2002 Suzuki Aerio problems
The Suzuki Aerio (also called the Liana – Life In A New Age – in China, Pakistan, Europe, Israel, South Asia, Taiwan and Australia or Baleno for sedan version in Indonesia) is a subcompact car that was built by Suzuki. It was introduced in 2001 as a replacement for the Suzuki Esteem/Baleno, with a tall 5-door SX model hatchback (for maximum inner room efficiency) and a 4-door sedan body. It featured two different 16-valve gasoline inline-four engines, with 1.5-litre and 1.8-litre, this one capable of 125 PS (92 kW; 123 hp) JIS. Production was discontinued in 2007 around the world and replaced by the Suzuki SX4, except in Pakistan (2006 to 2014) and China where production was continued by Changhe-Suzuki until 2019.
Overview
Models in North America got a larger and more powerful 2.0-litre engine with 145 hp (108 kW). A 5-speed manual transmission was standard with a 4-speed automatic optional. All-wheel-drive was available, but only with the automatic. American Aerios came in two trim levels: the S and GS (2002–2004), S and SX (2005), and Base and Premium (2006–2007). Key changes over the years included an upgrade to a new 2.3-liter 155 hp (116 kW; 157 PS) engine in 2004, a major styling and interior refresh in 2005 (replacing the digital instruments with conventional analog ones), and the standardization of antilock brakes in 2006. Only the Aerio sedan remained for 2007, as the hatchback had been shelved to make room for the new 2007 SX4 hatchback. Likewise, the Aerio sedan bowed out at year's end, making way for the 2008 SX4 Sport sedan. Throughout its run, the Aerio was distinct for being the most affordable car in America to offer all-wheel drive.
In Europe, where the car was called Liana (an acronym for Life In A New Age), it was seen as a more affordable alternative to small family cars or to mini MPVs, introducing a new generation of Suzuki M engines, with 1.3-litre and 1.6-litre I4 engine. All-wheel drive was available on the bigger engine. In 2004, the car was restyled with a look that closer resembled the Japanese version, and also received a Diesel engine, with a 16-valve version of the 1.4-litre HDi engine supplied by PSA Peugeot Citroën, capable of 90 PS (66 kW; 89 hp) thanks to common rail direct injection and a variable geometry turbocharger.
The Liana remained in production in Pakistan in 1.3-litre and 1.6-litre variants until 2014.

- VIN: JS1VT53A922
- Components: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
- Summary: FROM NEW THROUGH APPROXIMATELY 2000 MILES (WHEN THE DEFECTIVE PART WAS REPLACED), THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL ABRUPTLY WHEN THE THROTTLE WAS APPLIED FROM A STAND STILL. THIS HAPPENED SIX TIMES AND EACH WAS AT AN INTERSECTION WHERE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME COULD HAVE COLLIDED WITH THE VEHICLE AND CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY AS IT IS A MOTORCYCLE. THE SELLING DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED AND THEY INITIALLY HAD NO SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING THE POSSIBLE CAUSE. REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO GET INFORMATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER SUZUKI WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. THEY LOGGED THE COMPLAINT WITH THE DECLARATION THAT THEY HAD NO REPORTS OF SUCH FAILURES AND SUGGESTED I CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP WHICH I HAD. THE DEALER FINALLY GOT UNOFFICIAL WORD THAT THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR MAY BE AT FAULT. IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM SOLVED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH OTHERS WITH THE SAME MODEL MOTORCYCLE WHO EXPERIENCED SIMILAR STALLING AND THEY WERE UNSUCCESSFUL WHEN THEY CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AS WELL. IT IS MY CONCERN THAT MOTORCYCLES ARE BEING SOLD THAT COULD STALL UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. EVEN THOUGH MY BIKE IS FIXED, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE MANUFACTURER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY INSTEAD OF REMAINING IGNORANT. A RECENT CALL TO THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER BY A FRIEND REVEALED THEY STILL DENY ANY KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH A PROBLEM EXISTS, DESPITE SEVERAL OWNERS PREVIOUSLY REPORTING DIRECTLY TO THEM! DT

I'm really impressed with the quality of this car! It's so easy to handle and I'm definitely going to consider Suzuki when I'm ready to buy in the future. The build is top-notch and it's clear that it's built to last for years. The only thing it's missing is a cruise control, as the engine can easily exceed the speed limit if you're not careful.
-
I've been test driving this Sedan for a week now and it's been an absolute joy! The ride is incredibly smooth and quiet, even at legal speeds. While the engine can be a bit noisier when pushed, it's fortunately not something that needs to happen often. One of the most standout features of this car is its high seating position, which is only comparable to the Matrix/Vibe in this segment. This feature provides a great view of the road and makes getting in and out of the car a breeze. I was pleasantly surprised by the digital dash, and have come to love it for its accuracy and visibility.

What a great car! I couldn't find anything I don't like about it. It's quiet, quick, and I love the digital dash!

I bought this car in 2003 as a temporary solution after my previous car was totaled. Four years later, it's still going strong with no major issues. The interior is spacious and has plenty of headroom, even for someone as tall as me (6'3

I bought this car about 2 months ago and it's been a blast to drive! It's peppy and has plenty of room inside, with a huge trunk that can hold lots of items. The car comes fully equipped, but I paid extra for an armrest between the front seats. I test drove comparable models from Toyota, Ford, and Honda, but Suzuki is way out in front for the money. If the manufacturer advertises this car properly, it could become a real rival to its competitors.

Are you having problems with your 2002 Suzuki Aerio?
Rogelio Roob 2024-11-06
I've recently become a career test driver and have had the opportunity to test drive at least 5 or 6 cars in the past two weeks. While the handling of the Aerio was pretty good, I found it to be the least impressive of the bunch. If you're looking for an ugly car, I would recommend the Toyota Echo instead. Unfortunately, the salesperson didn't seem to believe in the product and didn't try to sell me on the car.
