general problems of the 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara. The contact stated that there was a progressing failure in which the low beams failed to work. The contact had to constantly use the high beams each time the failure happened. The contact was to check with the manufacturer to determine if a dealer may be able to inspect, diagnose and repair the vehicle to prevent the failure. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.

The head lights keep blowing out, especially the left front. I find myself changing this bulb every 3-5 months. Now the high beams do not turn on from the forward position at the steering wheel, they will work when the arm is pulled back with the high beam light indicating they are working, not the same in the forward position. I have checked the fuses and bulb. I am tired of these problems and it is a definite safety hazard. Suzuki should get on board to fix these reoccurring problems for every owner. But since Suzuki no longer exists in the united states, it will be up to NHTSA.

I have replaced the headlamp bulbs 17 times on the vehicle mentioned above the each time they would stop working. Found out there is nothing wrong with the bulbs there is an abnormal operation of the low beam headlamps and the daytime running lamps. They flickered constantly and stopped working one night as my son was driving home from college. He could have been killed!!! we have had the vehicle serviced several times and each mechanic stated there should be a recall. Many people with the same vehicle have posted the same complaint on the internet and I think there should an immediate recall. We cannot drive the vehicle because the lights continue to stop beaming randomly. There is a Suzuki safety recall for this issue on the 2004-2008 forenza and reno and there should be one issued on the Grand Vitara as well.

Low beam headlamps keep blowing every 2 months or so, bulb brand does not seem to effect longevity. It is extremely dangerous when the bulbs blow and you live out in the county where it's pitch black at night!!! and then have to switch to high beams and blind other drivers!!! just to get to a safe place to replace the bulbs. Will never own another Suzuki again and can't wait to afford to trade this death trap off!!!!!!!!!!!!! Suzuki dealer says "it is normal".

My lights are always going out its hard to see at night when they are on and I considered very dangerous and went dealer where I bought it and they tell me they can't fix it just keep changing lights when they go out not good.
