#197 of 314 Broken Rear axle by hayden4 Oct 25, 2005 (9:39 am)
My college daughter purchased a 2002 Grand Vitara in Feb 05. (Against our advice) One month after purchase a rear seal, bearing, and plate had to be replaced. The dealer did cover this repair. However, the car broke down 20 miles from home this weekend. After several phone calls with the dealer (they initially refused to take the car) they have informed us it is a broken axle. A broken axle??? Do these things usually "just break?" Can it have anything to do with the replaced seal, bearing, and plate?

Replying to: hayden4 (Oct 25, 2005 9:39 am) It is obvious that the dealer that sold you the vehicle as-is knew there were problems. That's why it is always a good idea to have a mechanically inclined friend to look at a used vehicle before buying it or hire a mechanic to inspect it for you. Sorry to tell you the bad news....

Sorry Bootprint - I can't hold both button in at once, it's either left or right. I've moved to a different time zone and need to change it again.

Replying to: bootprint (Aug 13, 2005 7:48 pm) OK! I got it! It's just TOO easy. Thanks Bootprint.

Replying to: zukimock (Oct 25, 2005 10:23 am) My 99' has a blown rear axle seal, and the dealership wanted over $3,000 to repair it. I didnt have it, so someone referred me to a mechanic, that after 4 months still hasnt fixd my truck. He claims the whole rear end would need to be replaced, because the axles are welded together. I dont know anything about cars, but I went underneath the truck myself and saw bolts that held everything together, which to me seem to be easy to remove. Is this the only way to go, or am I being dupped? Replies to this message: krist_eros (Dec 26, 2005 12:03 pm)
#203 of 314 GV front bulb replacement - remove grill? by rnsvitara Dec 21, 2005 (2:17 am)
A parking light on the '99 Grand Vitara has blown, and the manual says to take it to the dealer because you have to remove the grill and headlight assembly. The local non-dealer mechanic says it will take him about an hour - and the GV needs an inspection. Anyone have any experience removing the grill and headlight assembly? Any tips? Or just take a sledge hammer to the thing? Replies to this message: krist_eros (Dec 27, 2005 2:38 pm) rnsvitara (Dec 29, 2005 4:26 am)
#204 of 314 2dr 2002 Auto Vitara Soft Top - 4WD query by rsvitara Dec 21, 2005 (1:41 pm)
Hi All, I recently bought the 2dr 2002 Auto Vitara Soft Top, but never got the manual, and I've a couple of queries I was hoping someone could help with.   1. The button beside the gear selector what should this be set for for normal driving and what should it be set for for going off road.   2. I can take the back down easily, but the front piece of the roof I'm not sure if it should just fold back and be secured by yhte strap or am I missing something.   Hope you can help

Replying to: rideless81 (Dec 03, 2005 6:48 am) U must not replace the car 4 a failed seal, period. Yes, the rear half shafts inside the rear axle come out and they are not welded together because they must rotate independently. Your best bet is to consult a manual for this car. kris
