| 2000 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE KICK DOWN CABLE OF THE TRANSMISSION BECAME STUCK AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO A HIGH SPEED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS MANIPULATED UNTIL THE CABLE LOOSENED. AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR FACILITY REPLACED THE CABLE AND THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED.

| 2008 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS | WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE 2008 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA, I NOTICED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE SO LOW THAT I COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD. I LITERALLY CANNOT SEE THE ROAD BECAUSE THEY ARE SO DIM-THEY KEEP BLOWING OUT AND NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ON AT NIGHT BECAUSE I AM AFRAID I WILL HIT SOMEONE OR SOMETHING. I AM BLINDED BY ON COMING TRAFFIC IF I DRIVE WITH THESE ON. THIS IS A GREAT SAFETY HAZARD-THESE LIGHTS SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. I GOT MY SIXTEEN Y/O DAUGHTER THIS CAR AND I REFUSE TO LET HER DRIVE IT- I DRIVE IT. BEEN TO DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES-STILL NOT ANY BETTER. PLEASE HELP. *TT |
