1999 Isuzu Trooper Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“I purchased my Trooper new. I have all of the print outs of the oil changes made which are at or below recommended intervals. At approximately. 25000 miles I reported a shifting problem and they replaced the transfer case because metal filings were found in it. Then 2000 miles later the problem re-occurred and they replaced the entire transmission. It was bought in back 500 miles later for and adjustment on this again. At 40000 miles the cd player jammed and they replaced this with a new one that took 8 weeks to receive. We had followed the directions in the manual. …”

“Isuzu Trooper 1999 problem after problem, engine burning oil. After the engine was replaced, the engine light illuminated at least 30 times. The dealer gave the consumer all types of excuses until finally they said they didn't know what was causing the light to illuminate. There were other problems such as a hard shift with the transmission, water leaking through the sun roof, difficulty starting the vehicle, uneven tire wear, in just 65,000 the consumer has gone through 3 complete sets of tires. …”

“While driving south on us interstate 89 near montpelier, vt, pulled over to adjust stuck windshield wiper (due to snow). After exiting highway via exit ramp and parking in a parking lot, returned towards highway after about a 5 minute delay. As was accelerating up the on ramp, transmission let go and engine revved. Transmission would no longer shift and remained stuck in 2nd gear. Limped to nearest service station. Vehicle was towed to Isuzu dealership where metal was found in the tranny pan upon inspection indicating transmission failure. …”

“I bought a 1999 Isuzu Trooper limited edition 1 year ago this month. Since buying it I have had the starter replaced, the alternator replaced twice, the small block was bad because of a failure with the dipstick to read the correct amount of oil. My son was involved in a mva due to the fact that the vehicle would not stop as the engine decided to race while he was coming to a slow stop. Thank god no one was injured in the accident. The car revs up at an idle at a stop or slowing down position, and now the vehicle is in the garage because the transmission is bad and the alternator went again. …”

“Alternator problems: I was driving on an interstate the car just shut down in the middle of traffic, had it towed, took 3 days to get car back, put in the second alternator, it quit also, again in traffic had to have it towed. Transmission: was driving the in traffic, tried to drive, and the car just sat there, wouldn't go, had transmission put in, two weeks later transmission went out had another transmission put in. 1999 Trooper-apparently these have GM transmissions..”
