#470 of 491 Is the 2000 Susuki ok in 2007? by mrsrony Mar 24, 2007 (7:41 pm)
We are looking at a 2000 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA with about 65k miles asking $9k. It seems like there was alot of problems with that year yet the others rate really well. We are torn between it and a 2002 Jeep Liberty with 90k miles for the same price. The price alone makes me think there is a problem. Any advice? Thanks for your thoughts.

Replying to: mrsrony (Mar 24, 2007 7:41 pm) I purchased my 2000 Suzuki Grand Vitara for $2500!!! It had sorta high miles (109K) when I got it but I have had it for over a year now and it is the best vehicle I have ever owned! I have heard good things about the Jeep Liberty's as well...but wanted to give you my personal experienced opinion. My Grand Vitara does not do well on wet or snow covered roads though...even in 4WD...it tends to slide on the curves and when trying to slow down on snow/ice, it gives me a wild ride...but it all has to do with the weight of the vehicle...the 2000 Grand Vitara is very light! Mine averages 22-24 mpg. All in all I love it!

I recently gave my vitara a tune-up, which consisted of replacing the plugs,p.c.v,valve, and air cleaner because it was recently brought to my attention that my suv have been consuming more fuel than normal. After replacing all parts, we still didn't have any success on fuel consonption. I have noticed before and now that when revving engine I noticed engine sound like its starving for fuel. Do anyone have experianced same problem and how do I correct the problem..? Replies to this message: rawgold (May 08, 2007 3:23 pm) rawgold (May 09, 2007 3:11 pm) arkainzeye (May 15, 2007 2:23 am)

Replying to: aavscorp (May 01, 2007 4:23 am) Try replacing the fuel filter, trace the fuel line back to the gas tank to find it. Usually under the body near the middle but could be anywhere. Also, try a fuel injecter cleaner, the stronger the better. This is up to you, I have been doing this for 3 years and have never had any detrimental problem; I add 2 ounces of Acetone to 10 gallons of gas, no more , no less. It took about 3 tanks of gas to clean things out, now get at least 20% better MPG. Also much more power, have to be careful not to burn rubber taking off!

Replying to: aavscorp (May 01, 2007 4:23 am) Beware! If you change the fuel filter yourself, be sure to pull the fuse to the filter. Otherwise you will be drowned in gasoline which remaines under constant pressure in the line. You might think about seeking a professional to change it out. R.

Replying to: rawgold (May 09, 2007 3:11 pm) Make sure the engine was not ran in the last hour and Remove the gas cap, this relieves pressure in the gas tank. and wont force fuel out the line. Gas will still come out but not with Force.
#476 of 491 Engine trouble with burning oil! by sadsuzukibuyer May 17, 2007 (6:40 pm)
I bought my 1999 GV last August and everything was good for 3 months. Then I need a new timing change tensioner $1200(of which there was a bulletin posted on that part) and now I am buring oil like crazy and smoking out the exhaust every time I start the car. My garage (not a dealership) said that I need my engine rebuilt or replaced. This is $5500! Has anybody else had these problems? My car only has 74,000 miles. Surely I should not be having this much problem with the car? Replies to this message: xzhenkax (Aug 25, 2007 10:10 pm) jtz54 (Dec 08, 2007 9:47 am)
