Transmission Slipping
Some Trooper owners have faced issues related to transmission slipping. But, as of 2010, the company hasn’t announced any recall concerning this transmission issue. The consumers clearly point out the sliding to the transmission bands draining inside the SUV.

Generally, the gearbox filter gathers most of the wreckage caused by wear of the transmission gears.
When the filter is blocked with transmission debris, then it won’t permit the free flow of fresh fluid inside the gearbox gears, which inturn creates more friction, resulting transmission to trot hotter, and eventually leading to transmission failure.
