Backed up into a pole at dunkin doughnuts- at less than 5mph , upon investigation found that the complete bumper assembly was rotted , there was no bumper rebar or very little of it left, this a safety hazard, it should also be expanded as part of the suspension recall on this vehicles should also include 02-04 axioms. I have gone to numerious salvage yards & called for a rear bumper assembly only to find out plastic covers o.k. But the rest rotted out. In my incident I took out bumper cover , rear hatch & glass , you would expect less damage at this slow speed. Thank god this was not hit from behind from another car. I would recomend an investigation or expansion of the current recall to include rear bumper assembly.

The frame of the car has significant rust corrosion. Holes are developing in the main frame directly under suspension and body mountings. Frame repair is likely more than market value of car.

I brought my car to the [xxx], which is the representative for isuzu in my area to have pictures taken, as a result of my frame being rotten and falling under the recall. On february 10th the first pictures were taken, we were asked to bring it back two additional times because isuzu said the pictures were not of quality, but the willy's service person showed them to us and stated himself that they couldn't understand what the problem was. After over three weeks, we've called and been able to get no information from our case worker, [xxx]. We were told that we remained in our spot in the line of recalls, so can't understand why after 5 days of having comprehendible photos, no information can be given.

I purchased a 2002 isuzu axiom in april 2010, had it checked by my personal mechanic on february 7th to be told that the frame was rotted out. We brought my car to capital lincoln mercury where we purchased the vehicle to be told there was a recall on it. Then we brought it to have pictures taken at [xxx] on february 10th, who we were told is the isuzu representative in our area. We didn't hear back from either isuzu or willy's so then we contacted them and were told that the pictures were bad; this happened two other times and we've spoken to our case worker at isuzu on friday to be told that he couldn't tell us any information about the decision or my car whatsoever. [xxx] is our service department manager from [xxx] and [xxx]was our case worker from isuzu. We are very frustrated with the lack of help, as we have had to initiate every single contact with isuzu and their representative. I am also still without a vehicle, that I am unable to drive for safety reasons, with no aid from anyone, in respect to a loaner vehicle or any information.
