right. warranty is voided once you have your service maintenance done outside of the casa during the warranty period.

Had mine replaced before the warranty expires in 2014/15. Suzuki E. Rod replaced the entire rack & pinion assembly including the 2 stabilizers free of charge. I clocked 13k in my odometer, bought the car in 2012. I noticed that thug sound since day one, I complained about it but they told me to observe it first. No findings or what so ever from the service department I had it checked instead at Servitek & found out the problem. Its a factory defect!

I think Suzuki should be honest enough to admit a recall on this particular defect based on the complains from several owners who experience this kind of problem.

i'm also experiencing this noise.
replacement of bushing ba ang solution?
no need to replace the entire rack and pinion?
any good repair shops that you can recommend?

thanks!

My 2011 Swift had only 18,000km by the way. My regular maintenance (change oil) was done by my neighborhood gas station. I had the bolts tightened as suggested by direk but the problem still persisted. Then I had it serviced at an underchassis specialist.
To my dismay not only was the rack and pinion loose but also the rack end, tie rod end and stabilizer link bushings were also loose. I then had them repaired and the rack and pinion rebushinged. Now, problem solved. No more clunking noises on small potholes. I only hope that it will last. This is my first time having these parts repaired. I usually buy replacement parts (555) on my other cars before and this never happened on our 2004 vios and 2007 city which we bought brand new. I really like the Swift and I think that this problem only occurs to a few of their units. Too bad ours was one of the few. Lesson learned. When buying brand new, have it serviced at the casa to avail of the warranties. Just bear their high costs just for 3 years or 100,000kms, whichever comes first.

hi sir bugoyskiboy....

had my 2011 swift serviced last saturday at suzuki kalookan, 40k km. they're recommending for a replacement of my rack & pinion, w/c according to the one who had my swift test driven, is a common problem w/ swift model/s... my service advisor didn't guarantee me of a warranty claim, instead he filed a report & told me to follow up this week if it could be covered by the warranty. do i need to demand for a warranty claim?

btw, all my pms are done in suzuki service centers, mostly at suzuki kalookan (once in suzuki shaw, maybe 2x or 3x suzuki pasig)...

thanks!

Mga Ser,

Inquire ko lang, Nasira yung rear bumper ko for my 2008 Swift. I bought a 2007 bumper, would you know kung pasok po sya? Salamat!

Is there provision on the 2012 or 2013 Swift for an Aux audio input?

Don't quote me on this but I remember asking my SA about this since walang AUX input yung 2013 namin. He said that they can provide AUX input and place it sa compartment pero syempre may bayad hehe.

*direk/bugoyski,

Musta swift nyo after ng repair outside casa? Di na bumalik yun rattle/noise? Pa check ko sa jervy's yun swift ko this month. Thanks!
