Update: So it has been approx 2 years since I got both rear shocks replaced under warranty (with old parts) as Suzuki Australia / Dealer told me they can't get the new redesigned stopper shocks and guess what? The noise is back!!! Which means they have failed again... Will be bringing back to the de...

Thanks everyone - ok here's the update: So the car has been with the dealer since yesterday and everyone has agreed that the noise is quite bad and not normal. Just got a call not long ago and been advised that both rear shock absorbers will be replaced under warranty :D BUT - they can't be 100% sur...

Odometer reading is around 29,000 (yes I did 30k service at 28,xxx kms - service my car every 5,000kms and extremely fussy with everything). the car is still basically in showroom condition other than this annoying rear noise :evil: I have a 5 year 100,000 kms warranty which basically last till Jun ...

Thanks everyone - I did print out the TSB and brought it to the dealer. Story is I took my car in for 30k service 3 weeks ago and before the appointment, I have spoken to them and also given them the TSB print out. Well dealer being dealer, he is saying that there is no TSB with the Australian Suzuk...

The noise sounded like squeaking suspension / metal twisting noise - I thought it would be very obvious from the video as from 50secs onwards it is constantly happening. Imagine the car go over bumpy road and every time when the suspension is absorbing the energy of the bounce, it generates the nois...

Hi everyone, My Kizashi AWD started making this weird noise few weeks ago - it is worse in the cold when the car has sat for a while e.g. in the winter morning. As the temperature rise, it becomes less noticeable but still not 100% gone. I have uploaded a video of the noise (with rear seat folded do...

Hi everyone, I am thinking of going for aftermarket wheels. Anyone interested in purchasing stock AWD wheels? They are in perfect condition, travelled approx. 3,000KMs - all 4 replaced under warranty due to paint peeling off for the first set of wheels which came with the car new. Tyres have travell...

They were absolutely perfect other than the paint peeling off. I did not have to fight for it, just brought it to the dealer and said - this is not good enough as it is only 1 year or 15,000 KMs old! The service manager took some pictures, sent off to Suzuki Australia and got approval within 2 days....

Well for me, Adelaide is officially the city with the most Kizashi! I only saw the following in each respective cities: 1) Kazan, Russia - 1 Kizashi 2) Moscow, Russia - 0 Kizashi 3) Singapore - 0 Kizashi 4) Johor Bahru Malaysia - 1 Kizashi Just today alone, I spotted 2 Sports Kizashi in Adelaide! No...

It's pretty standard looking battery...

Yeah none of the memory was lost, everything was as per how I left it!

I had a jap import (Nissan 180sx) before with huge Optima battery but it always die after 3 days of not starting... pretty sure something was wrong with the wiring of the stereo...
