It absolutely should not be brushed off as tough luck. It is not anywhere near normal for that kind of frame rust and it's a big safety hazard for people to be driving along at 65 mph and have their frame break in half on a ten year old vehicle. Isuzu clearly screwed up with those frames. It's not body rust, it's just the frames. All those owners should have been notified by now of the potential problem and Isuzu should be buying back the vehicles with the worst rust. Even if just for $2000, just to get them off the road.
All the affected vehicles came outta the Subaru plant in Indiana. I think we're safe with ours comin' outta Japan. Some of us woulda seen the bad frame rust by now and we've heard of no such problems with the VX.
