| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 1999 isuzu trooper that i purchased on 7/27/02 with 67,000 miles on the odometer. it now has 72,800 miles. it is a v6 with automatic transmission, and is in excellent shape. during my ownership, at four separate occasions, as i was coming to a stop at about the 5 mph mark, the throttle has opened fully while in gear! i have had to "panic brake" the vehicle and push the transmission selector to "neutral". when i have done this, the engine has raced to 6000 rpm+ and held, so i have had to turn-off the ignition switch each time. after gathering my nerves, i have restarted the engine. the first three occurrences happened in traffic, so the problem has been a real safety concern. last night, this problem happened in my own driveway. i nearly "took-out" my garage. after keying-off the ignition, i restarted the engine. the engine raced a second time while the transmission was in "neutral", so i shut it off again. i then turned it on again and the engine went to idle. this problem is pretty "hairy", and on monday i intend to call the local isuzu dealer (billings, montana). but, i really think this complaint needs to be brought to the isuzu technical people. thanks for your time. |
