Isuzu Rodeo Sports 2002

• Recall 79112 [USA]: Excessive corrosion may result in the left or right rear suspension lower link bracket becoming detached from the frame, which can affect vehicle handling and potentially cause a crash.
  Isuzu is recalling certain model year 1998-2002 isuzu rodeo and model year 2002 isuzu axiom vehicles, and honda is recalling certain 1998-2002 honda passport vehicles, that were originally sold, or are currently registered, in the states of maine, new hampshire, vermont, massachusetts, rhode island, connecticut, new york, new jersey, pennsylvania, delaware, maryland, the district of columbia, west virginia, ohio, indiana, michigan, illinois, wisconsin, minnesota, iowa, missouri, and kentucky. Vehicles that have experienced sustained exposure to highly corrosive materials used in some jurisdictions for road deicing purposes may experience excessive corrosion in the vicinity of the forward mounting point bracket for the left or right rear suspension lower link prior to the time that such corrosion would normally be expected.
  dealers will inspect the rear suspension lower link bracket area. For vehicles in which little or no corrosion is found, the area will be treated with an anti-corrosive compound. For vehicles in which corrosion has damaged the rear suspension lower link bracket and affected its connection to the vehicle frame, a reinforcement bracket will be installed. In the rare event the corrosion is so severe that the reinforcement bracket remedy would not be appropriate, a repurchase offer will be extended to the vehicle's owner. All inspections and remedies will be provided free of charge for vehicles that are 10 years old or less. For vehicles older than 10 years, isuzu will offer a free remedy, but only if the vehicle is presented to an isuzu service facility, or honda dealer (as applicable), dealer within 12 months of when owner notifications were issued. The safety recall began on december 10, 2010. Isuzu owners may contact isuzu at 1-800-255-6727. Honda owners may contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.

• Fuel tank retention failure investigation # DP18001

  On april 10, 2018, nhtsa received a petition from mr. Kevin byrne (the "petitioner") requesting that the agency “undertake a defects investigation” of “rust-related detachment of isuzu rodeo fuel tanks” (nhtsa id 11091788). The petitioner experienced a partial fuel tank detachment in his model year (my) 2004 isuzu rodeo in july 2017. On may 23, 2018, odi opened dp18-001 to evaluate the petitioner’s request for a defect investigation. Odi sent information request letters to isuzu and honda requesting production, design history and field data related to fuel tank retention failures in my 2001-2004 isuzu rodeo, my 2002-2004 isuzu axiom and my 2001-2002 honda passport vehicles equipped with the same fuel tank shield part number as the petitioner’s vehicle (the “subject vehicles”). Odi notes that isuzu manufactured the subject passport vehicles for honda. Isuzu implemented a change to the tank shield corrosion protection system as a running change in early my 2002 production. Isuzu and honda sold approximately 172,000 subject vehicles in the united states. Fifty-eight (58) percent of the subject vehicles were produced prior to the shield change (99,000) and 42 percent after the change (73,000).Odi’s analysis of field data identified 19 incidents of partial fuel tank detachments in the subject vehicles. The incidents all occurred in states with high road salt usage in winter months ("salt states") and involved older vehicles beyond 10-years in service. On average, the failures occurred in the vehicle’s 13th year-in-service. Evidence of severe general corrosion in multiple undercarriage components was also noted in 13 of the 19 vehicles that experienced partial fuel tank detachments. None of the incidents resulted in fuel leakage or fire. Aside from the petitioner’s vehicle, odi has not identified any other incidents of complete or partial fuel tank detachment in the my 2002-2004 subject vehicles equipped with the modified retention shield.In addition, odi reviewed 24 nhtsa complaints alleging corrosion concerns with the fuel tank retention system in the subject vehicles that did not result in fuel tank detachment. Twenty-three (23) of these complaints involve subject vehicles built prior to the shield change. Like the vehicles reporting fuel tank detachments, these vehicles are also all from salt states and, in most cases (20 of the 24 complaints), the vehicles also experienced severe corrosion concerns in other undercarriage components. Half (12 of the 24 complaints) of the vehicles show prior accident damage in their service histories.Based on these analyses, odi has not identified evidence of a defect trend for premature corrosion-related fuel tank detachments in the my 2004 isuzu rodeo or similarly equipped vehicles. The damage that may result in tank retention concerns appears to occur progressively over many years with ample opportunity for detection and repair. Furthermore, odi has not identified any crashes, fires, injuries, or fuel leaks associated with fuel tank retention failures in a population of vehicles that currently range from 16 to 19 years old.Accordingly, the agency is denying the petition.A summary of odi’s analysis of this petition will be published in the federal register and is also available in the investigative file for this action.The nhtsa consumer complaints counted in the closing resume for dp18-001 can be reviewed at www.Nhtsa.Gov under the following odi identification numbers (voqs in parentheses denote duplicate records): allegations of fuel tank retention failure: 11084098 (11091788), 10532845, 10486109. Allegations of fuel tank retention component corrosion: 11138931, 10992150, 10845523, 10824247 (10824308), 10597729, 10594770, 10558538, 10550870, 10544001, 10436344, 10424477,10399930, 10393933, 10393246, 10386578, 10374811, 10356153, 10339599, 10329133, 10322095, 10316008, 10296208, 10283640, 10275653.

I have 110,000 miles on vehicle and was just told frame is rusting out. Not safe to drive this car has many miles left on engine, not happy about rusted frame i have heard about , also abs light goes off and on.

Takata air bag, my 2002 rodeo airbag light is on, on the dashboard, i called the dealer and they said its not part of the recalls, it is a vehicle made by honda and should be covered under the recalls, its the same vehicle as the honda passport just a different yr and its a florida registered automobile, how can i get help with this airbag problem, i shouldnt have to pay for the repairs due to defects and recalls.

I pulled into a handicap parking spot in front of a supermarket, put it in park, set the emergency brake. Got out out vehicle, locked the doors. Started to walk away and a guy that was sitting at a table in front of store yelled there goes your car. I ran beside the car to try to open the door to no avail. The car crashed backwards into another vehicle. The police were called and was told by them to call insurance company and to leave if both vehicles were okay to drive. I feel the park gear failed and the emergency brake failed. This has happened before just in park a couple of months ago.

"takata recall " my stabilizer bar under my car broke off while i was driving on the thruway i almost crashed into another vehicle and i ran off the road.

Daughter was driving call and steering suddenly seemed "funny". Pulled over, had car towed and was told the mounting bracket for the rear driver side sway bar rusted from the mainframe of the car and the car cannot be driven. Researched on web and isuzu had a recall on this issue. Called honda and they suggested we tow the car over 110 miles to the nearest dealership. If at that time they inspected it and determine isuzu is at fault the may or may not offer any compensation. I feel it is unreasonable to require me to tow the car 110 miles. I examined receipts from the previous owner and isuzu issued a recall on this car. The car was inspected on 11/10/11 and this was typed on the receipt: cau inspect found stage 1. Treat per recall. Complete operates as design. Labeled a stage 1 fix. Obviously, they did not fix the issue. Since isuzu has recalled this car do i have any options? Is there a class lawsuit against isuzu?
