Low beam headlight switch stopped working. only high beams worked. had to have the headlight switch replaced at a cost of $500. I see that the same problem IS currently being addressed and recalled on later model isuzu ascenders and gm vehicles. I believe isuzu used many gm parts in this trooper and it should be included in the current recall so that I can get reimbursed for the repairs. *js

My SUV , isuzu trooper of 10years, was parked in a library parking garage and after ignition turned on, I put it in reverse gear to get out of the parking lot and the car rapidly reversed and before I could figure out and react, the car shot like a rocket towards the front , while still in reverse gear, and I had no control of the brakes or steering wheel, it rammed into a concrete pillar and got completely totaled. Airbags opened and front doors jammed and I had slide to the back to escape. Luckily, car did not catch on fire or explode. ( police report verify that after crash, car still found to be in reverse gear and suprised how car moved towards the front). a week ago, prior to this freaky crash, ( luckily no minors, seniors, homeless who usually walk in the parking lot were not present, otherwise, there would have been multiple deaths) my car dealership had done work on my car for nearly $1000.00. And they replaced mode switch for my automatic transmission ( thermostat changed; piston cover changed) and don't know what role it played in my car's crash. I am pretty sure its a malfunction . It needs to be assessed and figured what role the above installation played in the crash which could have had disastrous consequences. Was it due to defective part? insurance company blames it on me and say my premiums will be higher since its at fault accident despite hearing my experience and with evidence of police report which states that my gear was still in reverse. ( after crashing head on against a concrete pillar) thank you for keeping public safety first!

I was driving down the highway doing 60 miles an hour when my "bridgestone tire" separated at the tread and peeled off like a banana and I thought I was going to crash! The tire stayed intact and the bands with no deflation". I am concerned that this tire will be or was a recall. No accident luckily, no injury, luckily because it was on the back passenger. If it was on the front I would of been screwed for I was making a 60 mile an hour curve on the highway with frequent traffic rush hour with a top heavy "isuzu-trooper". this tire needs to be investigated!!!!! Never , at age 46 , seen a tire peel the tread off the radial belt like this like a retread! Must someone die or be hurt before "bridgestone" IS held accountable like in the year 2000 when they had multiple deaths and lawsuits? Thank you , please help. *Tr

We have had to add 1-2 qts of oil every couple thousand miles although we did not see an oil leak (no marks on the driveway) mechanic could find no oil leak or problem our check engine light has been on,and mechanic said we needed emissions sensor replaced. We did replace it. On our way to thanksgiving in oklahoma from michigan our engine blew ! We are now without that vehicle but still making payments. A dealership in tulsa said that those engines are replaced a lot at his shop due to this problem. He said that there IS carbon build up in the valve that goes to the engine causing the oil to burn up. After so long of it being built up it gets clogged and ends up blowing. He said if we had been taking the car to an isuzu dealer to get the oil changed they know about it and can clean it. Problem for us IS there isn't an isuzu dealer in the city we live in so we didn't have a chance. I believe isuzu should have sent a letter to trooper owners notifying them of this defect so as not to have to go through this problem since it can be avoided. *Jb

I own a 2001 isuzu trooper that started using excessive oil (1+ quarts every 1000 miles) at 54,000 miles. I have found numerous complaints about this starting when isuzu introduced the 3.5L V6 engine. my research has shown the problem to be a bad design change of the oil ring not allowing oil to drain properly. isuzu IS terrible to work with and fights to not honor warranties. why has this not been investigated by nhtsa after all the complaints received about this problem? isuzu has terrible customer relations and does not stand behind their vehicles when there IS a problem. still battling with isuzu and bbb.*jb

I bought my new automobile on the 24TH of june 2001. on april 24, 2004 the trooper broke down and I had it towed to sheehy chevrolet dodge isuzu dealership. Before the truck broke down the transmission light and engine light came on. At this time the truck had 56,680 miles on it. I picked the truck up on april 28, 2004 from the sheehy dealership. I paid sheehy $173.22 for the repairs they made and rented a car which cost me $175.61. on may 3, 2004 I took the truck to lindsay chevrolet to be repaired because the engine light had come on and the truck felt like it was about to brake down again. At this time the truck had 56,777 miles on it. on may 11 2004 I took the truck to brown''s buick and isuzu dealership because the engine light had come on again. At this time the truck had 57,140 miles on it. This time the repair work cost me $584.32. on july 22, 2004, I took the truck in for a oil change and told the service consultant about the truck not running right. near the end of 2004 ( not sure of the exact dates) I had the truck towed to the brown''s dealership. The brown''s dealership had to order a transmission. It took nearly a month for them to get the transmission and repair the truck. So I had to renedt a car. july 5, 2005, I had the truck towed back to browns because the past problems were happening again. Brown''s dealership replaced the transmission once more. I picked the truck up about closing time on the 14TH of july 2005. As I was driving home I experience the same problems again. on july 18, 2005, I had the truck towed back to browns. At this time the truck has around 76,000 miles on it. July 20, 2005, max hahne, the service consultant called me and said another transmission IS on order because of internal failure in the transmission. So my truck IS at the dealership waiting to be fixed again. should the isuzu corporation or the dealership reimburse me for rental car expenses and or replace the truck because they have a defective product?

- 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.
