Common Problem

Dashboard and Electrical Issues

Several users have reported issues with the dashboard and electrical systems in the 2018 Suzuki Vitara. One user experienced multiple warning lights on the dash that would not turn off, including messages such as "Service ESP System" and "Service Start System". This issue could be related to a faulty sensor or a problem with the car's computer software, especially if these warnings appear intermittently or after specific driving conditions like rain or mountain driving.

Infotainment System Problems

The infotainment system in the 2018 Vitara has also been noted to have issues. Some users found that Android Auto did not work out of the box and required an update. Additionally, there are reports of the dashboard clock and infotainment clock being out of sync, which can be resolved by disabling GPS time sync in the settings.

Cruise Control and Limiter Malfunctions

There are instances where the cruise control system and speed limiter have stopped working properly. Even after taking the vehicle to an official repair shop, these issues seem to reoccur, indicating a potential underlying problem that may not be easily fixed.

General Reliability and Recalls

While some owners report their Vitaras as generally reliable, there have been recalls for certain models, particularly related to brake issues. It's advisable to check for any outstanding recalls on your vehicle. Additionally, some users have mentioned minor issues like a high clutch bite point, which is more of an adjustment issue rather than a defect.

USB Port Failures

A common minor issue reported is the failure of the USB port over time. While dealerships might charge a lot for repairs, this issue can often be fixed by addressing connection problems at the plug, such as cracked solder joints.
