I had my truck serviced and was told by garage that my sidewall on all 4 of my tires are splitting. I told him they only had a little over 20000 miles on them and the truck was always garaged that they could not be splitting. He showed me and the sidewall is indeed splitting. I researched and found other instances of this happening with these tires resulting in crashes.

I checked my oil level 3 weeks ago and it was fine. I change my oil every 3000 miles. I added a quart 3 days ago for a long trip I was taking. While driving down to billings, mt, my car suddenly stopped. It had not overheated or shown a warning sign. My car was bone dry of oil! The engine has seized. I did everything right...this is clearly a design flaw in the car.

At highway speed (75mph) a boom noise was heard from the front of the vehicle just after contacting the warning strip on the highway. Vehicle began to swerve and fishtail then flipped end over end 3-4 times approx. One - two hundred yards down the highway. Injured but experienced driver was suspicious of a possible suspension or steering failure and concerned that air-bags did not deploy.

After maintaining our 2000 isuzu trooper by the book and being fully aware of the oil consumption problem, it blew the engine at 103000. I kept very good documentation of all the repairs- and there were a lot of them, isuzu is not backing their powertrain warranty (120,000 miles)because they found a way to get away with it by saying because I didn't have actual receipts for every oil change even though I did many myself and documented dates and mileage, they are not responsible. I've done some research which was easy because its such a common problem, but didn't find much on any trooper owners satisfied or fairly treated by isuzu. The sticker price was $32,000 when I purchased it in 2000 I fully expected to get more than 103,000 out of it. If anyone has any luck with the same problem,please let me know and in the mean time im going to do as much as I can to fight this.

I bought it used in oct 2007 with 60,000 mi on it. The oil gets changed every 3,000 mi but I need to add a qt of oil every 700 mi. As far as gas mileage (it's the pits ) maybe 11 mpg at best. I thought isuzu was a good buy (guess not).

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 isuzu trooper. While driving 30 MPH, the vehicle hesitated and lunged forward. The mechanic stated that the gasket transmission pan had a leak and the gasket was replaced. Approximately one week later, the failure recurred. The mechanic stated that the vehicle had two transmission pans and the second gasket should be replaced. The gasket was replaced, but the failure recurred two months later while driving 35 MPH. The mechanic stated that there was a leak in the accumulator cover and made the replacement. As of december 4, 2007, there had been no further occurrences. The contact stated that there is no transmission dipstick to determine when the fluid is low.

Transmission failed on this vehicle 4 times the first one was before the 50000 miles and every year after that. It stall on the freeway and is a hazard to drive if you are in a remote area.

Excessive oil consumption-denial by isuzu to replace engine.
