TL* the contact owns a 2000 isuzu trooper. While driving at 35 mph, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning lights illuminated. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was diagnosed by the owner as a certified mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 152,000.
- Tires
I had my truck serviced and was told by garage that my sidewall on all 4 of my tires are splitting. I told him they only had a little over 20000 miles on them and the truck was always garaged that they could not be splitting. He showed me and the sidewall IS indeed splitting. I researched and found other instances of this happening with these tires resulting in crashes. *js

I checked my oil level 3 weeks ago and it was fine. I change my oil every 3000 miles. I added a quart 3 days ago for a long trip I was taking. while driving down to billings, mt, my car suddenly stopped. It had not overheated or shown a warning sign. My car was bone dry of oil! the engine has seized. I did everything right...this IS clearly a design flaw in the car. *Tr

After maintaining our 2000 isuzu trooper by the book and being fully aware of the oil consumption problem, it blew the engine at 103000. I kept very good documentation of all the repairs- and there were a lot of them, isuzu IS not backing their powertrain warranty (120,000 miles)because they found a way to get away with it by saying because I didn't have actual receipts for every oil change even though I did many myself and documented dates and mileage, they are not responsible. I've done some research which was easy because its such a common problem, but didn't find much on any trooper owners satisfied or fairly treated by isuzu. The sticker price was $32,000 when I purchased it in 2000 I fully expected to get more than 103,000 out of it. If anyone has any luck with the same problem,please let me know and in the mean time im going to do as much as I can to fight this. *Tr

The trooper of 2000 has the same main problem that thousands of other owners have - excessive oil consumption. What bothers me IS that manufacturer absolutely does not care about what consumers say. There IS no answer, no explanations, no recalls. Well, here IS my answer - I will never buy any isuzu product again, neither me, nor my friends or relatives. The whole world knows about this major isuzu trooper problem which IS not comfortable and safe to the owners. But the manufacturer couldn't care less. *ak

Vehicle uses excessive oil. This IS a common problem with the 3.6L in 2000. Check the isuzu forum online. On highway trips, uses 1 quart every 200 miles.

Vehicle uses excessive oil. This IS a common problem with the 3.6L in 2000. Check the isuzu forum online. On highway trips, uses 1 quart every 200 miles. On shorter trips in town, can go 500 to 700 miles before needing a quart. It doesn't leak, and doesn't burn. The problem IS caused by the oil not draining down after being pushed on top the cylinders. It eventually has to be burned, or sent through the exhaust, particularly on long trips. On shorter trips, you stop before to much IS burned off or pushed out, so it drains back. The oil drain back holes are to small and to few. I'm told there are 4, but on later engines there are 10 per cylinder. Isuzu should be made to own up to the design problem and fix the engines. I bought mine at 22,000 miles, and now have 100,000, and it has always done this, but gotten progressively worse. *jb

Dt*: the contact stated while driving 60 mph the oil light intermittently illuminated. the vehicle was pulled over and the contact checked the level of oil. the oil level was not full, and oil needed to be added. the oil light then stayed off. when the vehicle started again, the light illuminated again and the engine began to knock and would not respond. the vehicle was towed to an independent repair shop which determined the crankshaft had gone bad and the rods and pistons were burned. as a result the engine must be replaced. updated 3/17/2006 - *nm

I was driving home @ 12AM had about 76 miles to go I heard a little bit of knocking I was trying to pull over and all of a sudden everything shut down and locked up. I was standing on the brakes and hanging on to the steering wheel trying to get across a lane and off to the side of the road and coast to a safe area. with no warning lights or warning what so ever my vehicle's engine seized and it was over that fast. I have maintained my vehicle with oil changes and now they are saying I had a sudden loss of oil and was lacking lubrication and rod # 1 broke and # 6 in wedged in the block and something else. hello when they took the engine apart there was 2.5 quarts in the pan and the rest on the engine what do you mean lack of lubrication. they said this was an unusual circumstance and I have to come up with about 4500 to fix it. get this I bought the extended warranty from honda care (apco for the used vehicles) they said it IS unfortunate this happened to you but we will not cover it! this IS a mystery and no one understands what happened but I have read numerous complaint on message boards and this IS not an unusual problem. I don't recommend isuzu to anyone after all I have read. Also honda care (apco)for used cars they will find a way to tell you no not there problem. second time they will not cover something for me. I paid $1000 for the warranty and all they can say IS sorry for your loss! the dealership IS trying and trying to get them to honor it and apco wants what the defected part that caused failure. nobody knows! Dealership IS great and a very big dealership @ that and they seem to care about me and my situation and not just telling me to go away. Great people 2ND car I got from them. Dealership who sells this extended warranties believe this IS ridiculous and feel it should be fixed. *Jb

