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…

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…

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…
