My local Suzuki dealer up here in Canada will not acknowledge that this is a factory defect, neither will the Suzuki customer non-service people I was ... Read More

Tire and Light Problems
Written by: kara0611 on May 26, 2009 10:00:01 AM
I am so disappointed in my 2008 Grand Vitara. Love the car...hate the problems. Have had it for 6 months and had it in for the lights (interior and exterior) 3 times now. All the interior lights have burned out....I've never experienced this before. I had a Chevy Blazer that was 10 years old and never replaced an interior light. First one went out after I had the vehicle 2 months....it ... Read More

Hi, On suzuki-forums.com some guy posted pictures and instructions for fog light installation. But read down because another person said there is no need to remove some parts he says to. Good luck. I was also told that taking it to a car stereo installer is another alternative.

Spied: Suzuki Gets Aggressive It's a tall order By Paul Horrell "Suzuki plans to triple North American annual sales from 80,000 to 250,000 in five years. That's a tall order because it means biting into Hyundai's and Kia's growth. But the company plans to roll out a fleet of imaginative new vehicles to help it succeed, according to Hirotake Ono, board member in charge of U.S. and European marketing. First up ... Read More

Wow, you have sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much to type but i actually read it all because it is all so interesting and true.... Anyways, yes hondas 07 CR-V is a 4cyl but i makes 166 horses! The v6 grand vitara makes 185 horses and thats not much better. I'm not saying it needs the Rav-4's v6 -though that will be sweet- to compete. Gm has a problem matching the engine to the transmission. ... Read More
