I got a 2006 grand vitara brand new at first it was little things like my dome light switch breaking and the window controller becoming loss and after getting them fixed they break again a week latter then a sensor light comes on about the air bag and wont go off the worst thing is my air condition control only lets ac run cant turn it off and don't try to put the heat from you feet to face the air might just stop working then i started to have bearing issues that was a recall item but my dealership closed so i had to drive 47 miles drop it off and had to come back the next day to get it that was the first recall then my car started to make a weird noise i got the notice of another recall and my pulley broke and i cant drive my car 47 miles to get it fixed i asked if i just fix it my self will they refund me my money back for the part they said no and they wouldn't even ship the item to me because im not a shop but they were willing to pay 50 dollar towards my three hundred dollar tow to get my car there. *tr
Brake pedal goes almost all the way to the floor before engaging and at times there is a grinding noise from the front of the vehicle. when i took it to get the brakes checked, the pads were fine, but one of the calipers was misaligned. when i took the suzuki grand vitara in to get the recalled power steering tensioner pulley replaced, and for servicing, they loaned me a vehicle. i almost went though the windshield with the functional brakes of the loaner, actually any brakes on any other vehicle i drive. it almost feels as if the brake pedal will go all the way to the floor. i have had to use my automatic transmission gears to slow the vehicle down. brake shoes, pads whatever they are called are fine. the dealership doesn't think that safety is a concern. also, i might add that the replaced power steering tensioner pulley now creates a severe knocking noise in the engine (that did not exist prior to the replacement). i have returned to the dealer 4 times to repair ... apparently, suzuki has also issued another technical bulletin to decrease the knocking, but it is still there! *tr
My ex-husband before giving my daughter the use of his 2006 suzuki grand vitara took it into marketplace chrysler - suzuki, inc in rochester, ny on 6/23/2010 to have the oil changed and for them to take care of any recalls on the car that had not been done yet. well one they did was "sb shifter interlock" replaced per recall is stated on the receipt. well on the night of august 8th 2010 around 10pm she was moving the suzuki grand vitara in the driveway up closer to the house and the shifter moved out of park into drive without her having her foot on the brake... it was cooler out and the engine was running fast also. well the 2006 suzuki grand vitara went through the closed garage door. my garage door has been replaced and the damages to the suzuki have been fixed all paid for by my ex-husbands geico auto policy. the day the car was picked up from being repaired we took it straight back to marketplace chrysler-suzuki and told them what had happened, they said that they would look at the vehicle but once a recall is done they can't redo it and have it covered under the recall that i would have to pay for it. they did evaluate the vehicle and stated on the repair invoice "customer states that the vehicle will come out of park when off or running" "tech found that the shift switch was failing. removed and replaced with new. test." i was not charged for this. *tr

After purchasing this vehicle new in september 2006, it has been in the service dept of phil long suzuki 9 times in an 8 month period. the heater inside the suzuki grand vitara xsport works intermittently and the service dept has no idea how to fix it. i've been caught in 4 blizzards here in colorado with 2 babies in the car and no heater! the suzuki corporation refuses to make things right! the district manager, mike wetstone has been nothing but rude and refuses to help with this matter. the suzuki corporation refuses to accept any responsibility and has continuously pushed us off on the district manager. i definitely purchased a lemon and was threatened by mike wetstone that if i go through with filing a report through the lemon law, it will cost me thousands of dollars out of pocket!!! *tr
