| 25420 mi | Transmission does not shift properly constantly down shifting to just below red line on even small hills VERY UN HAPPY Same transmission problem. They need to re-flash the computer for better shift points but they will not.. Suzuki sent down factory rep, or area rep I was told they all do that. Transmission does not shift properly constantly down shifting to just below red line on even small hills This motor will never survive such a poorly programed automatic shift point |

2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara 4-door
6-cylinder manual AWD
| 28520 mi | I have officially bought a lemon, and have hired a lawer. There are not enough things for me to pick from. In a nutshell, the rear end drivetrain and transmission is no good and the motor is rattle pinging!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| 40300 mi | New transmission was installed, and works better. But I know from oil anlysis tests that the transfer case has a high content of iron 164 and the oil is burnt. I told Suzuki that it was leaking and the gear shift is still vibrating. I'm being ignored now! |
| 40300 mi | Suzuki took away my last two years of warranty, so therefore I traded it off. And I am so much happier now. They are not a nice company to deal with. I wouldn't recommend this company to any one! |
2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara 4-door
6-cylinder automatic AWD
| 13020 mi | TSB to replace the shifter lock in the Transmission that could cause the Grand Vitara to slip out of Park. Also had the 20,000 Km service done for $180.00 |
