Suzuki Grand Vitara unexpected acceleration with engine revving to 7000 RPM on Suzuki Grand Vitara

Problem overview

Some Suzuki Grand Vitara owners report experiencing unexpected acceleration, with the engine revving up to 7000 RPM, potentially due to several underlying issues. These may include a sticking throttle that keeps the engine open, leading to high RPMs. Additionally, a clogged Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can contribute to this erratic behavior. Owners also note acceleration hesitation, which could stem from a faulty EGR valve, engine idling issues, or other mechanical problems. Furthermore, some report that transmission issues might be causing the engine power to not effectively transfer to the wheels, resulting in increased RPMs without a corresponding increase in speed. It is recommended that affected owners consult a qualified mechanic or Suzuki dealership for a thorough inspection and proper diagnosis.
