The contact owns a 1997 Isuzu Rodeo. While being inspected by an independent mechanic, the technician found that there was extensive rust and corrosion on the underbody and the brake lines. The mechanic stated that the vehicle was not safe to drive due to the components being full of rust and the risk of fracturing at any time. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 88,000.

I have a 1997 Isuzu Rodeo which I have owned for the past 10 years and want to sell it. It is physically and mechanically in excellent condition except for the exceptional amount of rust to the frame and undercarriage. Unbeknownst to me, Isuzu had a recall on many of these vehicles which I was not aware of, even though I had bought this used vehicle from an Isuzu dealer. Upon contacting the dealer and asking why I was not notified of the recall, he said all vehicles were not subject to the recall. Upon looking up my VIN, he said my vehicle was not recalled!!! I do not understand why as, after researching this online, my vehicle has all the same symptoms of the vehicles that were recalled and I am afraid it may be unsafe to sell!. I realize the recall ended in December and Isuzu is no longer in business but I feel I should have been notified of the recall and given the option to choose whether or not to take advantage of the recall offer.is there any resolution to this or will I be stuck with a vehicle I am afraid to sell?

My vehicle is 1997 and it is same issue with 10V-436 recall notice. I am wondering why my vehicle is not included in this recall as I see the same issue with mine. There were 2 other complaints about the same issue.
