Frame rust condition which makes the SUV un repairable

"takata recall " my stabilizer bar under my car broke off while I was driving on the thruway I almost crashed into another vehicle and I ran off the road.
Daughter was driving call and steering suddenly seemed "funny". Pulled over, had car towed and was told the mounting bracket for the rear driver side sway bar rusted from the mainframe of the car and the car cannot be driven. Researched on web and isuzu had a recall on this issue. Called honda and they suggested we tow the car over 110 miles to the nearest dealership. If at that time they inspected it and determine isuzu is at fault the may or may not offer any compensation. I feel it is unreasonable to require me to tow the car 110 miles. I examined receipts from the previous owner and isuzu issued a recall on this car. The car was inspected on 11/10/11 and this was typed on the receipt: cau inspect found stage 1. Treat per recall. Complete operates as design. Labeled a stage 1 fix. Obviously, they did not fix the issue. Since isuzu has recalled this car do I have any options? Is there a class lawsuit against isuzu?

Only a few weeks after vehicle was purchased while driving the frame of the vehicle literally cracked and separated. The rear passenger frame piece was hanging down and forward! We were so grateful this didn't happen just a few miles before when we were on the freeway traveling at 70mph. We could have died!
Was driving down the road and my traction bar fell off causing me to crash into the curb. The whole frame is rotting out I had no idea of the recall until I looked into it now. How can I get my truck fixed?
