“I have a 1998 Isuzu rodeo and was recently driving it and heard a loud knocking made it home the two blocks and realized my engine was shot basically. I have taken it to a auto mechanic and he has stated that there was some sort of a safety recall or problem with the engine and the way the oil gets to it not getting there fast enough. I was wondering if there was some sort of a recall I just bought this less than a year ago and can not afford 7,000 dollars to fix this problem can you help??”
