The recall for the forward mounting bracket for the left and rear suspension does not include a rental car for the duration of the repair. I have to work and do not feel I should have to pay for a rental car for a recall problem. I've been told it will take at least 3 days or they will keep the car permanently if it is too bad to repair. I would be left without a vehicle to get to work or to look for a vehicle if they should keep it. I feel a rental car should be provided for a reasonable amount of time also if they should keep the vehicle.

The contact owns a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo. The contact stated that while driving 25 mph, the vehicle started to shake. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and discovered a large piece of rust that fell from the bottom of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a local body shop where the contact was informed that the chassis was fractured due to corrosion. The manufacturer was not notified about the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 50,000.

The frame and rear suspension on my vehicle has cracked while driving at 25 mph. I believe it was during a turn when I felt a shudder that was abnormal and when I stopped and looked at the underside of the rear of the car, I saw the frame box and housing for the rear suspension coil on the driver's side had snapped. My vehicle body is 99% rust free but the frame is completely rusted through and at some places perforations can be seen. Slight pressure on the frame with your finger can bend the metal.

1999 Isuzu Rodeo rear suspension rotted and disconnected spring from rear left tire. Also right front sway bar rotted causing car to swerve during highway driving. Upon inspection while on lift it is obvious that the frame is rotting through, making the vehicle, which runs great, unsafe to drive.

Fuel sending unit/gas gauge light flashing empty when car is full of gas. ABS light never goes out...had recall repaired dash lights..car is in park but light on dash is in (N)..light on gear shift is dead rear winshield wiper just stopped working rubber seal around rear hatchback window dry rotted causing window to shatter and break while car was sitting in driveway. This is dangerous. Car sliding through stop light when applying brakes to stop or when sitting still car will idle and cause car to move while foot is on brakes. Humming/rattling sound coming from undercarriage of these complaints are posted on several complaint websites and they all pertain to my 1999 Rodeo as well as thousands of others. My Rodeo was purchased in 2003 and I was not aware of any recalls except for the ABS one and I learned about that from a relative who has the same vehicle. If something breaks down or stops working on hers I can expect it to occur with mine or visa versa. Something needs to be done..I will never recommend anyone to purchase an isizu Rodeo if my life depended on it. Everytime I take it to a mechanic there is a Rodeo in the garage waiting to be worked on. The mechanic shakes his head..
