THE FRAME OF THIS VEHICLE IS RUSTED EXCESSIVELY AND IS DEEMED BY QUALIFIED MECHANICS AS NOT ROADWORTHY. ALL OTHER PARTS OF THE VEHICLE WORK PROPERLY AND THE VEHICLE STILL LOOKS GREAT. *TR

EFFECTIVE PART: THE 2 MAIN FRAMES ARE RUST OUT AND COULD BREAK AT ANYTIME. WE BELIEVE ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE FRAMES ARE DETERIORATING IS FROM SALT DURING THE WINTER. DO TO THE COMPANY BAD FRAMING. *TR

THE FRAME OF MY 1996 ISUZU RODEO IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. WHEN SEARCHING ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY LARGE ISSUE THAT ISUZU IS HAVING. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER TESTIMONIALS STATING THAT THEIR ISUZU RODEO'S FRAME IS RUSTED AWAY, AND THEY HAVE LESS THEN 100,000 MILES ON IT. MY RODEO HAS 110,000 MILES, BUT HAS PROBABLY BEEN RUSTED OUT SOME TIME AGO. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON THAT A FRAME TO ANY MANUFACTURED VEHICLE SHOULD BE RUSTED OUT AROUND 100,000 MILES. MANY, MANY OTHER COMPONENTS TO THE CAR SHOULD BE GOING BAD WELL BEFORE THE FRAME ROTS OUT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER CARS IN THE WORLD THAT ARE LITERALLY DECADES OLDER, AND DO NOT SHOW NEARLY AS MUCH FRAME RUST. IS
