2008 SUZUKI SX4 Complaints

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE ACCORDING TO THE SYMBOL ON THE DASH BOARD.

POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY FAILS WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHOWING ENGINE FAILURE & HARD STEERING ISSUES.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSISTENTLY ON AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT IT'S THE PASSENGER SEAT THAT IS CAUSING THE LIGHT TO BE ACTIVATED. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY THE DEALER APPROXIMATELY $2000.00 TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SEAT AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT? SUZUKI SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF SOMEONE IS HURT OR POSSIBLY KILLED IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG ISN'T ACTIVATED, BECAUSE OF A SEAT MAT THAT THEY PLACED IN THE VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT SEEMS THAT OTHER DRIVER'S OF SUZUKI SX4 CARS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MITSUBISHI DEALER THAT IS HANDLING SUZUKI REPAIRS FOR SUZUKI IN RESPONSE TO THE RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR ISSUE RELATED TO THE AIRBAG. THE DASH LIGHT FOR AIRBAG ERROR NO LONGER APPEARED AFTER THAT FIX, BUT IT RETURNED WITHIN THREE MONTHS. THE MITSUBISHI DEALER SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED.

I HAVE A YELLOW LIGHT AND AND RED AIRBAG LIGHT ON I ALREADY TOKE TO THE DEALER AND IT'S STILL THE SAME AND NOW THE ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING AND THE DEALER IN OUR AREA MOVE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND WHAT CAN I DO OR WHERE CAN I TAKE IT TO GET CHECK

RADIO CHANGED OUT 2X AFTER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, LIGHT FOR AIR BAG HAS BEEN ON FOR 3 YRS. BRAKES HAVE HAD TO GET WORKED ON 2X BEFORE IT HIT 50,000, CLIP ON DRIVERSIDE MAT BROKE AFTER 2 MONTHS OF HAVING CAR, DOOR PANELS ON BOTH FRONT AND BACK PASSANGER SIDE KEPT FALLING OFF AND KEPT TAKING CAR BACK TO FIX TILL THEY HAD NO REPLACEMENT PARTS THIS CAR SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD THERE ARE MANY SAFETY ISSUES BLIND SPOTS BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN, AND ALL THE LITTLE ISSUES FROM 2 BATTERIES REPLACED TO 2 SETS OF BRAKE JOBS TO ELECTRICALS TO 3 SETS OF TIRES, AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 80,OOO MILES OR LESS. I'VE HAD IT 9 YRS MOSTLY AS A SECOND CAR AND ALWAYS PROBLEMS INCLUDING PAINT. BUT THE SAFETY ISSUES AND THE CRAP CAR WE WERE SOLD KEPT IT CAUSE NOBODY IN THERE RIGHT MIND WANTS IT I AM 1ST YR OWNER THIS CAR SUCKS FFFFFFF IS WHAT IT SHOULD RATE THE CAR DEALERS WONT FIX IT THEY MAKE YOU COME BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN THAT THE PARTS HAVE TO BE FOUND BECAUSE THE PLANT GOT WASHED AWAY AND THE PARTS WITH IT. AND THAT COMPANY WONT LET THEM HOLD PARTS IN THERE SHOPS SO HURRY UP AND WAIT IT IS THE TRAINSHAF IS CRACKED BUT HEY ITS A SECOND CAR THAT COST TOO MUCH AND GIVES TOO LITTLE JUST FOUND THIS WEBSITE THANK TO CONSUMERREPORT MAGAZINE, THIS CAR WAS CRAP FROM DAY ONE WHEN IT ROLLED OF THE TRUCK IN 2008

AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FOR FOUR YEARS. AFTER RECIEVED RECALL NOTIFICATION VIA MAIL (1 YEAR AGO). SUBMITTED REQUEST TO FIX PASSENGER SEAT TO THE ONLY SUZUKI DEALERSHIP ON OHAU, HAWAII AND THEY STATED, "MY VEHICLE DIDN'T FALL UNDER THE RECALL" AND THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPAIR THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THEY COULDN'T PIN POINT THE PROBLEM AND REFUSED TO CONTACT SUZUKI TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVES. AS THE SECOND OWNER AND ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY, I CANNOT GO BACK TO THE STATE IN WHICH I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE DUE TO MILITARY ORDERS TO HAVE ANY OTHER SUZUKI DEALERSHIP FIX THIS. ADDITIONALLY, WITH THE SAFTEY INSPECTION LAWS IN HAWAII, I CANNOT REGISTER THIS CAR IN THIS STATE UNLESS PAY FOR THE ENTIRE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM OR WAIT TILL THE DEALERSHIP CHANGES THIER MIND ABOUT DOING THE RECALL ON MY CAR. THIS SITUATION I AM IN NOW IS UNSATISFACTORY AND PUTS MY FAMILY AND MY SELF AT RISK.

TRYING TO GET VEHICLE INSPECTED AND THE INSPECTION GUY INFORMED THAT THERE IS A PROBABLY LEAK IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM CAUSING LOUD NOISE. THE NOISE COULD BE HEARD IN THE CAR EVEN WHEN NOT HIT HEAVY ON THE GAS PEDAL. ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE IS REASONABLE OLD, FOR 50K MILES SUCH BREAKAGE IS EXHAUST IS NOT EXPECTED. THIS COULD BE A RESULT OF FAULTY EQUIPMENT OR MISFITTING. BASICALLY I NEED TO GET IT FIXED BEFORE IT CAN PASS STATE INSPECTION.

I WAS ON A MAIN ROAD GOING SOUTH A MAN RUN A STOP SIGN HIT ME ON DRIVERS SIDE DOOR MY NECK WAS BROKEN, AND BACK PERMENTLY MESSED UP , MY DAUGHTER ON PASSENGER SIDE IT JAM HER HIP'S, THE SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT COME OUT ONLY FRONT ONES DID AND THE ONE ON THE STEERING WHEEL SHATTERED AS IT CAME OUT AND THE SWITCH UNER THE STEERING WHEEL SHORTED OUT ALMOST CAUGHT ON FIRE, I HAVE PICTURES THIS NEEDS TOO BE INVESTIGATED I HAVE TRIED AND TRIED NO ONE WILL LISTEN I HOPE YOU DO
