Last 3 weeks - initially seemed like power loss/surge, then heard unusual sound coming from engine compartment 1 week ago, engine started to die while operating on city/residential streets whenever not pushing gas (slowing to turn or stop) friday, would not even hold idle to start, pushed gas and held RPM's at 1 - 1.5 for a while and finally started. Today, initially would not start. Next time started RPM's at over 2, dropped when shifted to reverse, when shifted to drive vehicle accelerated without use of gas pedal up to steady 35 MPH on city street. After 1 mile, at next intersection started making that strange noise in engine compartment (like air or fluid under pressure ie air compressor/high pressure water sound) while pressing brake shifted into neutral RPM's revved to 2.5, in drive and reverse dropped to 1.5, in park revved to 2.5, after turn automobile accelerated to steady 40 MPH on city street without gas being pushed at next stop (1 mile) returned to normal idle and operation. Has problem both when cold and hot weather and cold or hot start. It has not produced a check engine light or any codes

When idling the vehicle is idling very high. Also the check engine light is coming on, and while driving the vehicle as you start to let off the accelerator, the vehicle jerks you, almost to the point of getting whiplash. We have had in the shop at least 3-4 times and lots of times for a week at a time. We were told that the check engine light was due to the gas cap, they replaced that, 2 days later it was back on. They also said it was the fuel sensor, replaced that and its still acting as though its not getting enough gas. As far as the jerking of the vehicle they wont tell us what could be causing that. Also the mechanic stated that there was nothing that they could do to resolve these problems. This vehicle is an accident waiting to take others lives.

Power steering hose started have massive leak all of a sudden, and it was replaced the following morning. The power steering fluid had sprayed all over everything under the hood, which included soaking the alternator, which in turn made the alternator start to surge at time, causing the transmission to go in to back up mode, and would not downshift on its own after coming to stop. Also every warning light on the dash board was light up, check engine, battery, o2, auto cruise, low fuel, and check trans. Which was odd cause I had full tank of gas, the battery was showing to be with in range on the voltage gauge, the cruise control was off......and the truck was not doing anything strange, drove fine.

We have had to add 1-2 qts of oil every couple thousand miles although we did not see an oil leak (no marks on the driveway) mechanic could find no oil leak or problem our check engine light has been on,and mechanic said we needed emissions sensor replaced. We did replace it. On our way to thanksgiving in oklahoma from michigan our engine blew ! We are now without that vehicle but still making payments. A dealership in tulsa said that those engines are replaced a lot at his shop due to this problem. He said that there is carbon build up in the valve that goes to the engine causing the oil to burn up. After so long of it being built up it gets clogged and ends up blowing. He said if we had been taking the car to an isuzu dealer to get the oil changed they know about it and can clean it. Problem for us is there isn't an isuzu dealer in the city we live in so we didn't have a chance. I believe isuzu should have sent a letter to trooper owners notifying them of this defect so as not to have to go through this problem since it can be avoided.

Just bought a 98' trooper with the 3.5l. Drove it for 1 week and got the oil changed. Drove it for another week and the check engine light came on. Took it to an auto parts store and had it checked with a handheld scanner. It said low flow through egr valve. Tech said take it off and clean it, should be ok. Next day on the way home motor starts knocking. Babied it home, now knocking very bad. Checked oil, it was dry. No warning! Nothing! I only went 500 miles after the oil change. The truck is going in for a rebuild. This is going to cost $4000. I have not even made a payment on it yet! This is absurd. Now, after the fact, I have read all the forums on this situation. Too late for me. After all this time how is isuzu not being made to be held responsible for this? What about class action? Seems like a great truck otherwise.

I bought my new automobile on the 24th of june 2001. On april 24, 2004 the trooper broke down and I had it towed to sheehy chevrolet dodge isuzu dealership. Before the truck broke down the transmission light and engine light came on. At this time the truck had 56,680 miles on it. I picked the truck up on april 28, 2004 from the sheehy dealership. I paid sheehy $173.22 for the repairs they made and rented a car which cost me $175.61. On may 3, 2004 I took the truck to lindsay chevrolet to be repaired because the engine light had come on and the truck felt like it was about to brake down again. At this time the truck had 56,777 miles on it. On may 11 2004 I took the truck to brown''s buick and isuzu dealership because the engine light had come on again. At this time the truck had 57,140 miles on it. This time the repair work cost me $584.32. On july 22, 2004, I took the truck in for a oil change and told the service consultant about the truck not running right. Near the end of 2004 ( not sure of the exact dates) I had the truck towed to the brown''s dealership. The brown''s dealership had to order a transmission. It took nearly a month for them to get the transmission and repair the truck. So I had to renedt a car. July 5, 2005, I had the truck towed back to browns because the past problems were happening again. Brown''s dealership replaced the transmission once more. I picked the truck up about closing time on the 14th of july 2005. As I was driving home I experience the same problems again. On july 18, 2005, I had the truck towed back to browns. At this time the truck has around 76,000 miles on it. July 20, 2005, max hahne, the service consultant called me and said another transmission is on order because of internal failure in the transmission. So my truck is at the dealership waiting to be fixed again. Should the isuzu corporation or the dealership reimburse me for rental car expenses and or replace the truck because they have a defective product?

Isuzu trooper 1999 problem after problem, engine burning oil. *bf after the engine was replaced, the engine light illuminated at least 30 times.

I have been adding 1-2 quarts of oil every 5,000 miles. Dealership says they cannot find problem. Check engine light came on and they say that the problem is the valve which is not covered under powertrain warranty costing me $470. And they still don't know why I had to add two quarts over the last 2500 miles.
