1999 Isuzu Trooper review from North America
"Gotta love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Throttle body needed cleaning, dealer failed to clean.
Shift on the fly inoperable, probably dirty sensor.
Dealer mechanic failed to install a vacuum hose correctly - caused months and several dealers to resolve, it was hard to find, but a smoke test found it.
Chatter in the rear when first accelerating, kind of a grabbing effect. Only when from a dead stop and then slips on acceleration.
Don't use MP3 CD's. Changer broke.
General comments?
All in all, poor maintenance by the dealer is the biggest problem. I love this truck. Just wish I could find a good mechanic.
Yeah I know it takes a quart of oil; get over it.
Love the sun roof, biggest I've ever seen.
Original owner.
