| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I puchased my 2000 isuzu trooper in february 2004 with 36,000 miles on the engine. since then i have changed my own oil every 3,000 miles religiously. i have either changed at my work (a local chevrolet dealership) or at my own home.*ak the last time i changed my oil was 2 months ago (9/25/04) at 47900 miles and on (11/24/04) with 49800 miles the oil light flashed at me when i came to a stop about a block from my home then went out. once i got home i checked the oil and it did not register on the dipstick at all. i started to pour in oil it took all of 4 quarts of oil to fill it full. this is an on going problem with my vehicle being i have been trying to keep record of it as i was advised by a repair shop months ago when i first noticed the problem with this vehicle shortly after i purchased it. i believe by now i am over the 60 month warranty per isuzu but i will check on that (11/26/04), but i also have an extended warranty through heritage that i purchased with the trooper. i am probably one of the few that may get this taken care of on someone else's dime. but i personally know that this is a known problem by the manufacturer and there are many people out there with this same type of vehicle with this problem as i have seen on the internet. all you have to do is type "oil consumption 2000 isuzu trooper" and have fun, it will keep you busy all day. i believe the manufacture should do something about this problem. |
