Hyper Steering and Vibration 2006 Aerio

[StephenJohn]

Almost 5000kms on Aerio now and at speeds below 110km per hour the car is near perfect!
At speeds approaching 120kms per hour and above the steering feels very hyper and light and loses all road feel???
Almost feels down right dangerous!

Also at 120kms an hour and above the car vibrates thru the steering wheel-gas pedal and floor boards???
very weird.

In the next week or so I'm heading back to the dealer for it's first checkup and will try to get it fixed.

Anyone else had these problems and or how to fix?
Otherwise the car is fantastic!
But I can't live with those problems on a new car!!!

Drives like a new car now-oh boy
Tires had 40 pounds of pressure from the dealer
Also none of the tires had been balanced at all!
And i installed the cargo net and also the
cargo cover from the upgraded model
really improves the back of the car now
worth every penny

Been to Newmarket Suzuki

Their service is so so

However they did fix my car

Balance and check tires for pressure

I also had front sway bar bushings replaced

Drives like a dream now

Remember that you owe a car that it's relation between horsepower and torque is almost equal. The Suzuki's (specialty Aerios) have the tendency to literally "chew" the tires. Yor problem is very simple, get your vehicle to service wheel balance and aligment regularly. And you must do pay more attention to the tires that you put in it. In my case I put in my Aerio a set of Dunlop Direzza 101 / 205-50-ZR15 instead the factory 195-55-R15 and I had awesome improvement.
