ISUZU TROOPER 1999 PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM, ENGINE BURNING OIL. *BF AFTER THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED, THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT LEAST 30 TIMES. THE DEALER GAVE THE CONSUMER ALL TYPES OF EXCUSES UNTIL FINALLY THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING THE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THERE WERE OTHER PROBLEMS SUCH AS A HARD SHIFT WITH THE TRANSMISSION, WATER LEAKING THROUGH THE SUN ROOF, DIFFICULTY STARTING THE VEHICLE, UNEVEN TIRE WEAR, IN JUST 65,000 THE CONSUMER HAS GONE THROUGH 3 COMPLETE SETS OF TIRES. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE AND IT COULD NOT BE ALIGNED. THE TIE RODS WERE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE DEFECTIVE. IN THE PAST THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD WHILE THE CONSUMER HAD HER FOOT FIRMLY PRESSED ON THE BRAKE. THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY IDLED HIGH WHILE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE HAS ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE IT WAS IN PARK. ANOTHER MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE PREVIOUS DEALER INSTALLED SEVERAL ELECTRICAL COMPONETS INCORRECTLY AND THERE WERE ALSO SOME DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THE CONSUMER WAS GETTING POOR GAS MILEAGE. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
A HIDEOUS, LOUD NOISE COMES FROM UNDERNEATH THE CHASSIS. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT COMES FROM THE MUFFLER. IT WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER REFUSE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT IT WOULD COST IN EXCESS OF $800 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE FIXED EITHER BY THE DEALER OR THE MANUFACTURER. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SERVICE BULLETIN OR A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE THE DEALER, WHEN I MENTIONED THE PROBLEM THE VERY FIRST TIME, PICKED UP ON IT RIGHT AWAY.*AK
