What owners wrote

While driving on wet pavement at 40-45 MPH, I hydroplaned into a guradrail and then into oncoming traffic. Felt as if all of the sudden I lost all control of vehicle, and no corrective measures helped. Then earlier this month, 10-2001, while driving again on wet pavement, had same experience, but no wreck this time. I feel as though both instances were beyond my control and I am becoming increasingly concerned about the safety of the vehicle.

February 2001 CrashInjury

My isuzu rodeo was recalled for the rear suspension/frame rustout problem.isuzu hauled it to bedford ,ohio to the former dealer. It is stage 5,non-repairable. Isuzu has not been in touch concerning buyback or anything. When I call them,they are very rude and act like they could care less.we are down to 1 car,makes things difficult. They have had the truck and we both have pictures of the damage for weeks now.
