What are signs my Suzuki drivetrain is damaged?

How often should I come in for Suzuki Kizashi differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

What causes a Kizashi’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Kizashi can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Is it possible to reset the Kizashi malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Kizashi’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems.

By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Kizashi?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Kizashi should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my Kizashi transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Kizashi’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Kizashi forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2013 Suzuki Kizashi

Your Kizashi drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Kizashi’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2013 Suzuki Kizashi to maintain its performance power. Follow Suzuki's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Suzuki Kizashi Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2013 Suzuki Kizashi drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Suzuki Kizashi may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Suzuki Kizashi doesn’t drive like it used to.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 2013 Suzuki Kizashi drivetrain repair is expensive. Some smaller differential fixes, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Major repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
