2000 ISUZU TROOPER
This model year
What the record shows
The 2000 Isuzu Trooper is a four-wheel-drive SUV, and the 17th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1984 to 2002.
The EPA rated two configurations: a single 3.5-litre six-cylinder engine, 4-wheel or all-wheel drive only, two transmissions and running on regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy is 15 mpg.
The federal record holds 49 owner complaints and 50 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
