problem #1

May 152001

Vitara 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Check engine light came on. My wife brought it in to royal Suzuki tucson, , Arizona repeatedly while still under warranty. Dealer kept telling her it was her fault for not closing gas cap tightly enough. This happened several times at a charge of $50, extended warranty deductible, each time. I even bought a new gas cap, no change. Now that the warranty expired, they tell us it the fuel pressure sensor in the tank needs replacing. There are no after market parts for this, and I refuse to pay the dealership for the part they should have replaced under warranty. Therefore, my wife, lisa schrant, is driving the vehicle with the check engine light constantly illuminated. This may hide any new problems which may occur.
