Few issue in my new cultus VXL

[ahmedwaqar786]

Hello everyone.
We have just bought a new cultus and we all love it, the fuel efficiency, drive, etc. But all of us are abit worried due to some issues we are facing with the car. The car has currently ran 1100 km and will go for inspection and other things tweakings in one or two days
1. Recently we took the car on long trip and, while the drive was very smooth, the car started shaking as soon as I touched the 100km/hr mark and shook even more as I approached 120. What is the reason for this?
2. There was a strange sound while braking of tik tik tik especially when the brakes were applied at high speeds, and sometimes at low speeding too.
3. The engine when on idle, is vibrating. I don’t know wether this is normal or not because this is my first time with a new car (previously had two extremely used cars and there engine used to shake the whole car along with them)

These are the major ones as of now. Please if you can help it will be really helpful.
Thank you

I am not a big expert. But iguess the answer of your first Question is
Wheel alignment and balance..

[arslansarwar]

Your vehicle needs wheel balancing. Get it done ASAP.
Your car is still under warranty, go Suzuki dealership and ask them to fix all the issues. Check other cars in the workshop too, if they say that engine shaking is normal.

But my car is new. It shouldn’t have these issues so soon.

[ahmedwaqar786]

Thank you for the reply.
But is this issue common in new cars? Because we all worried due to this

[mohluvhonda]

Yes.. wheel alignment and balancing issue is normal in new cars.

The issues you've told are common in cultus. I too own a vxl. The engine vibration started after a few days i got it from the showroom and according to the mechanics at Azim motors its normal. The sound you hear when braking is, i think, from the rear brake drum. My car has it too but i haven't gotten time to get it checked. The same sound can be heard when the handbrake is up and the car moves.

1- 1st problem is wheel balancing we faced same issue when we took delivery of our Cultus
2- Ours has this too
3- The engine vibrates and when a door is open it shakes the door also. This is normal

[shahbaz496.sk56]

Yes its normal for new car.
Aur wesy bhi ye Europe nahi ke aik gari ko aik saal me alignment ki zarort na pre...

[arslansarwar]

Its a new generation of cultus and new models does cause some issues when they are released for the first time.
Like Civic X had issue with AC and bettery getting dry etc.
Don't worry. Take it to dealership and they'll fix it.
Did you check your tyre pressure? Which tyres are they?

[ahmedwaqar786]

Ok. Well thats a relief brother

[ahmedwaqar786]

Thank you. Will get the wheel balancing done soon.
Engine one is a real relief

[ahmedwaqar786]

Hahaha yes you are right.

[ahmedwaqar786]

Yes the tyre pressure was I think abit low. The tyres are however the company fitted ones.
Will get it checked in one or two days.
Thank you

[arslansarwar]

You'll see recommended tyre pressure on door panel. Follow that.
Get wheel balancing done asap.
Replace your tires with imported tyres like Yokohama or continental with a little big size.

Follow the suggestion me ruined above by @arslansarwar
As far as the engine vibration is concerned, its engine break-in period going on at the moment. (Every new vehicle has an engine break-in period). It'll be right after 2-3 engine oil changes done as per schedule. Use only company specified engine oil grade.

Suzuki cars have had wheel balancing issues lately I had it in my 2018 WagonR aswell. The dealer should fix it for you.

Tell them about brake sound something might be wrong it should be fixed.

About engine vibration it will remain, since it's a 3 cylinder engine it will remain like this.

[ahmedwaqar786]

Thank you everyone.
I will go to the showroom to get these issues fixed.
I was just worried that we got some faulty piece because it is our new car. It is really relieving to know that these issues are common in new vehicles.
Thank you