My wife stepped on brake pedal to shift into drive the brake went to the floor, I went out to try it myself & got same result. after opening the hood I noticed master cylinder was at a 45 degree angle to the right, the bolt on the vacuum booster had snapped of which damaged the booster & pedal function. if this had happened during vehicle was in motion it could of had severe consequences. I notified isuzu of america to see if it was covered on our warranty they said no , I asked you don't want to do anything about a defect like this, the answer was still no. I find this disturbing since I am a auto body tech/appraiser and I felt you should be informed of this episode. Any response would be help full thankfully she did not try and drive this car & I was at home to see it I have pictures , dealer has vehicle. Here IS the reps name & number john quilan 678-977-1287 . dealer number attn tom toppan (they have been great) 508-697-3113 . im not sure hwo this works so I will place it under defective equipment on original car. *jb

Prior to leaving on trip from minnesota to montana I checked the oil and it was fine. just outside billings, mt my engine made a loud banging sound followed by engine power loss and finally the warning lights on the dash. zero oil registered in the engine. diagnosed as a seized crank by the isuzu dealership. 70,100 miles and a seized engine out of warranty since I bought the truck used. $6,000 for a new engine does not make fiscal sense given the wholesale value of truck was $7500.*jb

I kept track of its oil level and on the final 200 miles of driving it used about a 1/2 quart of oil. the truck has 56,000 miles on it and IS in otherwise excellent condition. I have looked at other sites and found this to be a common flaw with the 3.5 liter motor.

I have either changed at my work (a local chevrolet dealership) or at my own home.*ak the last time I changed my oil was 2 months ago (9/25/04) at 47900 miles and on (11/24/04) with 49800 miles the oil light flashed at me when I came to a stop about a block from my home then went out. once I got home I checked the oil and it did not register on the dipstick at all. I started to pour in oil it took all of 4 quarts of oil to fill it full. this IS an on going problem with my vehicle being I have been trying to keep record of it as I was advised by a repair shop months ago when I first noticed the problem with this vehicle shortly after I purchased it. I believe by now I am over the 60 month warranty per isuzu but I will check on that (11/26/04), but I also have an extended warranty through heritage that I purchased with the trooper. I am probably one of the few that may get this taken care of on someone else's dime. but I personally know that this IS a known problem by the manufacturer and there are many people out there with this same type of vehicle with this problem as I have seen on the internet. All you have to do IS type "oil consumption 2000 isuzu trooper" and have fun, it will keep you busy all day. I believe the manufacture should do something about this problem.

- 10112600This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician with the axel setup information from American Axle Manufacturing. Technician should be advised that the maximum pinion shim to be used or stacked behind the pinion is 0.050?, and the minimum pinion shim is 0.020? for an 8.6 axle. The range for available pinion depth shims for the 10.5? axle is 0.006? to 0.024?. When setting the backlash it should be set between 0.003? to 0.005? on a new ring and pinion for any American Axle Manufacturing application. The ring and pinion can be reused or adjusted if the mileage is less than 500 miles, if not used for towing. Technician should be advised that a ?roller coaster? or ?hourglass? pattern on the bearings may be normal up to 10,000 miles and possibly longer. With a mis-machined housing you may get a heel pattern on both sides of the gear teeth at build up can generally be corrected with backlash adjustments. When setting up an 8.6? axle with a 5 cut gear set is to use a 0.035? pinion shim and set backlash to 0.004?. When using the newer 2 cut gear set also use a 0.035? pinion shim and still set backlash to 0.004?. To set the gear pattern use backlash to adjust the pattern heel to toe. Use the pinion shim to adjust the height of the pattern. The proper drive pinion bearing pre-load is from 15 - 30 inch pounds with new bearings. The total torque to turn after the differential case is installed should increase 5 - 10 inch pounds at the pinion. A new pinion nut must be used whenever the old one is removed. The axle shaft end play specification is 0.012? per side and the radial specification is 0.002? - 0.003?. Technician should be advised that synthetic lube can be used in all new American Axle Manufacturing axle assemblies. The new pinion seal for the 8.6? axle assembly is a two piece design.
