| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The exhaust system, specifically the resonator canister on the tail pipe, corroded through forming a hole. this allowed exhaust gasses to exit under the vehicle. the exhaust leak could have resulted in carbon monoxide entering the passenger compartment and causing illness, injury or death. the corrosion results from a design defect that allows exhaust condensate to pool in the resonator and corrode the metal. this is the second new exhaust system replaced within 14 months and 10,000 miles. this defect was observed on every single chevy tracker and suzuki vitara model years 1999 to 2003. the exhaust system was replaced under warranty.*ak |
