2006 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA Complaints

HAVE HAD TO REPLACE HEADLIGHTS NUMEROUS TIMES DUE TO THEM BURNING OUT. HAVE CHECKED SOCKET CONNECTION AND FOUND THAT THERE THE PLASTIC SURROUNDING THE METAL CLIP IS MELTING. CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED BUT THEY WILL REPLACED FOR PRICE. THEN CONTACTED SUZUKI SPOKE TO A VERY RUDE WOMEN WHO LOOKED UP GRAND VITARA AND SAID THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT HEADLIGHT PROBLEM AND WHEN I SAID THAT THERE WERE ONLINE COMPLAINTS SHE SAID DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT IS ONLINE. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE LOW BEAM HALOGEN 6 TIMES (4 DRIVER-SIDE; 2 PASSENGER-SIDE) PRIOR TO 2013. NOW THE LOW BEAMS WILL HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED 8 TIMES DUE TO BOTH BULBS DYING AFTER ROLLING OVER 2 SPEED BUMPS IN A PARKING LOT. NEARLY CAUSED SEVERAL LOW-SPEED ACCIDENTS WHEN OTHER DRIVERS WERE BACKING THEIR CARS OUT. AT LEAST THE HIGH BEAMS AND FOG LIGHTS HAVE BEEN FLAWLESS. REPAIRPAL: "THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT BULBS BURNING OUT PREMATURELY. AS OF THIS WRITING SUZUKI HAS NOT RELEASED A SERVICE BULLETIN ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE..." HTTP://REPAIRPAL.COM/LOW-BEAM-HEADLIGHT-131. *TR

A HOT DAY OR ANY BAG WEIGHING OVER 5 LBS. WILL TRIGGER THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR FOR THE AIR BAG. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS PROBLEM IS TO PERMANENTLY BUCKLE THE PASSENGER SEATBELT. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND SEATBELT LIGHT CAME ON. THEN THE DASH AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. NOW THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF AT ANY TIME WITH OR WITHOUT A PASSENGER. *TR

HAVING TO REPLACE MY HEADLAMP BULBS EVERY FEW MONTHS. DRIVER'S SIDE AND THEN PASSENGER SIDE BACK AND FORTH BACK AND FORTH SINCE 2009. THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS AND APPARENTLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURING SUZUKI!!!! GIVE EAR TO THESE COMPLAINTS AND DO THE RIGHT THING AND TAKE HEED AND ACTION PLEASE. *TR

HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY BURN OUT. I HAVE TO CHANGE THE LOW BEAMS EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS AND I AM BEYOND TIRED OF IT. SUZUKI KNOWS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE, BUT REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX IT. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SUZUKI VEHICLE AGAIN. THEY AREN'T EVEN SELLING THEM IN THE US, SO I GUESS I WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING ANOTHER ONE. *TR

THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT INDICATOR STAYS ON REGARDLESS OF HAVING SOMEONE SIT IN THE SEAT OR NOT. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ALSO ON ALL THE TIME. I HAVE CHECKED THE WIRING AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE WRONG WITH IT. *TR

LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT BURNS OUT CONSTANTLY ~4 MONTHS. REPLACED THEM AT LEAST 8 TIMES SINCE PURCHASED NEW. *TR
