Re: Hate to be the bearer of not great news.
They're cutting "certain" dealers as I pointed out - those that are running used car lots and calling themselves Suzuki dealers. You may not agree with their marketing strategy but keep in mind, they will not turn this into a Honda over night. They built the Kizashi which I think we all ag...

Re: Hate to be the bearer of not great news.
I spoke with my dealer (owner) today about some of the stuff flying around the net about Suzuki. We talked for about 20 minutes and this is his feedback: This dealer (Winnpeg, Manitoba, Canada) recently purchasing a majority share in the dealership. He came out of the corporate offices of Ford Canad...

Re: Rear squeaks
Anyone have an update on this issue? My dealer is unaware of the problem and will not address it.

Re: Seems like bad news for Suzuki
I rolled the dice when I bought this car - I didn't have any experience with Suzuki after sales service and that concerned me. But I never considered this possibility - market value on this car has just dropped off a cliff. Talk about your catch 22 - can't sell it and expect any return and if you ke...

Re: Whistle noise while accelerate. Help
I can hear it in the vid you posted - since you did that test with the car in Park, get a friend to rev it while you are under the hood. You should be able to pin point it that way. Looks like your idle is solid so I would be surpised if it is a vac leak, especially on the intake side. Listen around...

Re: Alignment and rapid tire wear issue.
So it's the consumers fault for not picking up on the issue? Wow, you must work for Suzuki. Comparing this problem to a guy that never changes his oil is a joke - this car is being sold with out of spec alignment and you are blaming this on consumer neglect? It should not be up to the buyer to pick ...

Re: Alignment and rapid tire wear issue.
"Most all import cars have alignment issues" So what's your point? It's OK because it happens with other imports? I picked up on the issue when I bought the car so I'm lucky. But for those that are now replacing expensive tires after putting out major money on a new car, this is garbage. S...

Re: TSB SI-0007 ALIGNMENT SPECS
I would demand an alignment check regardless of mileage or tire wear - I had my car checked when I bought it and sure enough, it was off - in fact the car pulled to the left during the test drive. I drove 2 different cars when test driving and both pulled left. The service writer also mentioned to m...

Re: dealer closed
You're preaching to the choir - I agree that this car offers incrediable value - it's unfortunate they don't sell many. IMO, they don't sell because they don't advertise. If they start closing dealerships, this impacts the value offer - I have to go further to find a dealer (and i want the dealer wo...
