I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND STARTED TO DRIVE THE CAR WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN BUT MY CAR DID NOT WANT TO GO FORWARD, MY CAR PULLED. I HAD TO STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR WITH MORE PRESSURE FOR IT TO GO FORWARD. I FINALLY GOT TO A SAFE AREA AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I LEFT IT OFF FOR ABOUT THREE MINUTES THEN PROCEEDED TO TURN IT ON AND DROVE OFF, I NOTICE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AT THAT POINT, AND DROVE TO MY MOTHERS HOME NEARBY WHERE MY BROTHER WHO IS AN AUTO TECH SCANNED MY CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR CODE CAME UP. HELP IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS? *JS

THIS SUZUKI NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ALTOGETHER! NO ONE SHOULD STILL BE DRIVING THESE. NOT ONLY CAN THE HEADLIGHTS OR BRAKE LIGHT SENSOR SWITCHES GO BAD AND JUST STOP WORKING, THEY OVERHEAT, DRAIN THE BATTERY, OVERWORK THE ALTERNATOR, WHICH THEN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, THE FALL DISPLAYS EVERY GEAR ALL AT ONCE EVEN WHILE IN DRIVE AND DISPLAYING A SPEED THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING. THE DOOR HANDLES BRAKE OFF, SO YOU CAN NOT ESCAPE THE DEATH TRAP. THEY HAVE BLOWN HEAD GASKET, MANY SMALL OIL LEAKS, TIRE PRESSURE GAGE PROBLEMS, TIRES/WHEELS WON'T ALIGN, THIS BALDS THE TIRE LOP SIDED SO TIRE BLOW OUTS OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY. HALF THE TONE IT WON'T EVEN GO, NOW OR WON'T START AT ALL. MANY MORE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE, BUYER BEWARE, DO NOT BUY THESE CARS! *TR

I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN REGARDS TO THE HEADLAMP SWITCH OR DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT (DRL) MODULE WHICH COULD MELT THE HEADLAMP SWITCH OR THE DRL MODULE.

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE LIGHT FLICKER WHEN STARTING CAR. *TR
