Two problems related to power train have been reported for the 1996 Suzuki Sidekick. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
It seems these troubles are unusual for any car owner and very costly!! the speedometer was relaced by my husband with a part bought online for $50 in one day, where the dealer would have had it for a week and charged us $350. However, the clutch is a much bigger problem. The dealer quoted the part at $51, with labor at $700. I cannot afford to fix this problem that should have never happened in the first place. It is a safety factor, since I could not engage the clutch while the vehicle was in motion, and am terrified to attempt to drive it until it has been properly fixed. Can the manufacturer be held responsible?.
Speedometer cable failed.
