Replying to: badsuzuki (Jul 11, 2006 9:10 am) I have the same vibration you have, the dealer had replaced drive shafts rear and front but it reach small effect so they install stabilizer part on got from suzuki especialy for this vibration issue the rear, which mean that suzuki know about this vibration problem on the NEW GV , SUZUKI send this stabilizer part,anyway it dosnot help , last week i have rabalnced the weels in adeffrent way which seems that help to decrees the vibration to alow level. soft vibrate still appear at 80 kph or 2200 rpm very soft vibration but still there ,the problem is the 2200 rpm is a cruse drive and its make me nerves every time i drove for along distance i wonder if suzuki the mother company has a technical support how can show us(the customers) what to do

Replying to: shlomozv (Jul 11, 2006 12:51 pm) With my GV I cannot say that I have this problem, surely not enough to be noticed by any passengers (like if I'm sitting as a passenger, which is not often, I cannot notice anything), but when driving I can say yes, I can feel something really really small through the steering, nothing that can be eared or be annoying, or may be I'm just too used of the vibration I was getting with the Cherokee!!! And even then, it didn't do anything wrong to it, I drove it for 10 years, may be it's also the reason why I find the GV so smooth.

Replying to: xostnot (Jul 10, 2006 10:25 pm) Of pretty great interest on the one I saw, was a first look/drive of the four cylinder turbocharged '07 Acura RDX. The EXPENSIVE, upgraded sister ship to the all new '07 Honda CRV which is also due out in the next while. Have to say it to the predominate number of ON road warriors out there?, the new CRV ought to be the clear pick of the litter when it debuts, assuming one doesn't face significant obstacles on route to the cottage. For the rest of we present or still prospective future new GV owners, (xostnot, etc.), needing a tougher vehicle forr certain applications, I hope these initial problems with the new GV prove: 1.) isolated, and 2.) soon ironed out. But you know, as a postscrip here, doesn't this yet again beg the question, why didn't Suzuki concentrate instead by making their own less complex YET ALL NEW own economical four cylinder version of their historic standard bearer, the Vitara/Escuido class of vehicles? Instead, "it's" just gotta have a six, then, so what?, hey, lets butt heads with the likes of the CRV, and others, while diluting more than just a bit, the prior standard level off Suzuki offf road capabilities, (in the new GV), in the process? Hmmm, the jury still seems out re: the wisdom of it all, to me at least.... Nwdsmn.

Well, after racking up about 7k miles on my '06 GV it has developed an annoying rattle in the interior rear of the vehicle. It rattles when I am driving on moderately rough roads particularly when the rear passenger side tire hits a "bump" in the road. To try an pinpoint the problem, I've driven with the rear cargo cover, spare tire cover, and rear headrests removed, but the problem remains. I suspect that it is the center seat belt mechanism inside the seat but not sure. My local dealer took it for a drive, but of course they claim that they didn't hear anything... Anyone else experience this? Noel |

Replying to: norwoodsmn (Jul 13, 2006 11:10 am) I understand what you're getting at about the new GV. But I think we have to admit the sales figures show they made a good decision as far as the market goes. Given their background, the new GV could hardly be doing better than it is unless they were giving them away in cereal boxes. And in most of the world, the need for a product such as you'd like to see, is covered by other Suzuki models such as the Jimny. When you look at the GV's sales last year in North America, it's easy to conclude there's not enough people who want that sort of car. No bad vibes yet with our GV. BTW, someone's trying to get an '06 GV exclusive website going here: http://www.metatrox.net/GV/ |

I watched the entire episode of Motoring 2006 for this week, and no segment on the GV. So I checked their schedule, and the entry for it has been replaced by the report on the Honda Ridgeline.
