2000 isuzu rodeo frame is rotting to bits. Support that holds axel into frame totally rotted off as I was pulling out of a parking lot. If it cut loose on the highway I would have lost all control of the car. Regular garage is unable to fix it safely so its at a welding facility to be looked at but they made no promises to whether it can be fixed.

While driving approximately 45 MPH, the rear suspension lower link component separated from the frame due to frame corrosion (pictures are available). Lost control of the 2000 isuzu rodeo as the vehicle severely pulled to the passenger side of the car forcing the car off the road resulting in a loss of control of the vehicle nearly hitting a phone pole.
1) while driving my 2000 isuzu rodeo on 10/2/09, the left rear axle arm broke off the frame causing the car to stop and the tire vaulted to the front of the wheel well. Fortunately, I was moving at only 15 MPH. 2) this was the only occurrence. 3) the auto had to be junked as I found out the entire frame was corroded. The auto had 47,550 miles.
Loss of control of my vehicle (2000 isuzu rodeo) when the frame on the driver side near the rear trailing arm broke due to rust. It's not drivable so it won't occur again. The frame is broken so it most likely is not repairable.
The undercarriage of my 2000 isuzu rodeo failed due to rust after the frame was welded some 18 months prior for the same problem. The frame failed again and the body of the car was shifting forward and back. I was advised not to drive the vehicle as it is unsafe.
I own a 2000 isuzu rodeo and there is heavy corrosion on the frame.
The events leading up to the failure are simple. Leaving our driveway and within two tenths of a mile there was a rear suspension lower link failure on our isuzu rodeo just as described in the federal safety agency action pe09030. Here are the actions / moments leading up to the failure. We simply gathered in our rodeo. Pulled from our driveway on to a rural country road. Single lane and traveling a speed of approximately 10mph (luckily). It is on this road and with in two tenths of a mile from leaving our home the failure occurred. There was no warning whatsoever. When the failure occurred there was a loss of control, the rear end of the vehicle began swerving from left to right in a track about 3 feet from the original line of travel. Because we were not yet on a major highway, stopping the vehicle was no problem and there was no crash, however, we can't bare the thoughts of what it could have been if we had been traveling at highway speeds. Again, luckily we were very close to home. Towing the vehicle was not necessary as we were able to slowly back the vehicle in reverse to our home at nothing more than an idling speed. The nature of the failure is the left rear suspension bar breaking from the frame of the vehicle. There has been no repair attempted as the frame is in no condition to remount the suspension bar. After this incident we have looked more at the condition of frame on this vehicle. There are other places on the frame were there is total rust through. Because of the incident and because of what we are now seeing we deem the frame unsafe.
2000 rodeo right rear sway bar bracket rotted right off the car frame. Whole frame rotted real bad after 9 years. Rest of the car is in great shape. Isuzu need to pay for this!

Door check arm bushings are bad on 2000 isuzu rodel and 2000 honda passport. Son had to replace bushings on the 2000 honda passport at about 12k ( all doors). I recently purchased isuzu rodeo with 32k and door bushings were bad. Since it was outside the 3 yr period of the warranty had to pay for repair.
