THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED REGARDING THE CAMSHFT CHAIN TENSIONER WHICH INCLUDED REPLACING THE TENSIONER WITH A DIFFERENT PART. THIS RECALL WORK HAD ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. AFTER 7000 MILES THE TENSIONER FAILED AGAIN. IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. WITHIN 3000 MILES THE TENSIONER FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. AFTER ABOUT 15000 MORE MILES THE TENSIONER IS FAILING ONCE AGAIN. *JG
20020808ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
THE Y PIPE ON THIS VEHICLE HAS BECOME NOISY, AND LEAKS FUMES. THE VEHICLE HAS OXYGEN SENSORS WHICH CONNECT TO THIS PIPE TO KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING PROPERLY. THE COST TO REPLACE THIS PIPE IS EXCESSIVE , MORE THAN $400.00 , AND SUZUKI HAS HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THIS "Y" PIPE WHICH IS LOCATED BETWEEN THREE CAT. CONVERTERS, AND ALSO HAS A WAITING PERIOD TO GET. I BELIEVE THIS ITEM IS MADE CHEAP AND SUZUKI IS AWARE IT HAS A SHORT LIFE PERIOD . FURTHER I FEEL SUZUKI SHOULD REPLACE THIS ITEM AS A RECALL, AS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS A SAFETY INSPECTION WITH THE PIPE IN THIS CONDITION.
