| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: At 48,000 miles the timing tensioner went out in my suzuki grand vitara. this has caused complete damage to the entire engine requiring a complete rebuild because of a part that was defective. suzuki has denied responsibility and would not help fix this issue even though they say that their vehicles have zero-maintenance and self-adjusting timing chains. the part clearly failed long before it's rating and need for replacement (60,000miles) and i have found many other people on the web with the same issue (around 500 similar complaints). suzuki has a part or manufacturing issue and this really needs to be looked into for the sake of all consumers out there. *jb |
