What owners report
I SEE THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2013 SUZUKI GRAND VIATARA FOR "POWER TRAIN RECALL". HOWEVER, WHEN I PUT MY VIN IN THE SYSTEM, IT SAYS IT CAN'T PULL IT UP. I AM ENTERING THE VIN CORRECTLY. WHAT DO I DO NEXT?
THE VITARA HAS RECALLS FOR BOTH MY ISSUES BUT ONLY UNTIL 2011 MINE IS 2013 AND HAS THE SAME ISSUES AS PREVIOUS MODELS DID. I MOVED FROM HOT WEATHER STATE TO COLD WEATHER AND WHEN WINTER ARRIVED, THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON AND NOW THE CAR TAKES VERY LONG TO START. APPARENTLY PREVIOUS MODELS HAD AIRBAG SENSORS ISSUES IN COLD WEATHER AND THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM AS WELL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DID NOT DO RECALLS FOR MY MODEL AS WELL SINCE THESE ISSUES STARTED AS SOON AS WINTER ARRIVED. THESE ARE VERY SERIOUS ISSUES FOR A VEHICLE TO HAVE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED APPROXIMATELY FIVE MONTHS AGO. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO SUZUKI DEL CARIBE IN CAROLINA, PUERTO RICO WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,827.
GOT A LETTER ABOUT A RECALL ON THE TRANS. SHIFTER SHAFT. IT SAID PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE SO I CALLED MY LOCAL SERVICE PROVIDER AT 828-485-0002 -THIS WAS 6 1/2 WEEKS AGO AND WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS YET AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN THEY GOT THEM. THEY SAY THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THEM? ARE THEY STALLING OR JUST NOT WANT TO DO WARRANTY WORK BECAUSE IT PAYS LESS? THE LETTER SAID IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD THE LETTER FOR 2 1/2 MONTHS BUT WAS IN FLORIDA FOR THE WINTER AND DROVE IT VERY LITTLE THERE- HAULED IT BACK IN A TRAILER- AND STILL AVOID DRIVING IT UNTILL WE GET IT FIXED. WHAT CAN I DO?
