CommentEngine feels jumpy when idling or accelerating
Suzuki Swift 2008 Hatchback 76428 miles
I’ve been into the garage twice now and currently spent $2.5 k on fixes that haven’t worked: brand new engine + a whole new set of coils but the issue has continued.
I spoke the garage again and asked about the transmission mount and they said they tested it but there’s no issues showing - so what else could it possibly be??
It feels like the car is jerking or the accelerator is failing while I’m driving - it’s like a small jerk and makes me think the engine is about fail while I’m driving but then the issue will stop for a minute and then do it again. Repeatedly

I have only purchased a 2008, 1200cc suzuki swift 3 days ago and I am having this problem.
Please let me know if you find a solution! Speaking to other people it’s typically just an issue with the coil so best bet is to start there.
But my car went into the garage at the start of January and is still there now - it’s so frustrating.

@SarahHi Sarah,
I'm currently in the process of it being inspected through AA pre checks, and if any other problem arises with the swift then I can book it into the garage to get it well looked at, In hopes they pick up the problem then I can let you know how I go.

@SophHi Soph, was AA able to pick up what is the cause for the problem?
Thanks
Thanks
Finally fixed!!! Oh my . Turns out it needed a new computer . Fixed everything never been better. Problem stopped straight away
What it means new computer, update the ECU with computer or you change the ECU?
I am also facing same issue, changed spark plug and coils whereas still issue persists. looking for best guidance. Thank you
Sarah, this problem of yours occurred two years ago. Did you finally solve it, how?
CommentRevolutions failure
Suzuki Swift 2013 21000 miles
Two weeks ago, I bought a Swift 2013 and today, when driving on a highway at 75 mph at 4th gear, the car jerked softly. When I tried to change it to 5th gear, I noticed revolutions could not be changed and it remained at 4th gear for a while. When it finally changed to 5th, the jerks disappeared but the engine lost power. After some time driving, the engine service symbol turned on and, when reducing the speed to park the car, I felt as if the car were about to stall and it vibrated considerably. The car was towed to the agency where I was told it was posibly a problem with the spark plugs. The vehicle was scanned and it was indicated that there was a starting failure. I would like to know if someone had this inconvenient. Thanks.

There are two things that need to be done: replace any burnt spark plugs - I recommend you to choose iridium ones- and clean the throttle body. And regarding the check indicator that appeared, you simply turn the engine off and start it again and it will not be there any longer. Hope the information helps you solve your problem.
Not iridium. They use a very special spark plug. Was reading about it in another forum a half hour ago. Back to this problem I am beginning to suspect some ecm used are faulty. ? There is a large number of non mechanical symptoms being found by some owners. As the quality of machinery is high going by Suzuki reputation maybe connection resistance, waterproofing , and sensor damage or failure is the real cause. My 2016 model is occasionally absolutely gutless. Mainly noticed when overtaking has to be abandoned through lack of response ! Agency say all perfect !
I used suzuki swift year 2012 1.5L
Lately the problem is coming

Comment2015 swift stalls, jerks and Doesn't accelerate
Suzuki Swift 2015 Hatchback 100000 miles
So after coming to a stop the car doesn't move off, even if my foot is flat. If it does move it would fly forward and jerk. I’ve had the throttle body clean and a service but it Dosent work. Right now nobody can figure out what’s wrong. It started happening once in a blue moon to happening every day now. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Nope, they told me it’s the transmission but I didn’t worry about it. I sold the car
So I had a similar issue where my car would shut off completely in traffic. So I ended up changing the transmission in the car. And reprogram it to work with my engine. And that's why put in it on a computer and it works well now, if I put it in reverse and I reverse really hard. The after putting it in dryer, the car will be like shaking profusely or if I turn the AC. On. It won't happen but overall. The transmission was bad and it fixed the car shutting offSo I had a similar issue where my car would shut off completely in traffic. So I ended up changing the transmission in the car.

Jerks when starting cold only in 1st gear.
Suzuki Swift 2013 SWIFT HATCHBACK 1.4 GA, manual 67 miles
Suzuki SWIFT HATCHBACK 1.4 GA, manual, year 2013, 67 miles, 108 thousand km. It jerks when starting cold and only in 1st gear. When it reaches normal temperature it no longer jerks. I checked the spark plug coils and they are fine. I changed the spark plugs. I changed the air filter. And it keeps jerking in 1st gear when cold. Has anyone had this same problem and solved it? How did you solve it?
