2007 SUZUKI FORENZA Complaints

MY TIRE WENT FLAT ON SATURDAY JULY 12TH, 2008 AND I WENT TO A LOCAL GAS STATION AND THEY CHECKED THE TIRE FOR ME. THEY TOOK IT APART AND FOUND NO HOLE IN THE TIRE AND REALIZED THAT MY VALVE WAS BROKEN WITH A SENSOR ATTACHED TO IT. THEY TOOK THE PART OUT AND REPLACED IT WITH A REGULAR VALVE WITHOUT THE SENSOR. I CALLED SUZUKI IN PLAISTOW, NEW HAMPSHIRE WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY REFERRED ME TO THE HOOKSETT LOCATION IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE HOOKSETT LOCATION ON JULY 19TH, 2008. I CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE THE PIECE I GAVE IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I ALSO FOUND OUT THE TIRE WAS NO GOOD BECAUSE IT KEPT GOING FLAT AND CAUSED DAMAGE. THEY COULDN'T REPLACE THE TIRE ITSELF FOR FREE SO I HAD TO COME OUT OF POCKET AND PAY FOR A NEW TIRE. THEY REPLACED THE VALVE WITH SENSOR ATTACHED FOR FREE, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL KEEP HAPPENING TO ALL MY TIRES AND THAT I WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. *TR

PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES BROKE AT THE BASE OF THE HANDLE. SON TRIED TO OPEN THE BACK DOOR (BEHIND DRIVER) AND THE HANDLE BROKE OFF IN HIS HAND. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS A CRACK IN IT FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM OF THE HANDLE. I EXPECT IT TO BREAK ANY DAY. BACK RIGHT PASSENGER LOCK DOES NOT RESPOND TO "UNLOCK" BUTTON WHEN IT IS PUSHED. ALL OTHERS RISE, THIS ONE STAYS DOWN. *TR
