Grand Vitara 4WD 6-cyl

  • 30,382 miles
When I first bought the 2008 Suzuki Grand vitara, I noticed that the low beam headlights were so low that I could not see the road. I literally cannot see the road because they are so dim-they keep blowing out and needing to be replaced as well. I have to drive with my high beam lights on at night because I am afraid I will hit someone or something. I am blinded by on coming traffic if I drive with these on. This is a great safety hazard-these lights should be recalled before someone gets killed. I got my sixteen Y/O daughter this car and I refuse to let her drive it- I drive it. Been to dealership many times-still not any better. Please help.

Grand Vitara

I have just entered the mileage of the last time this problem happened. My 2008 Suzuki Grand vitara keeps blowing the headlamp bulbs. I have replaced it more than 10 times which is obviously abnormal since most of the cars uses the same bulb even for years. As I can see in internet forums this is a common problem between Suzuki owners and Suzuki has done nothing to correct this problem. I consider this a safety issue. Please help.
