Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had a history (documented) of electrical/transmission problems with my 1991 isuzu trooper. on 11/95, a faulty computer control panel caused my transmission to fail. i had a week left on my powertrain warranty. took the vehicle to isuzu santa monica. they replaced the computer panel under warranty on 11/95. 15 months later, my transmission was failing again. same symptoms. this time, i spent $2,000 to have it repaired. isuzu refused to take responsibility. on 6/12/99, without warning, the engine started smoking and within seconds the entire engine was on fire. the fire dept. came and put out the fire. now the truck is completely totaled. i am in the midst of having insurance inspectors determine the cause of fire. i have all of my service records for the vehicle. it was kept in excellent condition.
