Engine started normally, then as driving along, momentary power surge and partial stall, accompanied shortly thereafter by engine misfire, and coolant exiting exhaust. Turned vehicle off and had towed to dealership. Vehicle has approximately 42,000 miles on it and has been well maintained. Factory warranty up to 60,000 expired from a time basis a few months ago, and dealer will accept no responsibility for head warpage due to manufacturing defect or improper head gasket installation at factory. Replacement cost for new engine is approximately $6700. Currently starting a legal claim against isuzu.

Bought used 1999 isuzu trooper with 48,000 miles. Took it to mechanic because it had a problem starting. Discovered engine leaked more than 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles. Isuzu replaced engine just before 60,000 miles, but still has problem starting. Mechanic determined 3 or 6 fuel injectors are bad, and needed to be replaced. Trooper stalls at slow speeds, and engine will rev while idling.

While driving at 65 MPH vehicle stalled. When this occurred vehicle lost power and coasted to a stop. Vehicle was towed to a dealership, who indicated that this occurred because there was no oil in the engine. The engine was replaced, but the problem recurred.

This car has been a nightmare. Basically an accident waiting to happen. The manufacturer and dealership have given us the run around on the vehicle. It stalls when the vehicle comes to a slow. Occurs at major intersections when turning or waiting to turn. Has been serviced 8-9 times for same problem. 3rd time this past month. Car breaks down on way back from dealership! Getting no help from isuzu incorporated.

Vehicle will stall while braking only at any speed. Taken to dealer 3 times, could not determine the cause.

Engine stalled on de-acceleration: at 20-25 MPH, let off gas pedal, engine died. Shifted to nuetral and restarted.

The vehicle has stalled while in motion on several occasions. There has been no warning prior to any of these failures. In each case, the vehicle was able to be restarted immediately after the failure. This has been occuring intermittently for about 6 months and the servicing dealer (hall isuzu in newport news, va) has been unable to determine a cause. Although the servicing dealer doesn't appear concerned, I feel very strongly that this vehicle is unsafe and that eventually this defect will cause the vehicle to be involved in an accident. While I am not a mechanic, the sudden nature of the failures seem to indicate a problem with the electrical system.
