This new discussion is for owners of 2006 Grand Vitara 4x4 SUV with the automatic transmission. If you are experiencing a vibration while accelerating between 45-60 MPH, then please post your comments here. This is an on-going problem for many of us and we need to make sure that Suzuki of America hears us loud and clear, and developes a solution. |

Replying to: vitara4me (Oct 26, 2006 2:40 pm) This is in line with the speed mentioned and in 4th gear. It's definitely there while driving also and gets stronger if the engine is under load. I have no idea though what they could do about it after the fact sort of re-designing the engine...

Replying to: vitara4me (Oct 26, 2006 2:40 pm) I am what you would call a Suzuki enthusiast...I purchased my first tin-top Samurai new in 1986 and traded it in w/ 110,000 on the clock on a new 1992 4-door Sidekick, and imagine that, it never came close to rolling over the sami! I currently own a 1991 Samurai that is significantly modified for off-road use and haven't rolled that one either, on-road or off. That roll over crap was just to kill its sales over here (jeep sales were suffering in 87 & 88). Anyway, back on topic... I hope that someone posts up what Suzuki determines as the cause for this. I know about driveline vibrations, and this didn't feel like wheels or driveshafts to me. However, the theory on the fuel delivery that someone posted earlier is a very possible cause.

Replying to: harp666 (Nov 01, 2006 2:17 am) Early production 2006 GV's had some issues with vibration that was taken care of with the addition of a dynamic damper (there is a TSB on this with the VIN break, but it was basically any GV built before Aug 2005). Later 2006 and 2007 GV's have had no issues with vibration at speed. |

I have had this problem with drivetrain vibration since delivery. The dealer has been very good about applying all suggested fixes from Suzuki. The initial problem was vibration at about 100 kph. The latest mod has added a vibration during acceleration between 50 and 70 kph. I know it is the driveshaft(s?) that is at fault because the dealer had eliminated the vibration almost completely after one of the mods, which unfortunately returned after a transmission leak repair. My take in this is that the way the driveshafts are installed is very critical requiring a specific procedure that Suzuki has not perfected yet. The fix is possible because it was vibration free at one point. Except for this, it is a terrific vehicle, a pleasure to drive and great dealer service.
