2008 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA

Filed Mar 4, 2026


While stopped at traffic light at idle, I can hear a knocking noise in the engine compartment. Took it to my mechanic, and believe it is coming from the lower engine. He removed the oil pan and found that the rod and crankshaft bearing has movement. The car is 2008 and only has 36,000 miles.

2012 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA

Filed Feb 20, 2026


The airbag system defect light went on and stayed on. The diagnosis from an authorized former Suzuki dealer (Lincoln of Wayne, Wayne, New Jersey), charging approximately $270 for the diagnosis, was that the occupant sensing pad including the bottom seat on the passenger side had failed. This particular part had already been replaced under an NHTSA-related safety recall campaign approximately three years ago. The replaced part had not previously actually failed, but now the replacement part…

On my Suzuki XL-7, I have 2 recalls: 1. Fuel pump 2. Windshield clamp. I'm trying to find a dealer to repair the recalls? Can you provide to me any Phoenix area dealer that can fix these two recalls? Thanks.

The contact owns a 2013 Suzuki Kizashi. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended.

2024 SUZUKI DL800

Filed Sep 6, 2025


Headlight does not provide adequate illumination at night, making riding extremely dangerous.

2017 SUZUKI DL650

Filed Aug 11, 2025


This motorcycle has been garage kept. It is in mint condition with 2114 miles on the odometer. It was purchased new in 2018. In 2024 the ABS light on the instrumentation illuminated. I tested the brakes to see if the ABS still worked, but it does not work. The rear tire can be locked up to skid, and the ABS does nothing. It used to work in years prior, as I had tested it in the past by applying heavy rear brakes. According to the manual, the error code #35 indicates a faulty…

2023 SUZUKI GSX-S1000

Filed Aug 7, 2025


I am submitting a formal complaint regarding a stalling issue with my 2023 Suzuki GSX-S1000GT+. Issue Summary: The motorcycle starts normally when cold. However, once I begin riding and pull in the clutch to stop (such as at a stop sign or traffic light), the engine stalls unexpectedly. The stalling occurs intermittently during this phase and continues until the engine reaches full operating temperature. At that point, the issue no longer occurs. When the engine stalls and I attempt to…
