| Power Train problems |
Car was running fine. I was driving southbound in 3 / 6 lane traffic 45 mph in town when a loud knock started knocking under the hood. I immediately pulled off the road as soon as I found a place to pull off otherwise could have stalled causing a major crash of vehicles. I called aaa to have it towed. The repair shop in my neighborhood said I needed a new engine. Car has 72,072 miles on it. The 7 year warranty ran out July 24, 2016. This happened less than 6 months after warranty and 9 months after last car payment. It hasn't reached 100,000 yet for the drive train. Pretty sad.
After 38,000 miles and less than 3 years, my Suzuki needs a new drive belt and tensioner according to the dealership. My warranty just ran out. According to research I have done online this belt should last at least 60,000 miles and the tensioner much longer. They are quoting me 450. 00 to repair. Ridiculous!.
