What owners wrote
I own a 2001 isuzu rodeo which also has all rust and rot throughout the frame and under carriage--I was in a car accident last year,I was at a complete stop at a red light and rear-ended,and the rusted and rotted carriage did not give me protection and I took the brunt of the injury. The auto body shop said I was very lucky that the car that hit me did not come through the car and end up in my back seat. Other than under my car,the car is in excellent condition and only has 65,000 miles on it.
Rear anti-sway bar broke almost caused my daughter to crash. I took it to a mechanic and he discovered the rear frame is severely corroded and is not safe to drive. I have dealt with isuzu and it was hauled to an authorized dealer 110 miles away for repair. They say it has been fixed. They called it a stage 2 fix which is basically spraying a frame treatment on the inside and outside brackets.
