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
