I BOUGHT THIS CAR BACK IN FEB. 2006 WITH ONLY 1000 MILES ON IT. BY DECEMBER OF 2006, I BEGAN HEARING SQUEAKY NOISES AND THIS LOUD ANNOYING SOUND, WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDED BRAKE PADS ALREADY, ONLY ADDING ANOTHER 1000 MILES WITHIN THOSE FEW MONTHS. THE BRAKES ARE SPECIAL ORDER AND COST ME 120.00. I HAD THEM PUT ON BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME EVEN WITH MY 10 YEAR 100,000 MILE WARRANTY, BRAKES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER IT! WELL IN JULY 2007, THE SAME NOISE AGAIN, I SAID NO WY IT COULDN'T BE THE BRAKES, SURE ENOUGH AGAIN THE BRAKES. IN LEAST THAN 1.5 YEARS I HAVE CHANGED THE BRAKES ON THIS CAR TWO TIMES, NOW MY CAR ACTS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND I WAS INFORMED BY TWO MECHANICS THAT I NEED TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION FLUSH BECAUSE OF HOW BLACK IT LOOKS AND THAT IS THE REASON MY CAR IS FEELING AS THOUGH IT IS SLIPPING! I CAN'T UNDERSTAND SUCH A NICE CAR WITH SUCH A GOOD WARRANTY YET SO MANY PROBLEMS! *TR

Official recalls

07V307000 · Power Train:manual Transmission

Jul 15, 2007

ON CERTAIN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, DUE TO IMPROPER SHAPE OF THE CLIP, THE RETAINING CLIP THAT KEEPS THE GEAR SHIFT CABLE ATTACHED TO THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER CAN CONTACT THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER HOUSING IF EXCESSIVE LATERAL FORCE IS APPLIED WHEN SHIFTING TO FIRST GEAR.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: REPEATED SHIFTING IN THIS MANNER CAN EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE RETAINING CLIP TO BREAK. IF THE RETAINING CLIP BREAKS, THE SHIFT CABLE CAN BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM THE SHIFT LEVER, RESULTING IN LOSS OF THE ABILITY TO CHANGE TRANSMISSION GEARS.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE GEAR SHIFT CABLE RETAINING CLIP WITH A CLIP THAT HAS A DIFFERENT SHAPE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 13, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT AMERICAN SUZUKI AT 1-800-934-0934.
