO. IT ONLY HAS 56,890 MILES AND SHOULD HAVE PLENTY OF LIFE LEFT IN IT. I TOOK IT INTO THE LOCAL ISUZU SERVICE CENTER FOR THE RECENT SAFEY RECALL. THEY INSTALLED THE BRACKET KIT PER THE RECALL. HOWEVER, WHILE INSTALLING THE BRACKETS, THEY DISCOVERED HUGE HOLES IN THE FRAME AND SAID IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THERE IS NO WAY A FRAME ON A VEHICLE SHOULD DETERIOTE THIS BAD IN ONLY 9 YEARS. I HAVE OWNED VEHICLES THAT WERE 25 YEARS OLD AND OPERATED IN THIS SAME LOCATION (WINTERS WITH SALT USAGE ON THE ROADS) AND NEVER HAD A FRAME RUST LIKE THE ONE ON THIS 2002 RODEO. THE VEHICLE IS NOW USELESS. I EITHER HAVE TO SCRAP IT OR SPEND A FORTUNE TO REPLACE THE FRAME. ISUSU SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A REMEDY. HAD I NOT TAKEN IT IN FOR THE RECALL, I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN HOW BAD OF CONDITION THE FRAME WAS IN. IF IT BREAKS WHILE DRIVING, SOMEONE COULD GET SEIROUSLY HURT OR KILLLED. IF THE BRACKET KIT DOES NOT REMEDY THE SAFETY OF THE FRAME, ISUZU SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE IT SAFE. IF IT MEANS REPLACING THE FAULTY FRAME OR COMPENSATING THE OWNER FOR THE LOSS IN VEHICLE VALUE, THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO DO SO. *TR

ON APRIL 7TH 2011 MY 2002 ISUZU RODEO LOST CONTROL ON I290 EXPRESSWAY DUE TO A ROTTED REAR FRAME. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE SUV DOWN WITHOUT INCIDENT. I CONTACTED ISUZU CORPORATE AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO NOT DRIVE THE CAR AND HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. *TR

THE REAR ANTI-SWAY BAR ON MY 2002 ISUZU RODEO HAS DETACHED FROM THEFRAME ON ONE SIDE CAUSING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE TO SWAY DANGEROUSLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE. I HAD JUST BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THE RECALL FOR FRAME CORROSION AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE AREA SPECIFIED BY THE RECALL WAS FINE AND IT WAS. THEY FAILED TO TELL ME THAT THE ANTI-SWAY BAR WAS SERIOUSLY CORRODED AND BECOMING DETACHED ON ONE SIDE. WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME IT DID BECOME DETACHED AND THE VEHICLE FISHTAILED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE INTERSTATE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I'D STILL BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I BELIEVE I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE ANTI-SWAY BAR AND THE SECTION OF THE FRAME THAT IT BECAME DETACHED FROM WHICH IS SERIOUSLY CORRODED, ARE NOT PART OF THE RECALL SO THEY WILL NOT REPAIR IT. NUMEROUS CALLS TO ISUZU HAVE BROUGHT NO CALL BACKS OR RESPONSE OF ANY KIND. THE DEALERSHIP SENT ME HOME IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND ISUZU REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT THE FRAME ON MY CAR ROTTED AWAY YEARS BEFORE IT SHOULD HAVE. *TR

A RECALL WAS ISSUED ON MY 2002 ISUZU RODEO FOR RUST ON THE FRAME. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND THE ONE SMALL AREA AFFECTED BY THE RECALL WAS FINE, UNFORTUNATELY, SEVERAL OTHER PLACES ON THE FRAME WERE RUSTED THROUGH AND ISUZU DOESN'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THOSE SO THE DEALER DIDN'T ADDRESS THEM. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, I ALMOST LOST CONTROL SEVERAL TIMES DRIVING IT HOME FROM THE RECALL APPOINTMENT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FIX THE REAL PROBLEMS WITH THE FRAME. SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND A MANUFACTURER WHO DOESN'T CARE AND WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

2002 ISUZU RODEO 2 WHEEL DRIVE, TRANSMISSION SELECTOR IS IN ONE GEAR AND SOMETIMES THE DASH INDICATOR IS IN ANOTHER GEAR. MUST STOP AND SHUT OFF ENGINE FOR AT LEAST 5 SECONDS TO RESET THIS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS....(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO THE LOCAL POOL ON JULY 4TH WEEKEND IN MY 2002 ISUZU RODEO I NOTICED WHEN I CAME TO A STOP THAT I FELT MOVEMENT IN THE REAR OF THE CAR THAT I THOUGHT WAS COMING FROM THE REAR END. CONTINUING DOWN THE ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD THIS SCRAPING NOISE AND STARTED TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE THE CAR SEEMED TO BE PULLING ME OFF THE ROAD. THE SCRAPING NOISE WAS THE REAR TIRE RUBBING IN THE WHEEL WELL. CALLED MY FRIEND TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION IT WAS REVEALED THAT THE CONTROL ARM FOR THE REAR END HAD BROKEN OFF THE FRAME. THE BRACKET THAT THE CONTROL ARM BOLTS TO HAD RUSTED OFF THE FRAME. THE FRAME IS RUSTY ALL IN THAT AREA. *TR

I OWN A 2002 ISUZU RODEO. I AM THE ONLY OWNER. LAST YEAR 2009, IT SUDDENLY STARTED HAVING A JERKING MOVEMENT WHENEVER I STOP AND THEN ACCELERATE. IT GOT SO BAD THAT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHARGED ME $695.00 TO FIX WHAT THEY SAID WAS A TRANSMISSION SEAL LEAK. IT RAN OK FOR A WHILE AND THEN I STATED NOTICING THAT I WOULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GEAR WOULD SHIFT AND ON THE DASH INDICATOR IT WOULD BE SHOWING THAT THE GEAR IS IN PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL OR SOMETHING ELSE OTHER THAN DRIVE. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OFF THE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SWITCH THE ENGINE OFF AND ON A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE THE FAULT WOULD CORRECT ITSELF. TODAY JUNE 30, 2010, I WAS DRIVING WHEN DASH INDICATOR FLIPPED TO NEUTRAL AND THEN THE VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN. BY THE TIME I GOT TO PULL OFF THE ROAD THE VEHICLE WENT COMPLETELY DEAD AND I HAD TO GET A TOW TRUCK TO MOVE IT OFF THE ROAD. I AM NOTICING THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAYS MY TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE COMPLETELY SHOT. I THINK IT IS TIME FOR THE ODI TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES FOR THIS PROBLEM, SO OWNERS DO NOT HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL FOR REPAIRS ON THESE VEHICLES. I WILL BE CONTACTING ISUZU HEAD QUARTERS WITH A COMPLAINT, BUT I AM SURE THAT THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AS THEY HAVE NEGLECTED TO INFORM CONSUMERS OF THIS PROBLEM SO THEY CAN GET VEHICLES CHECKED BEFORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS OCCUR. NOW I WILL BE STUCK WITH PAYING FOR REPAIRS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WHEN ISUZU IS CLEARLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS NEGLECTED TO FIX IT. *TR
