2012 SUZUKI SX4 Complaints

THE MAT THAT YOU SIT ON THAT TURN ON THE SAFETY AIR BAGS FAILED CONTACTED SUZUKI THERE IS A RECALL BUT REFUSE TO FIX MINE.. FOUR OF MY FRIENDS OWN SAME CAR AND THEY RECEIVED THERE RECALL FROM SUZUKI ON THERE SX4 THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHICH COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH

TAKATA RECALL I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I REAR ENDED A CAR THAT WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT ON A CITY STREET, SPEED LIMIT 25-35, GOING UPHILL. UPON IMPACT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE FRONT OF MY CAR WAS SEVERELY CRUSHED HAVING GONE UNDER THE SUV. SPARE TIRE ON SUV SAVED MY LIFE. I BELIEVE THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOUD HAVE DEPLOYED.

I HAD MY CAR REPAIRED IN A RECALL IN JAN 2015 (ITS CODE IS VL). AFTER ABOUT ONE MONTH I FOUND SOMETIMES IT WAS DIFFICULT TO MOVE THE STICK OUT OF PARK. IT WAS A RANDOM ISSUE SO I DIDN'T TAKE IT SERIOUS AT THAT TIME. RECENTLY THE ISSUE HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY. I CALLED SUZUKI CUSTOMER SERVICE ON MARCH 28, 2016 AND THEY TOLD ME TO HAVE THE CAR DIAGNOSED AT A LOCAL AUTHORIZED DEALER. I WENT TO THE DEALER ON THE SAME DAY. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE PART THAT WAS REPLACED IN THE RECALL IN JAN 2015 NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, BUT IT ALREADY PASSED THE WARRANTY WHICH IS ONE YEAR. I CALLED THE SUZUKI CUSTOMER SERVICE AGAIN AND THEY GAVE ME THE SAME ANSWER: THEY WARRANTY ON THAT PART ALREADY EXPIRED. I JUST FIND ON THE NATSA WEBSITE SUZUKI RELEASED A REVISED DOCUMENT (RCORRD-14V811-4872.PDF) ON FEB 18, 2015 SAYING THEY "HAVE RECEIVED REPORTS OF SHIFTING DIFFICULTY IN SOME SX4 VEHICLES AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED." AND THEY RELEASED A REVISED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (RCRIT-14V811-3386.PDF) ON FEB 27, 2015. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED IN JAN, 2015, AND AFTER THAT I DID NOT RECEVIE ANY NOTICE ABOUT THE REVISED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. I THINK THE CAR ISSUE I AM HAVING IS DUE TO THEY DID NOT FOLLOW THE REVISED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. AND I THINK SUZUKI SHOULD REPAIR IT AT NO CHARGE. THANKS

I WAS DRIVING FROM PA TO MD FOR VACATION. SUDDENLY THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IN MY DASH PANEL. THE LIGHT HAS STAYED ON TO THIS DAY. I HAVE CONTACTED SUZUKI AND BECAUSE IT IS PAST WARRANTY ON THAT PART OF THE CAR, THEY WILL NOT EVEN LOOK AT WHY. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY SOMEONE ALMOST $100 TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, NOT REPAIRED! I DON'T THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO DO THIS SINCE THEY HAVE A HISTORY OF HAVING ISSUES WITH THEIR AIRBAGS! I WANT THEM TO LOOK AT IT - NO CHARGE - AND REPAIR THE ISSUE! IT HAS TO BE FIXED BEFORE JANUARY 2016 OR MY CAR WILL NOT PASS ANNUAL INSPECTION.

THE CONTACT RECEIVED MEDICAL TREATMENT. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP FOR INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND WAS TO SEND A TECHNICIAN TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING ON THE MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE THE REMEDY TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE EVERY TIME YOU SHIFT GEARS THE CLUTCH MAKES UNUSUAL SOUND.

SUZUKI IS CONDUCTING A RECALL UNDER CAMPAIGN 14V811000. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER LISTED ON MY NOTIFICATION LETTER FROM SUZUKI, I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY HAD ENDED THEIR CONTRACT WITH SUZUKI, AND THAT, ALTHOUGH THEY COULD DO THE WORK, SUZUKI WOULD NOT REIMBURSE THEM FOR IT. BECAUSE THE NEAREST DEALER OTHER THAN THAT LOCATION IS A ONE-WAY 2.5 HOUR DRIVE, I CONTACTED SUZUKI. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, AS NHTSA PROHIBITED THEM FROM REIMBURSING FOR REPAIRS OUTSIDE THEIR CURRENT DEALER NETWORK. SINCE SUZUKI STOPPED SELLING PASSENGER CARS IN NORTH AMERICA, THEY HAVE LET THEIR SERVICE NETWORK ATROPHY, DESPITE PUBLIC PROMISES TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO VEHICLE OWNERS.
