What owners wrote
Within the past few weeks we received a recall notice on our 2001 isuzu rodeo. I called the local isuzu dealer and was told that they have not received the "tech bulletin" nor the parts to fix the vehicle but they would call me when they could get our vehicle in. They said it was only a minor issue that required spraying an anti rust spray on a part of the undercarriage. Yesterday, 01/30/2011 the left forward mounting bracket ripped away from the frame causing our vehicle to go into a irrecoverable clockwise spin.
Tl* the contact owns a 2001 isuzu rodeo. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle wandered out of lane and a loud popping noise emitted outside the vehicle. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated that the rear passenger stabilizer bar fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 132,000. Updated 6/22/15 updated 9/18/15
