Re: Kizashi AWD issues

Welcome ! I wouldn't be surprised at all if the traction control light disabled the AWD, just when you need it the most. The car tends to overreact in strange ways.

Re: CVT First service in 100kms (62k miles)

Welcome Oilime3000 ! Problems 1, 2, 4, and 6 are all due to the horrible choice Suzuki made putting a CVT in the car. Definitely get it serviced, there's a lot on this site about how to go about that, as this is the biggest problem with a Kizashi. Bluetooth was available with the higher trim level K...

Re: Kizashi is making a new noise...

Sounds as if you've got a good sense of where to look. Old Tech has stated numerous times that the belt tensioner is problematic. You can take off the belt and run the engine for a couple of seconds, if the sound goes away then you're down to water pump, alternator, A/C compressor, two idlers, and t...

Re: Parts

Welcome beccamac ! Forgot that yesterday. The link to MegaZip is a good source IF YOU NEED DEALER PARTS.

I'm back

Got a laptop for birthday/christmas and I can log in just fine here. I've been reading all along, just couldn't post.
