#351 of 424 Re: check eng light. [davidd5] by dog8 Aug 09, 2007 (2:07 pm)
Replying to: davidd5 (May 05, 2003 6:20 pm) Do not go to the dealer the light goes out on it's own. Meanwhile you will not know if you have a engine fault when it happens but oh well. My car has 100050km when it died. Watch out for the crankshaft sensor that fails without warning. Driving along the road starting to apply the gas and then no power. the oil light comes on. The car will not restart. IT took the mechanic 7 plus hours to figure out what the problem was. 10 plus hours to do the whole job at $85.00 an hour. $750.00 for the part. Watch out Trade it in on domestic car. I am.

Replying to: mesx (Jul 05, 2006 5:55 am) I am with you on that one I have a 2003 Aerio SX that is falling apart at 100000km. I am in Canada. Car dies crankshaft sensor fails 8 plus hours to find problem by the dealer shop. $2000.00 dollar bill. Suckzuki all right. If you own the car get a savings account opened.

Replying to: meuleman (Mar 03, 2007 3:39 pm) It is crazy suzuki will not allow the dealer to make camber or caster adjustments in the rear for some stupid reason. I realy don't understand why every other company allows it.

Replying to: cher1983 (Sep 19, 2006 12:31 pm) I too have an 06 Aerio SX. Mine is automatic and AWD.   What you hear is the clutch on the A/C compressor kicking in.   It is normal. No cause for alarm.   Hope this eases your mind.

#356 of 424 ? about my Susie Q? 03 aerio s by ladycash20 Oct 13, 2007 (5:57 pm)
I am the owner of a 2003 Aerio S.. I am aware it is nothing special and seems most people are hating them, while I love my car for the fact Susie Q was my first!! Not only do I want to keep my first car but it is hard for a single mom to go buy a new one!! So here is my problem: lately before my car has completely warmed up, she has a problem with switching gears. My rpm's are just about red line when the car shifts down. A couple days ago I let her warm up for a few put it in reverse and its like nothing!! For the most part all I did was roll, the gas pedal didnt mean shite!! I put the car in Drive to at least park her again and still gas pedal seems pointless... Now I know my trans. fluid is burnt and has been for a while but no I was lazy! anyways.. I pray to god I do not have to rebuild or replace my transmission! If anybody knows what is going on with my car PLEASE reply and fill me in!! (car info) 03 base model w/close to 126k miles, air filter replaced w/ K&N short ram intake, keep the oil changed & the only problem I have ever had is the clock light doesn't work but I dont care. As far as I can see the belts look fine, there is a ticking for a short period after I turn it on, and I could top it off with a little anti freeze. The thought of a fuel pump problem of some sort crossed my mind but I dont know. I hope that info helped at least a little bit PLEASE somebody help me here ! ! ! thanks~ Lady Cash Replies to this message: logmgr (Oct 14, 2007 3:33 pm) rarchimedes (Oct 16, 2007 5:24 am) pychogirlfrien (Jan 23, 2008 2:47 pm)

Replying to: ladycash20 (Oct 13, 2007 5:57 pm) Get the trans fluid changed NOW !!!!! Make sure they use the suction machine otherwise the fluid in the torque converter will not be changed. Should cost around 100 dollars. RIGHT NOW add fluid if it is low but DO get it changed now. If you continue to drive it like it is you WILL be replacing the tranny. How did you get the fluid burnt ? Did it overheat ? Or is the fluid just old ? I have been a fleet manager for many years and hate to be the bearer of bad news,but you really need to get that transmission flud changed now.

Replying to: logmgr (Jan 31, 2007 10:56 am) I agree ...have the charging system checked.

Replying to: ladycash20 (Oct 13, 2007 5:57 pm) It seems really unlikely that you will escape a rebuild of your tranny if you have let things go this far. New fluid may temporarily help the problem, but a tranny slipping that badly is internally varnished and is likely to have burnt more than just the fluid.

Replying to: davidd5 (May 13, 2003 6:38 pm) To davidd5, I'm very interested in your problem, in that my 2003 Suzuki Aerio SX, which has only a little over a 100,000 miles on it suddenly, is having the Check Engine Light come on. I am being told I need a new Catalytic Converter that isn't available on a rebuilt ( because that aren't being built ) The cost from the dealer is about a thousand dollars. How am I related to your issue? It has been really cold here lately in our little patch of California, weeks and weeks, AND we are in a low area. I know that in the morning when we leave it's already warmed to 38,42 or 45 degrees. I got the oil changed recently, and [okay I admit it...no major engine services since 30,000 miles - oops! ] the mechanic changed spark plugs, air filter, transmission drain and refill... at that time, he reset the "Check Engine Light" and ...here we are. We agreed to the code reset in my car since the mechanic wasn't sure what was causing the light the come on in light of the amount of time since my last major maintenance. The next day I used the car for a series of short "hops" around town and during the 5th drive the light came back on. NOW, I'm sensitized as to whether the car really has "an issue" ( Catalytic converter, or what else could make that "Check Engine Light" come on...?? I have noticed the herky jerky sensation several times, and was wondering if it was a bad load of gas?? I called and asked the mechanic, there ISN'T any fuel filter to change out. It and the fuel pump are together. Hmmm. Thousand dollar part, $180 part or ??? If anybody wants to give me their two cents, I'm open. Oh yeah, my light for the thermometer / clock has been going out, again starting with cold whether too...since back at 30,000 miles at least. I read on a Suzuki sight it's this wire that is loose, but I'm not feeling warm about trying to tear apart the dashboard. I have an after market carbon fiber dash kit installed and it looks a little 'pried at' right now; I don't want it to look worse.
