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 pointed out that I have a car that IS unsafe to drive and that the facility they wanted it taken to IS an hour and a half away their comment was 'no one said you had to drive it. You could trailer it.' this isn't a good alternative either especially since I have a honda dealer less than two miles from my house and the honda passport suffered all the same

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

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

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 was performed - but, yet the frame continues to rust and quickly - should that be my responsibility? doesn't the consumer have a certain degree of trust by the manufacturer that the vehicle they bought "could" in fact last many many years if taken care of properly. I have done that - isuzu has not met the ordinary expectations that a vehicle owner has. I want a solution to my problem. *tr

On September 22, 2010, Isuzu Manufacturing Services of America, Inc (Isuzu) submitted a Defect Information Report (NHTSA Recall 10V-436) to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration affecting approximately 120,000 model year (MY) 1998-2002 Isuzu Rodeo and Honda Passport vehicles and MY 2002 Isuzu Axiom vehicles originally sold, or currently operated, in the following states:Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin. All vehicle owners will receive the recall notification.Vehicles 10 years of age or younger will be provided with a free remedy.For vehicles older than 10 years, Isuzu will offer a free remedy provided the vehicle is presented to an Isuzu service facility or a Honda dealer (as applicable) no later than twelve (12) months after the date of mailing of the notification letter to the owner.The report describes a condition where vehicles operated in states using certain road deicing materials may exhibit excessive corrosion which may result in the left or right rear suspension lower link bracket becoming detached from the frame.According to Isuzu a detached lower link may affect vehicle handling and potentially cause a crash.The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed complaint data and found that 114 of the 115 (99%) alleged complete lower link separations from the frame occurred in vehicles originally sold or operated in a state covered by the recall. Of these complaints 2 involved alleged crashes and 21 involved alleged loss of control incidents.The alleged crashes and loss of control incidents all occurred in vehicles operated in a state covered by the safety recall.Isuzu's recall instructs dealers to inspect the rear suspension lower link bracket area to determine if corrosion is present.For vehicles in which corrosion has damaged the lower link bracket area and affected its connection to the vehicle frame, a reinforcement bracket will be installed.For vehicles with no visible signs of corrosion, dealers with apply anti-corrosion material to reduce the likelihood of corrosion developing in the future. Based on Isuzu's safety recall, this Engineering Analysis is closed.A copy of the recall may be assessed on NHTSA's website using the reference number above.

During preliminary evaluation pe09-030, isuzu motors america, inc (isuzu) noted two primary differences once the rear suspension lower link separation occurs between the alleged defect (separation of the lower link from the frame) of this investigation and a safety defect involving lower link separation from the rear axle addressed by isuzu in safety recall 00v-058.in the case of the defect condition identified in recall 00v-058, isuzu stated that the attachment bolt could detach fully, causing separation of the lower link from the rear axle possibly creating a loss of vehicle control. Isuzu also stated that this condition occurs early in the service life of the vehicle.in this investigation isuzu noted lower link separation from the frame IS a progressive corrosion issue with prior warning to consumers.isuzu also stated that in the event of a lower link separation from the frame, the vehicle IS still controllable and can be safely stopped. The office of defect investigation (odi) analyzed complaint data provided by isuzu and america honda motor company, inc (honda), as well as vehicle owner questionnaires submitted to odi from consumers.in total, there were 60 unique reports of lower link separations from the frame including 1 alleged crash and 7 loss of vehicle control incidents that may be related to the alleged defect.most of these complaints indicated that there was no warning prior to the link separation.this preliminary evaluation has been upgraded to an engineering analysis (ea09-018) to further assess the scope, frequency and risk to motor vehicle safety of the alleged defect in the subject vehicles.
