Today I went to my garage to drive the kids to school got in the SUV andtried to start the car. First it seemed to start for a second then it shutdown,I tried to start it again then the starter was making a spinning noise so I turned it off and waited. Then I moved the shift from park to drive and back. I tried to start the SUV and the engine was cranking and almost wants to start. Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong before I call the tow truck? Please help. Thanks! Replies to this message: steve_ (Feb 16, 2006 3:35 pm) 4x4me2 (Dec 07, 2008 12:01 am)

Replying to: lrc2 (Feb 04, 2006 8:39 am) My 99 Vitara 2DR has the same leak at 95k miles. In fact, I returned it to my mechanic yesterday because it started leaking 20 mins. after I paid them $500 for replacing the seal. There is no recall for the rear main seal, but there is a technical service bulletin (TSB) for replacing it. I found out the hard way because I didn't take it to the dealership in the first place. Found out that a new seal may leak if the Suzuki recommended tools, 09911-97811 & 09911-97710, are not used. Go to www.suzukipitstop.com for more info. Good luck!

#460 of 491 2000 Suzuki Escudo by bettyboop1 Mar 31, 2006 (8:56 am)
I live in Bermuda and most of the cars are imported from Europe. I purchased a 2000 Suzuki Escudo which I have been advised is the same or similar to a 2000 Grand Vitara. I want to customize my car and it is very difficult to find kits , etc here on the island. Can anyone direct me to a someone who can help me locate the accessories I that I want or someone who knows about the difference between an Escudo and the Grand Vitara . They both look the same except the Escudo has the parking mirror on the hood . Thanks,
#461 of 491 2000 Grand Vitara not running by kkru May 12, 2006 (4:40 pm)
I have a 2000 Suzuki Grand Vitara that is only running on four cylinders. The number 3 & 6 are not running. Took it to a local shop and they indicated that there is very little compression on the 3 & 6 cylinder. They suggested having the entire engine rebuilt or replaced. The dealership is asking for 5K to replace the engine. Anyone have similar problems or have suggestions on how to fix?
