Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
1. Transmission occasionally does not shift into 4th gear on upshift. Instead it goes into neutral. 2. Rear brakes were completely worn out and had to be replaced at 2,600 miles.
I am worried about the possibility of this rear subframe failing at the welds, especially when carrying a passenger. There have been reported failures, both in the uk and USA, and suzuki uk seems to be the only entity performing repairs with steel replacements. I would like to see suzuki USA perform similar replacements, for safety's sake.
While traveling on smooth pavement motorcycle exhibited a condition referred to as "tank slapping". This occurs when steering stabilizer does not work properly.
While moving at low speeds in 4wd the transaxle would make a loud thumping noise and the vehicle would "pop" out of 4wd, but the 4wd indicator light remained lit. This problem initially occured going up hills but now all the time. While ascending a steep grade the vehicle came out of 4wd and broke traction causing loss of control.--
Vehicle has had continued engine problems since purchase, repair attempt LED to addition engine failures. Mjs (attorney for consumer).
