1998 Isuzu Trooper review from North America
"A versatile SUV and terrific when it is running right!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intake manifold gasket replaced at 35 and 59 thousand miles.
Fuel pressure sensor replaced at 40k miles.
Cruise control failed (short) at 50k miles.
Main Electronic Control Unit computer (very expensive!) shorted out at 85k miles.
Rear main wiring harness broke at 86k miles.
General comments?
Factory parts are incredibly expensive. Dealer required repair is a huge expense.
Routine maintenance is reasonable and can be done by any mechanic.
