Car was running fine. I was driving southbound in 3 / 6 lane traffic 45 mph in town when a loud knock started knocking under the hood. I immediately pulled off the road as soon as I found a place to pull off otherwise could have stalled causing a major crash of vehicles. I called aaa to have it towed. The repair shop in my neighborhood said I needed a new engine. Car has 72,072 miles on it. The 7 year warranty ran out July 24, 2016. This happened less than 6 months after warranty and 9 months after last car payment. It hasn't reached 100,000 yet for the drive train. Pretty sad.

After 38,000 miles and less than 3 years, my Suzuki needs a new drive belt and tensioner according to the dealership. My warranty just ran out. According to research I have done online this belt should last at least 60,000 miles and the tensioner much longer. They are quoting me $450 to repair. Ridiculous!

While driving on a winnipeg street, approaching a red light @ about 40/45km, & changing to the lane on the right, the steering locked. This occurred on June 6th, 2011. It was a sunny morning. Hadn't rained for at least 24 hrs. I immediately put on the hazard light, shifted to neutral, restarted & drove away without further incident. This has never occurred before; car purchased July 2009--current mileage-12,300 km. No other problems. My mechanic examined all relevant areas and said he found no worn parts or defects. He test drove the car but could not find anything of concern. He stated the car computer did not register that any such incident had occurred. Haber Suzuki test drove the car on June 13. Found no fault with the drive; also stated that the car computer did not indicate that an incident had occurred & saw no reason for further investigation. They informed me that the car had stalled & that caused the steering to lock. The manager there stated that no further investigation was necessary.
