general problems of the 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara

Bought this used, but I have had to replace the lights, high beams, day runners since owning this Grand Vitara too many times. I know I have purchased over 15 different light bulbs as they keep blowing out? while driving, they are so dim and then they stop working. This is a hazard and these bulbs shouldn't have to be replaced this many times. Also while driving they blow, or stationary as well, I have made it a habit now to check them before driving since they go out as much as they do. Something needs to be done regarding this ongoing problem & it needs to be done ASAP. It is obvious that there has to be a major problem with the lighting for me to have to continue to buy bulbs on a constant basis, and as for mileage that needs to be put in on this form there have been too many times at different mileage readings so it is hard to say what the mileage is on the vehicle when the lights blow out.

I've had this vehicle for 6 years in that 6 years I can not even tell you how many times I've had to replace the bulbs in the head ligths, at least every 4 months. This is a on going issue with these vehicles I can not believe Suzuki has not been put in a position to issue a recall. This is a manufacturing error and Suzuki knows it.

Within a few months of purchasing the vehicle, I had to begin replacing low beam head lamps, seemingly during random starts the bulb would blow out on either the passenger or drivers side, with very little use behind it. Some lamps lasted as little as a few weeks, others lasted more than a year, but the bulbs needed a significantly higher rate of replacement than any other vehicle ive ever driven. I have replaced multiple low beam lamps - 6 driver side lamps, and 8 passenger side in only 5 years of owning the vehicle and less than 20k miles driver per year. No help from Suzuki on the matter. And I only buy quality bulbs from brand name manufacturers at reputable parts stores.

I have replaced approx. 150 low beam headlamps, they blow out at least once a month.
