Isuzu Trooper Engine And Engine Cooling Engine Safety Report | July 14, 2004
Reported on July 14, 2004
| I HAVE A 1999 ISUZU TROOPER THAT HAS A CHRONIC OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. I HAD THE DEALER REPLACE PISTON RINGS AT 22,000 MILES BUT IT DID NOT SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE PROBLEM. NO, I AM NOTICING A NUMBER OF TROOPER OWNS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM OR EVEN WITH ENGINES THAT HAVE SEIZED FROM A DIRECT RESULT OF THE PROBLEM. I SPOKE TO THE LOCAL ISUZU SERVICE REP IN NEW JERSEY AND HE FINALLY OWNED UP TO THE FACT THAT MY PARTICULAR YEAR HAS A KNOW ENGINE DEFECT THAT WILL CAUSE IT TO BURN OIL. I BURN IT AT A RATE OF APPROXIMATELY 700 MILES TO A QUART OF OIL. THE REP HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD REPLACE THE ENGINE BUT WITH THE REPLACEMENT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE I WOULD GET BETTER THAN 1000 MILES PER QUART OF OIL. *LA | |
