OK SO ME AND MY HUSBAND OWN A 2006 GRAND VITARA LUX. EDITION AND SINCE WE HAD IT, WE'VE HAD A PINGING NOISE PROBLEM WITH IT.
WHEN WE BOUGHT IT WE TOOK IT IN ALITTLE LATER AND TOLD THEM WE GOT A PINGING NOISE COMING FROM IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SHIFTER UNDERNEATH IT. WHEN YOU PUT IT INTO DRIVE, REVERSE OR PARK IT MAKES A PING NOISE AND IT'S GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER!!!
WHEN WE TOOK IT IN THE FIRST TIME, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING PINGING NOISE ANYWHERE AND THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE NOISE AT ALL. WHEN WE TOOK IT FOR ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHEN WE MOVED, THEY SAID TOO THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE SOUND. SO WE ARE IN 2 STATES NOW AND 2 DIFFERENT SERVICE PLACES. WE ARE PISSED OFF!
SO WHEN WE COME TO HAWAII, WE TAKE THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN BECAUSE THE NOISE IS NOT GOING AWAY AT ALL AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS VEHICLE. WE TAKE IT TO SERVCO AUTO AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE NOISE. THEN WE TOOK IT IN FOR SOME WARRANTY WORK ON OUR SEATS AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T REUPHOLSTER THE LEATHER SEATS JUST STRETCHED THEM OUT BUT IT DIDN'T EVEN FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WAS THE SIDE AIR BAGS WERE SHOWING! WHICH IS NOT A GOOD THING. BUT THEY SAID NO, IT'S FIXED.
WHEN WE PICKED UP OUR VEHICLE I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER OUT HERE IN HAWAII AND THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DRIVE ANOTHER SUZUKI OUT HERE THE SAME BRAND AND STUFF TO SEE IF THEY CAN DUPLICATE THE SOUND WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE IF NOT THEN THEY SAID THE NOISE IS FROM US HAVING CUSTOM WHEELS. THE NOISE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AWHILE EVEN BEFORE WE HAD THESE WHEELS.
YEAH, CUSTOM WHEELS! IF THAT WAS THE CASE, WOULDN'T EVERYONE BE HAVING THIS PINGING NOISE PROBLEM?!
THE MANAGER AT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PLACE SAID HE WILL GET BACK TO US NEXT WEEK ABOUT THE NOISE. BUT I HONESTLY THINK IT'S A PROBLEM FROM THE VEHICLE NOT FROM US HAVING CUSTOM WHEELS. THEY ARE TRYING TO FIND A WAY NOT TO FIX ANYTHING. WHEN WE MENTION WE ARE GOING TO DO A LEMON ON IT, THEY GET ALL NERVOUS
DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PINGING NOISE IN THEIR GRAND VITARA?
