We have a noise that comes from the steering wheel area when the wheel is turned. Sounds like a mechanical pump or something. We haven't done anything about the issue because it seems to have no effect on performance as of yet.

Whining sound. Oil sludge build up. Timing chain stretched. Only solution offered was engine replacement at $4,970.00 plus tax. Manufacturer would not warranty repair of engine, their opinion the engine was abused.

Manumatic linkage box fuses went bad. Suzuki only offers replacement of the entire linkage box ($700+) instead of $30 fuses that mechanic could have easily replaced had they been available from manufacturer. Very frustrating.
