2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara XSport

Posted: Sat. Nov. 30 09:14:44 2019

Look at this extra clean inside and outside 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara 4WD runs and drives perfect. All power options work normal. We do offer finance to all customers call or text us today 630-791-5586 to schedule a test drive. ll with aplomb. (but like reviews say, not a "lot" of ground clearance, so need to be careful)

Then you have the "not-so-well-thought-out" annoyances:

For a while, we fought the infamous "battle of the headlights" -- the bulbs are really hard to reach, burn out "a lot" (probably due to poor connectors), etc. -- Finally just ordered some replacement headlight housing "assemblies" from Amazon, came with neat little spring clips to hold the bulbs in, got some jumper kits to make better contact with the bulbs -- it's been a year or more since we had a bulb go out...

Kinda hard on front brake pads, make "sure" you get the ceramic type (parts stores will try to sell you "original" metallic pads, but Suzuki themselves changed to ceramic pads later on)

Heater controls are kind of flaky; mostly heat & A/C work great, but sometimes heater gets "confused", blows air out where it's not selected, fails to defrost, etc. -- some of this is due to the cabin air filter, which really needs to be regularly changed (it collects the most amazing variety of dirt, leaves, bugs, small birds, etc.).

Recently (172,000) experienced an impressive "systems failure"; apparently the "speed sensor" gave out, set the check engine light, set off the ABS system, the ESP system, wife was afraid to keep driving.

Finally located a speed sensor (one source in N. America apparently),
that cured a lot of things. But still having ABS and ESP issues -- shop thinks its because one or both rear ABS sensors are quitting. "And", it's now setting a code that the 4wd Low switch circuit has failed.

So I don't know if the car got struck by lightning, an EMP burst, or just decided to commit "SUV-a-cide" -- this may take full diagnostics to sort out (shiver...). Or maybe the "CAN bus" has turned into the "CAN't bus" (bad joke, sorry)

"But", it still motors along like nothing's really wrong --
