SUVs Isuzu Rodeo Rodeo Frame Rust

You are in the Isuzu Rodeo Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
We purchased our Isuzu Rodeo from a very trusted friend less than one year ago. When he bought this vehicle he also purchased a lifetime undercoating, and proceeded to have it done yearly, so rust, was the least of our concerns with this truck. Boy were we wrong. While driving with our two children, the steady bar broke free from the frame of our truck, behind the drivers side rear wheel. We lost complete control of the vehicle, but somehow managed to get to the shoulder! Thankfully we were on a quiet residential road, we could have easily been killed should this have happened on the highway!!! Not to mention perhaps others as well... This truck in a 2001, less than 9 years old!!! I see others here have had this problem as well, I'm wondering if because I am in Canada, will I have any luck in trying to rectify this problem. It really bites that we are now out the price of a New to us vehilce, but what really terrifies me, is the thousands of others still on the road with these vehicles!!! Ours was impeccably cared for, what about the others that weren't? From the years of the models that are having these problems, I'm thinking there are about to be many accidents on Isuzus hands!!! Please help in any way that you can..

lboyd, Read the messages on the Rodeo board and Axiom board. Immaculate and pampered cars rusting underneath. Isuzu doesn't give a dam and they are prepared to do nothing until the government forces them. As for Canada, I haven't seen anything happening in your government, so you are probably SOL. I posted a lengthy "What to do" on the Axiom (rusted frame thread) board and it's how I was able to get my car totaled and money from my insurance company.
