Isuzu Trooper Power Train Automatic Transmission Safety Report | July 15, 1997
Reported on July 15, 1997
| FIRST VISIT TO DEALER FOR WARRANTY SERVICE RESULTED IN NOTHING BEING DONE. WAS TOLD THAT TAPPING NOISE WAS A NORMAL ENGINE SOUND, ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE WASN'T MAKING THAT SOUND WHEN I PURCHASED IT NEW. SECOND VISIT TO DEALER, AFTER ENGINE NOISE BECAME INCREASINGLY LOUDER, RESULTED IN THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION BEING REPLACED. CAR WAS IN SHOP FOR ALMOST THREE WEEKS. A THIRD AND FOURTH VISIT FOR THE SAME TAPPING NOISE IN THE ENGINE RESULTED IN MORE TRANSMISSION WORK TO REPLACE A CRACKED FLYWHEEL AND O-RING BEARING, ALL OF WHICH HAVE BE REPLACED NOW THREE TIMES. PROBLEM SEEMS TO RE-OCCUR ABOUT EVERY 5000-7000 MILES. OBVIOUSLY THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPT. HAS YET TO IDENTIFY AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS IT KEEPS HAPPENING. | |
