Thanks in advance.Some > car stereos have a restriction on the number of folders that can be 'supported' by their software. I had the same experience with my wife's Sony stereo, it would only see a number of artists and then ignore others. She only ever uses random mix, and so it does not really matter how the stick is organised. I combined albums into one folder per artist. i.e. instead of: Artist A - album 1 - album 2 - album 3 etc.
I just have one folder for Artist A, the software still recognises the separate albums from the tags and it frees up a few folder entries. Try reducing the number of folders and see if other artists re-appear. Bit of a pain, but it may help.
