THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 183,000 MILES AND EVERYTHING ON IT IS OKAY OTHER THAN THE FRAME. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED. IT IS NOT MY FAULT THAT THE PROBLEM WASN'T ADDRESSED TO ME.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE CERTIFIED ISUZU DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR DURING THE 2010 RECALL FOR PREMATURE RUST (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : EA09018) ACCORDING TO THEM MY VEHICLE DID NOT REQUIRE THE BRACKET TO BE INSTALLED. THEY TREATED THE PART WITH THE PREVENTIVE COMPOUND. DURING RECENT MAINTENANCE TO MY TRUCK WE NOTICE THE ENTIRE FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED, TO A POINT THAT YOU A EASILY POKE YOUR FINGER THROUGH THE CHASIS IN MULTIPLE AREAS. I TOOK IT BACK TO HYUNDAI OF LOUISVILLE TO BE INSPECTED. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK BRACKET (WHICH WAS THE ONLY PART RECALLED) NEEDED TO HAVE THE BRACKET INSTALLED BECAUSE IT DOES CURRENTLY SHOW DAMAGE. AFTER CONTACTING ISUZU THEY INFORM ME THAT SINCE THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED THEY WILL NOT COVER INSTALLATION OF THE BRACKET. SO I AM NOW STUCK WITH A FAMILY VEHICLE THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE! I DID EVERYTHING REQUIRED OF ME DURING THE RECALL. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!! WHAT AM I TO DO NOW??? *TR

Mileage: 144,000

AFTER RECEIVING RECALL INFO IN 2010 ISUZU DEALER INSPECTED VEHICLE AND TREATED THE FRAME WITH CHEMICAL TO PREVENT FURTHER EROSION. JUST HAD MY TRUCK IN REPAIR SHOP WHEN THEY NOTIFIED ME OF THE UNSAFE CONDITION OF PASSENGER SIDE REAR FRAME. YOU CAN STICK YOUR FINGER THROUGH THE FRAME, BECAUSE IT HAS RUSTED THROUGH. CONTACTED ISUZU TODAY AND THEY REFUSE TO LOOK AT IT. *TR

EXCESSIVE CORROSION RESULT IN THE RIGHT REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK BRACKET BECOMING DETACHED FROM THE FRAME, WHICH CAN AFFECT VEHICLE HANDLING AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH. *TR
