2008 Suzuki SX4 4dr Hatch
143-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual 4WD
| 51000 mi | Car would no longer shift into 5th or reverse. Dealer replaced 5th gear and synchronizer gear. |
| 52000 mi | Left rear axle seal leaking |
| 60000 mi | Manual shifter was nearly impossible to move. Dealer said that they lubed the shift cables, but shifting felt no different. I ended up researching online to find a fix and fixed it myself with spray grease into the cable boots. |

3rd set of rear axle seals in 5 years... this time it was out of warranty. |
