NHTSA Complaint #740311 — 2000 ISUZU TROOPER

ENGINE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY BACK IN OCTOBER (ABOUT ONCE A WEEK FOR THREE WEEKS) TOLD THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH OUR FOOT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR BEFORE STARTING THE CAR. CAME ON AGAIN AND I DROVE IT RIGHT IN AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. WATCH OUR DRIVING HABITS! CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR 9 DAYS STRAIGHT. BROUGHT IT OUT AND DEALER SAID IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN THEY HAD IT BUT AFTER DOING THE OIL CHANGE THEY STARTED UP THE CAR AND SAID THAT IT CAME ON AND NEEDED A THROTTLE ADJUSTMENT. BROUGHT IT BACK OUT FOR THE THROTTLE ADJUSTMENT AND PROBLEM SEEMED TO HAVE DISSAPPEARED. ONE DAY IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. BROUGHT IT OUT AND THE COMPUTER ACKNOWLEDGED ANOTHER MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO THE THROTTLE WAS NEEDED. THEY DID THIS AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO HAVE GONE AWAY. MONDAY, JANUARY 29, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, IT CAME ON AND SIMULTANEOUSLY THE REDUCED POWER LIGHT CAME ON. THIS TIME DEALERS CAME AND GOT THE CAR AND FIVE TROUBLE CODES REGISTERED ON THE COMPUTER. FIXED PROBLEM AGAIN AND RESET THE COMPUTER. I HAVE HAD IT! THERE IS NO RHYME TO REASON AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENS AND WE DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL! I CANNOT RELY ON THIS CAR!*AK
