Exhaust pipe rusted away at flange that meets muffler. I had to cut flanges and install a section of pipe to fix. |
| 5900 mi | Check engine light came on and stayed on. The dealer was able to pull the error code and said that it was a bad O2 and Catalytic convertor. They replaced both items which so far has fixed the problem. The check engine light came on. Dealer said that the 02 sensor and catalytic converter are bad. They are replacing both under warranty. |
| 15000 mi | The check engine light came on after the 15,000 mile service was performed. Took the car to the dealer where they fixed by wiping oil from around the O2 sensor. It sounds like oil from the oil change dripped on the O2 sensor underneath. |

| 36000 mi | CEL came on briefly, then spontaneously turned off. O2 sensor was malfunctioning. Part ordered, scheduled installation 11 Nov 08. Defective O2 sensor found just prior to vehicle going over 36,000 miles; covered by warranty. |
| 38000 mi | O2 sensor replaced on 11 Nov 08. |
| 62000 mi US $721 |
Deteriorating serpentine belt (found by driver hearing odd slapping sound) led to local Pep Boys shop finding belt tensioner issue; part arrived 7 days later thru Tucson-area dealer; belt and tensioner replaced. No warranty claim made. |

O2 sensor |
| 47600 mi | replace oxygen sensor |
| 56000 mi | Pipes replaced on exhaust system. |
| 139000 mi | Started to throw engine code 0420 for upstream catalyst inefficiency and, I imagine, since the cat and manifold are 1 unit it would have hefty price tag. |
| 70000 mi US $125 |
I discovered a gasket on the exhaust pipe had disintegrated. No replacement pipes availble -- needed to weld a pipe in place. |
| 21000 mi | During routine oil change at dealer, oil got on one of the O2 sensors. Evidently one of the O2 sensors is near where the oil is changed. Dealer ordered and replaced 2 O2 sensors (said protocol was to replace two, not just the one). Was covered by warranty |

Water pump locked up & bent the shaft. Repair is difficult due to space. Parts included new pump, t-stat, antifreeze, gaskets and o-rings. Trick is removing 4 AC pump bolts and moving it slightly out of the way instead of exhaust manifold. |

| 18600 mi | Knock in engine at start up. Disappears when warm. Tech.unsure of problem, called in service rep and decided a shortblock should be installed. Just waiting for shortblock to come in. In the meantime I am driving the car with no problems. |
| 18600 mi | The car was brought back to the shop went the new short block came in (1st week in Jan). The new part had a flaw and another shortblock had to be ordered. Unfortunatly the new part was on back order out of the country and my old engine was tore apart ... |
| 18600 mi | New short block installed. But had gotten tired of waiting, and traded for new SX4. |
| 74400 mi | Rattling sound since 90,000 k's got significantly worse. Suzuki Australia refuses warranty. Knocking, rod bearing failure. Internal engine bearing failure, traded car for something else. Would have cost nearly $10k AUD to repair. Will not buy Suzuki again. |
