LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT SWITCH STOPPED WORKING. ONLY HIGH BEAMS WORKED. HAD TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH REPLACED AT A COST OF $500. I SEE THAT THE SAME PROBLEM IS CURRENTLY BEING ADDRESSED AND RECALLED ON LATER MODEL ISUZU ASCENDERS AND GM VEHICLES. I BELIEVE ISUZU USED MANY GM PARTS IN THIS TROOPER AND IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL SO THAT I CAN GET REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS. *JS
