Wear your earplugs!!! - 2001 Suzuki Vitara
By terpr - October 15 - 10:00 amI bought my Vitara with the hopes of having a fun, dependable ride. What I got was a car that constantly creaks and makes noises. Ive taken it in twice for the same problem and it still makes noise! Its the most infuriating thing! I dread going over a speed bump or an uneven road. It sounds like my car is going to fall apart!

No long-term reliability - 2001 Suzuki Vitara
By SATX - July 30 - 3:23 pmMy Suzuki was great for the first few years, but once my extended warranty ran out, it started falling apart between 80k~91k. First went the auto-entry device, then the A/C, then some electrical problems started flaring up where my headlights and interior lights pulse at night, then an automated window went out, then the interior dome light shorted, and the final two kickers--it was not starting up, then finally it started dying on the road randomly and shaking and needing a time-out before I can restart it. The worst part is, either we have terrible mechanics in Texas or this is a hard car to work on, because no one can figure it out! A car should not be rendered worthless at 91k!
