NHTSA complaint #10113417, filed 2005-03, 40,000 miles“I drove too close to the edge of the pavement and the two right wheels dropped off the pavement and when I tried to pull the car back onto the pavement, the right front wheel struck the pavement in such a way causing the tie-rod to break which left the right front wheel in a full left turn position, I lost control of the steering wheel and the vehicle continued down the road in a left turn arc causing the vehicle to slide broadside into a ditch which caused the vehicle to roll three times--stopping in the upright position, totalling the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #764849, filed 2002-07“Floor under seat is not insulated and covered only with a flap of carpet that is cut from one side of each seat to the other side and therefore lays loosely over raw metal with numerous holes , allowing heat and fumes to enter driver compartment. Manufacturer and dealer states that this is the way all Trooper s are made.”
