DId some thinking this past weekend with respect to my local dealer dumping the Suzuki franchise.
I got a VM from the area zuke rep that said oh, your next closest dealer is down in wexford.  Well I already knew that so this was of little help.
I called that dealer and they said rather reluctantly they could do warranty work but they offer no vehicle for loan unless I rent a car from them for about 30 bucks a day.
I also called the GM at my local dealer where I bought the vehicle, left two messages on his VM and never got a call back.  Seems he can't be bothered to help a customer.

What it boils down to is I have an "orphan" vehicle here and in this area, zuke stuff is near impossible to find.  Even the dealer had to wait two weeks just to get an alternator when mine puked at 4K.  I can see getting any kind of repairs done on this thing being a pain in the ass.  I don' t need those kinds of headaches.

Tomorrow I will call the bank to find the payoff and see what deal I can work out to dump this and get a vehicle that can be serviced anywhere I go.
Shame too, this little rig was good to me but no sense in driving something that can't be fixed should it break.

Its been nice being on this board and I leave knowing that you guys are tops on my list.  Good luck to all and may god bless each and every one of you.

Sorry zig, no zukimelt this year for me.  :-[

Call Suzuki 714.996.7040 and ask to speak with someone who can help you with your problem. It doesn't sound like Suzuki can actually 'win' in your particular situation but who knows? :)

Good luck.

I dont think you HAVE to own a zook to enjoy these boards. No reason to leave. Besides, you have already planted and let germinate the evil seed. You will buy another zook someday.

Yeah man, just cause you dump the Zuk doesn't mean you have to leave.

Sorry to hear of your problems.

I know your problem.  Looking for a steel 3rd member, I had to drive and hour just to order it.

I vote:  Get a Tracker!!  Lot's of GM dealers.

Out of protest I will be junking my Sami to the nearest junkyard. If they can't treat there costomers better than that than bye bye zookie. Hey, What do you guys think of those CRV's? They're hot!








































J/K
Sorry about your probs! Nothing personal here but I think I'd be O.K. with them not supplying the rental car. After all they(the dealer) didn't make the sale so they probably feel that they don't owe it to you. After all you didn't buy a high dollar sports car or something. CRV's R not Hot :P
