Grand Vitara 4-cyl

  • 29,056 miles
The gear shifter failed to function and suddenly got stuck in the gear that it was in. Dealership replaced the part, but the problem recurred. Consumer noted this failure occurred in three vehicles, all of which were the same make, model and year. The dealership didn't take responsibility for the first failure even though the vehicle was under warranty. Since the consumer needed the vehicle, he paid for the repairs ranging from $296. To $380. The failure occurred twice on one vehicle. The vehicles can't move at all (second vehicles VIN - [xxx]). information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
