1998 Isuzu Trooper S review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced A/C compressor at 135,000.
Intake manifold gasket at 80,000.
EGR valve at 75,000.
Oxygen sensor at 12,000, fixed under warranty.
General comments?
This is a great SUV, 2nd one I have owned. Same problems as everyone else. Uses quart of oil every 800 miles. It is a strong truck, has held up very well. EGR valve issues - just needs to be cleaned every time the check engine light comes on.
