You'll hate me for this, but maybe it will help somebody else in the future... The wheel hub is covered by the powertrain warranty, so you could have had it replaced at no cost. I've had a similar experience recently and I was lucky enough that the service manager from the former Suzuki dealership m...

Time to join this thread, I guess... :-( I heard the noise for the first time today (80k kms), after driving in manual for about 5 minutes, a bit more lively. Switched to auto and it seemed to go away, I hesitantly tried to rev it up again after a bit, but it seemed OK. I went through the comments o...

It seems that the heat from the sun causes the leather to shrink enough to cause the sensor to trigger. I reached the same conclusion after a while. It's definitely linked to how much the car sat in the sun. I get this quite frequently as of late, but most of the time it goes away after I drive for...

I'm not sure how normal it is, but I also hear that noise when it's hot outside. It happens mostly after the car sat in the parking lot, in the sun, for a full day and I open the windows. I had that for at least a couple of summers, now, so we can say it's not leading to a quick death. Long term, we...

So what is your point, exactly? Brake fade doesn't apply to normal driving, unless you are trying to maintain a certain speed, while barreling down a mountain, or on a racetrack... That exactly my point. The post you replied to, initially, mentioned engine braking on long downhills: I also live in ...

I also live in hilly area, and don't see very much stop and go traffic. I use my engine as a break on long downhills. I never really understood that concept. Being an ex-Suzuki and Honda motorcycle racer, the rule has always been to stop your bike (or slow it down), with your brakes as pads are che...

Aaaand, it's official.

Just to add my experience to the thread, as it took me a few days to figure out where the rattling was coming from, a couple of month ago. Odd as it might sound, the squeaking/rattling was produced by the sun visors' vibration when resting against the headliner. Pulling them down a bit made the nois...

So to change just a burnt out bulb i have to drop the bumper how does that work that is awful and a haggerd design i have yet to replace one but with winter apon us, it gets dark at about 4pm so lights are very important, and if one burns out i dont have the means to drop the bumper this sucks! Not...

Hi all, The demo I drive is brand new one, however, it has noticiable vibration on the steering when stopping at traffic lights and stop the car completely. (Last for half a sec) Is it normal the cvt version? Thanks Alan Is it a type of rough engine vibration, noticeable mostly when you stop abrupt...
