Esteem

  • 183,000 miles
The contact owns a 2001 Suzuki Esteem. The contact stated entering a residential driveway, the front suspension and wheel completely fractured from the frame. The manufacturer was contacted and advised that an extended warranty was offered to the owners of those vehicles that experience the failure but the warranty was voided due to the mileage limitations of the warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 183,000.

Esteem

  • 60,000 miles
Front subframe on a 2001 Suzuki, Esteem cracked. Call Suzuki dealer to see if there were any recalls for that problem and the answer was no. Which I think there should be due to the fact that the car is not that old to have does kind of problems. Part and labor will be really expensive close to a $1,000 dollars for repair. When I talked to the person in the parts department, told me that they had a lot of people looking for the same part for repair lately, this is why I think is a recall issue and Suzuki should warranty this kind of parts they are suppose to last for a really long time I suppose. Please help!!!!! I still haven't fixed the car because of costly repair.
