Engine 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

Best answer (according to Dakota)
Turns out it the cvt transmission had stuffed itself. I could've broken down in middle of nowhere if I had not gone to mechanic when I did. I dont know the specifics on what exactly caused the failure of it though

Suzuki Swift Sport 1532km
My swift Sport covered only 1532 km, yes approx. 950 miles on the clock. The car is 3 yrs 9 month old. Suddenly only third and fourth gears engaged. When I went to our local (Malta) dealer to see if ever Suzuki company had re called to such fault , I was told in the Negative. The only answer that the local agent had from mother company was that the car is no more under warranty and my claim to fix it for free doesnt apply anymore even though with such a very low mileage. The only problem that has been discovered (by myself now) with my car was just a bush at the very end of the shifter cable. Suzuki didnt bother to dig deep in the matter when car with that low mileage experienced such fault. Absolutely upset no more sukuzi s for me. Any help how to remove centre console so I can replace the cable s bush please.

Replace gear liver if your clutch is hard so replace clutch plate
CommentAutomatic transmission hits
Suzuki Swift 2015 958 miles
Good morning. I have recently bought an automatic Swift 2015 and occasionally, when setting the lever on drive, it feels that the transmission hits. This is a signal that it is damaged, right? Is it an ordinary problem that this cars' automatic transmissions fail? What should I do? My car does not even have 650 miles.

You should take your car to the agency and it must be either repaired or changed without any costs because it's got warranty. Besides this, I recommend you to warm up your car for at least 3 minutes in the morning before starting; that will make your automatic transmission last longer, as the oils start lubricating the interior of the box. Hope it helps.

Suzuki Swift 2018 72000 miles
I recently took the car for a service and a battery change. I noticed that when nthey binstalled the battery they did not place a backup supply on the OBD port as everything had zero'd, clock radio etc etc. The guy said thats only needed on start stop vehicles. ( i am not stupid ). Since the battery change the following errors have appeared to which the mechanic claims that the cameras break very easily and also because we are in a very hot country and the sun burns them they break easily. To which i claim BULLSHIT.
The reason i am now faced with these's errors is because of the battery chan… Read complete

Thank you!
But my car went into the garage at the start of January and is still there now - it’s so frustrating.
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.
Thanks
