UNKNOWN OR OTHER

IS THE IGNITION SWITCH IN MY ISUZU THE SAME AS THE ONE RECALLED BY G.M.? IT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE IT.

NHTSA complaint #10764679 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I HAVE A 1998 ISUZU RODEO THAT WAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR EXCESSIVE CORROSION ON THE REAR LOWER LINK. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY RELATED PROBLEM. THE REAR SECTION OF THE VEHICLE FRAME IS ROTTING OUT AS WELL. MY RODEO HAS 80,000 MILES AND HAS ABSOLUTELY ZERO BODY RUST, YET THE FRAME IS EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE FRAME ROT. A CONVERSATION WITH ISUZU HAS LEAD NOWHERE. THIS COULD CAN BE EQUALLY AS DANGEROUS BECAUSE ISUZU'S REMEDY FOR THE RECALL IS TO INSTALL A LARGER BRACKET OVER THE ORIGINAL BRACKET, WHICH IS TO BE ATTACHED TO AN ALREADY DETERIORATING VEHICLE FRAME.

IMMENSE AMOUNT OF FRAME RUST THAT HAS BASICALLY MADE THE VEHICLE USELESS WAY BEFORE THE END OF ITS USEFUL LIFE. HAS EATEN AWAY AT THE CRITICAL PARTS OF THE FRAME THAT HAS MADE IT VERY UNSAFE AND UNUSABLE TO ME. HAD TO GET A NEW CAR AS A RESULT AND NOW WAITING TO SEE WHAT IS GOING TO BE DONE IF ANYTHING ABOUT TRUCK. WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE THE FRAME FIXED AND THE MANUFACTURE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE MALFUNCTIONS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED!

WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN TRUCK IDLED AND IT FELT LIKE IT WOULD DIE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO DEALER FIRST TIME THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. THE NEXT WEEK WAS ON TOLLWAY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AGAIN IT FELT LIKE THE TRUCK WOULD DIE AND AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO DEALER AGAIN. THET RAN THE CAR FOR 2 HOURS STRAIGHT AND DROVE CAR FOR 8 MILES. COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. THE TRUCK ONLY HAD 10875 MILES . SINCE THAT TIME HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN .WHEN I STOP THE TRUCK AT LIGHTS SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE THE ENGINE RMPS GO UP AND DOWN AND TRUCK WANTS TO DIE BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOT GONE ON. REGARDING THE BRAKES ONE TIME WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR WAS DRIVING 30 MILES AND HOUR TO A STOPLIGHT. IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKES HAD NO GRIP IMMEDIATELY. TOOK FOOT OF BRAKE AND REAPPLYED AND THE TRUCK STOPPED. HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. AT THE TIME I THOUGHT MAYBE THIS TRUCK HAS A DIFFERENT FEEL THAN A CAR WOULD HAVE. THIS IS MY FIRST SUV. I HAVE RECENTLY HEARD ON THE NEWS ABOUT BRAKE PROBLEMS ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. I DRIVE CHILDREN AROUND IN THIS CAR AND HAVE BECOME VERY CAUTIOUS AT INTERSECTIONS. I FEEL THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND ABOUT THE PEOPLE I COULD POTENTIALLY HIT IF THE BRAKES WENT OUT. I CALLED THE DEALER TO ASK ABOUT INFORMATION REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND WAS RUDELY TOLD THEY HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. ANY INFORMATION ABOUT EITHER OF THESE PROBLEMS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. ALSO I READ THERE WAS A RECALL INVOLVING PAINT ON THE BUMPER BEING A PROBLEM. HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM THE DEALER REGARDING THIS. I AM VERY DISSAPOINTED WITH THIS VECHICLE. I AM 42 YEARS OF AGE AND HAVE NEVER HAD A VECHICLE I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE.
