The vehicle was shipped to a Suzuki dealer in puerto rico and then shipped back to the USA. Once shipped to puerto rico, Suzuki provides a specific VIN as vehicles exported out of the USA. The vehicle was shipped back to USA in 2009 and ever since I have received three safety recall notifications to have done by local Suzuki dealer. We contacted the local Suzuki dealers several times and the VIN does not appear in their system at all. I been told they will not service my vehicle being that it was ship from puerto rico and the only place they would fix the recall would be there. I have contacted corporate Suzuki multiple times and been told they can't do much to try to negotiate with the dealer again which has refused to do the service. I have been many hours explaining my situation to different individuals from dealer and Suzuki and never come to a solution after several months. I'm told that vehicles shipped to puerto rico (us territory) and back to us are not covered under these safety recalls despite I am receiving the notification to my ohio address. Its been several months we been trying to solve this issue and always get the run around. One of the recall is related to air bags and differential train locking due to faulty seal. The vehicle was being driven by my daughter for school and we've now have restricted her from driving the vehicle concerned for these issues. We would appreciate any support or assistance you may provide to solving this issue.

I have received a recall notice for my vehicle. The Suzuki dealership (facility) in my town has been closed. The recall scheduling contact (twice) has refered me to an out of town (Toyota) dealership in naples, florida. Of course, Suzuki in no longer sold in the us. The drive distance would prevent me from leaving my vehicle without unnecessary added time and inconvenience. I requested a local more convenient dealership to do the repair, but have been refused. What is the policy on recalls for this situation? I would like to have the repair done in a fort myers dealer.

While driving, belt tensioner seized breaking belt and over heating car. Both belt tensioners have been replaced. There is a recall for the power steering/fan tensioner. Not for the water pump/alternator pulley/tensioner.

I have repeatedly contacted clay cooley Suzuki in arlington TX because I received the safety recall notice , recall identification code "vd". I called them on 8/20 and was told it would be about 2 weeks until the parts came in. I have tried repeatedly to call them, only to be put on hold until I could not hold any longer. My airbag light is on and the passenger safety light is on as well. This is the worst dealership in the whole arlington area, and I am so regretful I ever went to them to buy this vehicle. How can I get this safety part for my vehicle before something bad happens? I have waited for over 2 months now.

Restarted the car and put in reverse to see if it would die again and tthe car tried to die so I put in park and cut the engine off and parking brake would still not release.

The vehicle would randomly performing in very odd manners such as stalling while driving down the highway, electrical systems (lights, stereo, etc) turning off and on randomly, reducing speed ignoring accelerator position as well as many others. Several visits to different mechanics found no issues with the vehicle. While sitting on the side of the road at one point waiting for a tow truck I noticed that the passenger floor was soaking wet and we had not had rain for many days. After doing my own investigating I found that the drain pan for the a/c condenser is located inside the car behind the stereo just to the left of the glove box. The drain pan has a hose that routes through the firewall and drains onto the ground from under the hood. This drain hose became clogged and as a result all of the water from the a/c condensation was overflowing and draining directly onto the ecu and then onto the passenger floor. This water was causing the ecu to misbehave which was creating a dangerous situation but by time the vehicle was taken to a mechanic the water had dried and the car was behaving properly. Once the drain hose was cleared there were no further problems. After checking on some Suzuki forums I found a couple others that had the same situation arise. It's a fix that takes less than a half hour and requires no parts but not one that mechanics know about and creates a dangerous situation with the computer acting unpredictably and frequently causing the car to stall in the middle of the roadway.

I have almost 27,400 miles on my truck and the tires are dry rotted which they shouldnt be like that I do not drive far at all I am a very unsatisfied customer the tire sizes are p225 70 r16.

Every morning I head off to work when the vehicle is cold, I start the vehicle, I put into drive as I accelerate to about 10 miles I hear a rattling sound from underneath the vehicle. This sounds happens even when the car is warm accelerating from a stopped position, such as being at a stoplight. I had the vehicle in the repair shop at the dealer where I purchased the vehicle. The dealer's service department said it was the heat shield for the catalytic converter. I left the vehicle overnight, in order for the service department to experience the annoying sound, when they test drove it the following morning. Here I am about seven months later with the problem. I believe it is something more serious than a heat shield. I have scheduled a second appointment to have the same issue repaired. I have been research the issue online and see that this been an ongoing issue with Suzukis.

I have a 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara. I have changed the driver's side low beam bulb four times and the passenger's side two times. I recently replaced the fan motor twice and the resistor once. I had to replaced the erg after my check engine light came on. Now they are saying there is exhaust in my coolent system. The only part the warranty cover was one fan motor.

I recently purchased a 2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara. After purchasing the vehicle I realized that the rear head restraints folded forward (to allow for ease of viewing through the rear of the vehicle by the driver). These head restraints do not lock up and fold over very easily. It is likely that if the vehicle stopped suddenly or strick something from behind that these head restraints would fold foward. When forwrd these restraints rest at the base of my neck at about the c1-c2 junction. This location is the most common source of severe spinal damage and paralysis when injured. While I am hopeful that noone has been injured yet, I am not pleased with Suzuki's response which was essentially that the nhsta tested the vehicle and passed so it must be safe. I cannot believe that this head restraint was a party to any direct impact crash tresting with rear occuppants (wither with or without the restain in the down position. My hope is that it is tested to determine its safety before some one's life is forever altered. This needs to be recalled immediately in my opinion. As for my Grand Vitara. I have removed my head restraints and would rather risk whiplash than paralysis.

Vehicle low beam headlights appear to have shadow - visibility only 5 -10 feet in front of car. Have replace headlamp buckets and problem remains. Dangerous to drive at night.

From the time of purchase July 6, 2002, brakes squeaked excessively/constantly loud even after replacement of rotors twice and shaving them. The problem persisted with premature fix and problem then reoccurred. Remote did not lock/unlock vehicle. Control module replaced. Passenger side door rattled while driving. Tire did not hold pressure. There was vehicle pull. Tire pressure checked out ok. Consumer requested replacement vehicle.
