Consumes Oil

Purchased used at 58,000 miles for $9500. Found out later that engine was defective and consumed 1qt of oil every 500 miles. Not original owner, so no warranty. Further research revealed 2 different types of 3.5 engine problems for model year 2000. Oversized bores and not enough piston ring drain back holes. Currently have 93,000 and am using 20w-50 synthetic to reduce the consumption rate. Overall a good vehicle for what we paid for it. No real issues other than oil consumption.

My 2000 Trooper

This is my second Trooper - bought it new in 2000, replaced my 1991. Huge improvement. I really wish that Isuzu was still in the auto business and made these because I have no idea what I will replace it with. I have used this vehicle in every way possible. My one complaint is that the motor uses oil, has since new.

I have had a lot of problems with this vehicle. It has been in the shop a lot over the last 3 years, torque converter problems, shorted wire in the 4 WD area, to a blown engine. That's right, my engine started a loud knocking on a trip. Who knows what the problem was, the dealership said it was out of oil, but I religiously change and check my oil. I checked it immediately after the problem started and the oil level was fine. Anyway, Isuzu replaced the engine at their expense, but I was without a vehicle for 10 days. Now I have a rattle coming from the 4 WD area and Isuzu won't fix it since I am out of my warantee period.

We have had no problems with this vehicle to date. Back seat is extremely comfortable for the kids when traveling.

Well, here it goes: I bought it used, when i was 16 (i'm 18 now). It had only 22,500 miles on it, and for $17,500 i bought it. The transmission went around 30,000, luckily it was under warranty so Isuzu replaced it. But to not have a car for 2 weeks was crazy. Then recently I had my check engine light come on. (49,000 miles). Took it to the dealer and it ended up being a coil that held one of my spark plugs. Replaced it and the cost was originally $410.00, I complained and got it for 318.00. I was angry but hey, I need my car. The Trooper is now driven mostly on the highway because I'm away at school. Nice to drive too.(GREAT in the SNOW!).
