problem #3

Jan 011999

Trooper 4WD

  • miles
When coming to a full stop or when starting accelerating from a full stop, the truck will make a noise like something bumped it from the rear. I was told it was problem on the transmission, but the dealer refused to take a look at it when reported for the second time. The first time they said that they could not find anything wrong.

problem #2

Jul 151997

Trooper 4WD

  • miles
First visit to dealer for warranty service resulted in nothing being done. Was told that tapping noise was a normal engine sound, although the engine wasn't making that sound when I purchased it new. Second visit to dealer, after engine noise became increasingly louder, resulted in the entire transmission being replaced. Car was in shop for almost three weeks. A third and fourth visit for the same tapping noise in the engine resulted in more transmission work to replace a cracked flywheel and O-ring bearing, all of which have be replaced now three times. Problem seems to re-occur about every 5000-7000 miles. Obviously the dealer's service dept. Has yet to identify and correct the problem as it keeps happening.
