Problem overview

Some Suzuki Grand Vitara owners report experiencing cruise control malfunctions, which may stem from issues with the cruise control switch, failed control modules, or sensor and throttle problems. These owners have noted that checking the stoplight switch can sometimes resolve these cruise control issues. Additionally, some owners report hard starting problems, where the vehicle may take 5-6 seconds to crank over, often due to battery, alternator, or starter failures. There are instances where starting issues are linked to broader electrical problems, including blower motor issues and the engine light illuminating alongside cruise control failures. It is important for owners to systematically diagnose these issues to effectively identify and address the root causes.
