2001 Isuzu Trooper Anniversary Edition review from North America
"I will never buy another Trooper based off these problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Trooper was purchased used in 03' with 32,000 miles. My first transmission problem started at 38,000 miles, at which point I found out that the trans had been replaced at 30,000 as well. I had to have it replaced again at 43,000. The warranty expired at 50,000, and now at 63,000 the transmission has gone out yet again. This will be the fifth transmission in this car, that is one per year, or every 15,000 miles. Isuzu refuses to help because the car is out of warranty. Dealing with Isuzu has been a constant pain, as you can never speak directly to the decision maker. Seems odd that this problem keeps occuring year after year. Now I am looking at a $5500 expense to replace the transmission, and I have an unsellable vehicle.
