OK, someone kindly sent me the link on facebook and I joined. Now what? I contacted the trouble shooter in Louisville AGAIN, and AGAIN no response. That is pretty sad. I wonder if we contacted a magazine like CAR AND DRIVER or something like that if they would publish it. Any ideas on that? We could send a LETTER TO THE EDITOR and if a bunch of us did it at the same time, maybe something would be published somewhere.

| I flagged down a Rodeo driver the other day at a stop light. I proceeded to frantically explain about the rust problems and the federal investigation in the short time we waited for the light to change. She must have thought I was crazy, but I felt better knowing I tried to warn someone about this dangerous situation. My new idea is to type up a a sheet with all the pertinent information and keep a stack of them in my car. (description of the problem, pictures of my car, NHTSA website, Facebook website and Edmunds forum website, of course!) This way I can either leave the sheet on parked vehicles or just hand them to the drivers I flag down. I have seen a bunch Passports and Rodeos lately, and I feel I must do something to alert these drivers. | |
| I had to take my rodeo into the shop because someone had slammed their door into my bumper. Should have been a simple fix, right? Well when they looked at it they discovered what everyone on this board already knows, RUST! well they asked me questions like: Do you tow a boat in the ocean alot? or Did you leave this submerged in water for a long period of time? My answer to both was no. I just called Isuzo corporate and the "opened a case" for me. Next I am going to NHSTA to submit a complaint. Joined up to the FB group. What else can I do? | |

Check out the following link. Toyota is recalling 2000-2003 Tundras in the "salt states" due to rust on the frames. However, it doesn't appear as though the vehicles are a total loss like ours. Apparently, the spare tires could detach from the frame and cause a hazard to other drivers. I am pretty sure my rear axle breaking loose and my loss of control might cause a hazard to other drivers as well. http://www.wboc.com/Global/story.asp?S=11569196 |
