2012 SUZUKI SX4 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 SUZUKI SX4. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER:14V811000 (POWER TRAIN) AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE ONLY FIVE PARTS A MONTH BEING RECEIVED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

UPON ENTERING AN INTERSECTION, THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO OPERATE RESULTING IN A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN THE FORCE REQUIRED TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES OR PEDESTRIANS. *TR

AT 48648 MILES THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING AN ISSUE. I CONTACTED SUZUKI IN CALIFORNIA AND THEY IN TURN INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED. THE COST CAN BE UP TO $3000 BEING THERE IS NO RECALL AND NO WARRANTY AFTER 36000 MILES. I HAVE A ISSUE WITH THAT ISSUE SEEING THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR YEARS 2007 - 2011 FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT WE INCLUDE ALL YEARS FROM 2007 - 2014 BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE YEAR 2007 - 2011. *TR

PASSENGER FRONT SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON, SENT TWO NOTES TO DEALER-NO REPLY WITH ALL THE TALK OF RECALLS OF SUZUKI I AM CONCERNED, WITH NO REPLY FROM DEALER EVEN MORE CONCERNED (5 STAR, ALTOONA, PA) (NEED TO VERIFY YEAR AND MILEAGE, CAR IS NOT HERE NOW). *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. I AM AFRAID THAT A SENSOR OR CONNECTION MAY CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO EITHER DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING OR NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A SENSITIVE ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!!! *TR

TL-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 SUZUKI SX4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE CUSHION IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. NE

I HAVE BRIDGESTONE TIRES ONLY ABOUT 29,500 MILES AND HAVE UNEVEN WEAR ON ALL MY TIRES I HAVE THEM ROTAED AT EVERY 3000 MILES THAT SHOULDN'T BE AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE PASSANGER SIDE IS OFF WHEN YOU SIT IN THE SEAT AND ON WHEN NO NONE SITS IN IT TVI TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY JUST SAY THAT THE PERSON DOES NOT WEIGH ENOUGH FOR IT TO COME ON. *JS

THE SUN MELTED MY SEAT AND SHIFTER AREA HERE IN FLORIDA. I IN FORM SUZUKI CORP. BUT THEY REFUSE TO REPLY TO THE ISSUE EVEN AFTER SUBMITTING PHOTOS AND GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP . I AM ALSO VERY CONCERN ABOUT FIRE STARTING IN THE CAR AS THE SUN MELTED THE INSIDE COULD AS WELL START A FIRE. THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY AND SUZUKI REFUSE IS TO REPLY. *TR

WHILE BRAKING TO STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, THE ENGINE SURGED RADICALLY AND COULD NOT STOP VEHICLE. THE CAR COASTED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION BEFORE VIOLENTLY JOLTING TO A STOP BEFORE HITTING THE CURB. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOLID AS A ROCK WHILE APPLYING. THIS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME TWO DAYS LATER. BOTH INCIDENCES WERE REPORTED TO THE DEALER WHEN THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED PERHAPS I WAS EITHER DRIVING USING TWO FEET ON THE PEDALS, OR ONE FOOT ON BOTH THE GAS AND BRAKE. THIS WAS NO SO...! THE DEALER HAS OFFERED TO SEND AN OUTSIDE ENGINEER TO INVESTIGATE PROBLEM BUT THE CAR HAS BEEN OPERATING WITHOUT INCIDENT AND TOLD THEM I WOULD CALL IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I LOVE THE CAR AND TRADED A 2002 SUZUKI WHICH I OWNED FOR 10 YEARS AND LOVED IT. *TR
