Lot of problems in my new car :( was created by MrMarwanH
Note: if my topic posted on the wrong thread, please move it to the correct one.

Hello,
I just got my brand new 2015 Suzuki jimny AT, and I noticed a lot of problems :

1- my steering wheel shakes as long as I drive, ranging from very small vibration to shaking a bit rough.

2- the performance is not constant driving on the same rood and on the same conditions, meaning sometime I can accelerate to 120 easily (take long but it do it) and some times I just can't, the car sound so uncomfortable doing that.

3- some times the air conditioning is cold as ice in mid day (temperature reach 50 in my country) and some time its not cold in the evening.

4- while i wait at traffic light the car shakes (steering wheel and from beneath the car) even though the RPM reading is constant.

5- steering wheel is sometimes very eash to turn using one hand, sometimes i need both hands because it get hard, sometimes when I reverse the wheel don't turn completely.

Definitely sounds like a warrantee return.. My 2015 Jimny purrs and behaves itself... so should yours (Maybe the Tonka sticker I put on the rear wheel cover keeps the problems away ??)

well item 5.) the steering wheel easy/hard to turn and item 3.) air con issue are most likely related as they're both on the same drive belt.

and 4.) shaking when stationary and 1.) shaking when driving are probably related - so maybe engine mounts or similar issues.

and a dodgy sensor or EGR valve can give performance issues as in 2.) someone here will be able to remember which one

but think you need to visit a garage/mechanic to sort things
