Re: New TSB (extended crank/ hard start)

official word from Suzuki and their District manager is in, and unfortunately the dealer must be able to duplicate the issue before the re-flash, despite the fact that it is an intermittent issue. I wonder why they even put out the TSB, and Kizashi apparently doesn't "record" any service a...

Re: new tires

tested tires in rain today, performed very well, AWD off. Original tires were good in rain as well, these do it without all the noise, not to mention a much more comfy ride...its like the difference between a Toyota and Lexus. One thing that I did not like about the Dunlops were the ice and snow per...

Re: new tires

yep, these were the 18" ones. Ride quality is significantly improved as well, you still obviously feel the bumps in the road but the impact is reduced drastically. The price is comparable to the Dunlop tires, i'm surprised Suzuki didn't go with these. Also, the tires have DWS on the thread itse...

Re: new tires

so I actually got these tires, I just could not find a better alternative. I had Discount Tire sipe the tires as well, its my first time doing it, so we will see if anything goes wrong with the tires. I figured they are a huge retailer and would not do a service that could harm their reputation. The...

new tires

so at 25,500 miles, the tires are all worn out. I'm thinking about Continental ExtremeContact DWS from Discount Tire, total package at one grand including "hazard" certificate. What do you guys think about these tires? should I get their hazard certificate? http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs...

Re: New TSB (extended crank/ hard start)

asked about this today at the dealer, checked the car and said it doesn't apply since the car didn't do it in front of them and there was no record of an extended crack time, refused to update the ECM.

i've had it happen 5-6 times in 25k miles.

so annoying :roll:

Re: engine vibration

JakeRam, I think our cars are doing the same thing, so maybe it's not so out of ordinary i guess.

naviguy...good call about the tach dropping, i have to look at it next time, but you're right, it does feel like it would almost stall...except that it never does :)

engine vibration

as i'm about to hit 23k on the '10 SLS AWD, i'm noticing a slight vibration of the engine as the car comes to a stop, it happens almost with every stop now and it's only when stopping. It would last 2-3 seconds at most and if my hands were not on the steering wheel i may not have even felt them. No ...
