Isuzu Trooper Electrical System Wiring Interior/under Dash Safety Report | June 12, 1999
Reported on June 12, 1999
| I HAVE HAD A HISTORY (DOCUMENTED) OF ELECTRICAL/TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH MY 1991 ISUZU TROOPER. ON 11/95, A FAULTY COMPUTER CONTROL PANEL CAUSED MY TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. I HAD A WEEK LEFT ON MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ISUZU SANTA MONICA. THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER PANEL UNDER WARRANTY ON 11/95. 15 MONTHS LATER, MY TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING AGAIN. SAME SYMPTOMS. THIS TIME, I SPENT $2,000 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. ISUZU REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. ON 6/12/99, WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE STARTED SMOKING AND WITHIN SECONDS THE ENTIRE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPT. CAME AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. NOW THE TRUCK IS COMPLETELY TOTALED. I AM IN THE MIDST OF HAVING INSURANCE INSPECTORS DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FIRE. I HAVE ALL OF MY SERVICE RECORDS FOR THE VEHICLE. IT WAS KEPT IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. | |
