#404 of 424 Re: Looking at 2004 Aerio [rarchimedes] by carthell Oct 15, 2008 (4:52 pm)
Replying to: rarchimedes (Oct 15, 2008 12:33 pm) During my last oil change, I asked my local shop to check the battery; the shop replaced the battery posts and connections, which were corroded. It helped somewhat. I'll see about checking the other conditions later this week. Thank you!   -d

Replying to: logmgr (May 11, 2008 12:07 pm) Looks like I read the wrong maintenance interval in my manual. My favorite maintenance shop looked at my ATF, and it was black. 89,32x miles on the clock. The shop recommended that I have a specialist change the fluid; they didn't want to touch it.   I looked up the situations that could come with black ATF sloshing within my system, and things simply don't look that good even if I choose a professional flush. Fortunately, I am a zealous saver and can take the potential hit (it will be painful, regardless).   The next time I get an offer for a fluid change at 30k or 60k, I won't hesitate taking it.

Replying to: carthell (Feb 14, 2009 1:11 am) The only way the fluid was "black" at 89 K would be if you overheated the vehicle engine or ran it low on trans fluid causing the trans to overheat ! !!!!!!!   I have ran MANY cars up to 100 K before changing trans fluid....never had a problem.   As far as them not wanting to touch it...that is just plain STUPID...I don't care who changes the fluid if it is truly "black"....the result will be the same.   I bet you have burnt the transmission up...overheated the bands....thus "black" fluid.   BTW: I now have an 06 with 392K on it...tranny fluid has only been chnaged twice...it is not black now...nor was it ever.
#407 of 424 TSB # And Information by jagzowner Apr 23, 2009 (5:38 pm)
I have an 06 SX. The Passenger side rear tire wore on the inside. I asked my mechanic to research for a TSB and he found it. It is for 04 - 06 SX. There are serial numbers on it so beware, there are not many which I found strange. My serial # was 2 off from the TSB. MY Suzuki Dealer was a little reluctant but called the factory rep for me. They are performing the TSB no charge. The TSB # is TS 05 11225, date of issue is 11/22/2005. There is a part required for the AWD cars, part #27610-54G00. It is the Viscous Coupling, but the dealer said they are replacing the entire rear drive shaft! The 2 wd requires the Rear Control Rod Assy part # 46300-60G21. There is a new Alignment for the rear, all models.   Hope this helps for anyone who has an isue wth Rear Tire premature wear.
#408 of 424 Power window problem by bob_m May 18, 2009 (5:12 pm)
Out of the blue, my right front window will not raise. I have a 2003 Aerio SX staight stick. All the other windows work OK. What gives? Help! Replies to this message: bob_m (May 20, 2009 5:14 pm) carthell (May 27, 2009 6:37 pm)

Replying to: bob_m (May 18, 2009 5:12 pm) Never mind! I must have pressed the window disable switch. You can tell how much I use that switch. Live and learn. Replies to this message: carthell (May 27, 2009 6:37 pm)

Replying to: bob_m (May 20, 2009 5:14 pm) I don't think the window lock switch on the driver's side affects anything but the rear windows. I'll check my unit tomorrow.
#411 of 424 Aerio SX A/C Problem by michaelwhite7 Jul 10, 2009 (4:51 pm)
I have a 2003 Suzuki Aerio SX wagon. Up until now we have had no big problems with it. Its a 4 banger automatic with 76,500 miles on the odometer. Its been well maintained and cared for. However, the other day the A/C started doing something strange, the driver side is blowing warm air and the passenger side is blowing cold. I called my local dealership and spoke with an advisor but that was certainly a joke! He tells me that there is no way that could be happening because it the air all comes thru the same hose whether its coming from the heater core or the a/c! Any help on what this might be or what it might take to fix it would greatly be appreciated! Replies to this message: caribbeanaj (Jul 14, 2009 11:11 am) dkarasin (Jul 15, 2009 9:09 am)

Replying to: michaelwhite7 (Jul 10, 2009 4:51 pm) I have the same exact problem and have no clue, someone told me it might be moved cuz I had remote starter and alarm installed.

Replying to: michaelwhite7 (Jul 10, 2009 4:51 pm) I have a similar post see #346. I bet that you will also have a problem with the heat doing the same thing the side that now blows cold air will blow hot when the heat is on and the side blowing hot will blow cold. I took the car to two different dealers near me spending ~$400 at each. Neither dealer could fix it. I have a theory that one of the vent doors either broke or is out of place. The side that does not work is just blowing outside air into the compartment. In my area (upstate NY) the problem is worse in the winter. I had access to a 4 channel temperature logger and took data on the trip home from work to prove the problem to the first dealer. I complined to Suzuki America and got no help. I was told by them "sir your car has heat".   If you have comprehensive insurance your best bet will be to hit a deer and total the car.   One more note. I have not been able to drive my `03 SX since 1/6/09 when the engine died.(92k miles and still under warranty). I took it to the dealer, they agreed by the sound that the engine was bad and told me they needed ~$300 to pull the pan and head to take pictures for Suzuki for authorization of the engine replacement. I knew then that I was going to get screwed. They told me the engine was bad and that I ran it out of oil, which of course is not true. After the dealer threatend to start charging storage I towed the car home and got a better look at it with a few car friends. Neithe the dealer or Suzuki would say more than the motor was bad. We found that the skirt on the #3 piston was broken and a stationary cam chain guide was broken. I don't see even if the car was run low on oil how it could cause either problem. Suzuki still asserts that it is my problem.   Suzuki will act in bad faith every time. Get rid of your problem car as soon as you can it will only get worse.
