16000 mi | Service bulletin parts were installed but did not fix the problem. Car remained in shop for 2 additional days. Shop called Suzuki and determined the left cv axel was the cause - new one ordered. New cv axel fixed problem. Car is going back for an alignment due to steering wheel being out of alignment. Shops fault not the cars. Shop should have realigned before releasing the car!! |
