Grand Vitara

Leak in ac condenser found to be a common problem, leak in same location on several vehicles. Pull to right while driving that alighnment cant fix, similar problems reported by other owners. Premature wear and vibration of front brakes similar to complaints of other owners. No offer to replace failing condenser by dealer who told me about problem with other condensers they knew about. Can not find any contact info on Suzuki motors site to complain.

2000 Grand vitara with 60K miles needs a timing chain tensioner. Have been told this part should not need to be replaced at 60K miles. Have read information from other Suzuki Grand vitara owners with similar problems after warranty is expired.
