SUZUKI Complaints

I WAS RIDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY TO WORK AND THE LET SIDE4 PASSANGER FLOOR BOARD FELL OFF. UPON INSPECTION, THE BRACKET THAT THE FLOOR BOARD WAS ATTACHED TO BROKE OFF THROUGHT THE HOLES DRILLED INTO THE BRACKET TO ATTACH THE FLOOR BOARD. *TR

2007 SUZUKI FORENZA ACCELERATES EXTREMELY SLOWLY WHEN HOT. CAR SHUDDERS AND WILL NOT GAIN RPMS. OFTEN WILL NOT ACCELERATE OUT OF STOP LIGHTS. ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES DURING SUCH EPISODES. ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES. WILL LOSE SPEED RANDOMLY WHILE IN TRAFFIC. AFTER TIME, IT WILL SUDDENLY REGAIN POWER, RESULTING IN AN ABRUPT LUNGE IF ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED. VEHICLE CODE SAID PROBLEM WAS WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. REPLACED CAT, BUT IT MADE NO IMPACT ON THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE. WAS ADVISED THAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE THE SHIFT RANGE SENSOR. HAVE NOT YET REPAIRED AS I SPENT ALL OF MY REPAIR MONEY ON THE CAT REPLACEMENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SUZUKI XL-7. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR SECOND ROW SEAT BELTS COULD NOT BE RETRACTED OR FASTENED DUE TO THE SEAT BELT MATERIAL BECOMING SHREDDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL AUTO-BODY DEALER TO HAVE THE SEAT BELTS AND RETRACTING SYSTEM REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

VEHICLE BROKE DOWN AND RUMBLED UPON TURNING... APPARENTLY SUZUKI KNOWS OF THE RECALL BUT IS NOT WILLING TO REPAIR OUTSIDE MARCH 2012. *TR

ENGINE FAILURE IN TRAFFIC DUE TO FAULTY STATOR/REGULATOR/RECTIFIER - BASED ON INTERNET FORUMS, THIS APPEARS TO BE SYSTEMIC FOR THIS MODEL OF MOTORCYCLE. POSES DANGER AS ENGINE FAILURE IN TRAFFIC COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE RECALLS FOR SEVERAL SUZUKI MOTORCYCLES THAT USE THE SAME STATOR/REGULATOR/RECTIFIER. THIS MODEL SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED TO PREVENT ANY FUTURE ACCIDENTS. *TR

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE HAD SMELL COMING FROM THE DASH LIKE MELTING WIRES. DASH HIGH/LOW BEAMS STOPPED WORKING, LUCKILY DAYTIME RUNNING WORKED BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO SEE WELL AT NIGHT PERIODICALLY THEY WILL COME BACK ON FOR A FEW THEN CUT BACK OFF. MOST OFTEN THEY DO NOT COME BACK ON AT ALL AND DOESN'T STAY ON LONG..AFRAID OF FIRE OR IF WORKING GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING AND WRECKING WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. WE PURCHASED THIS CAR LAST YEAR FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS FIXED UNDER THE RECALL OR 07 IN JAN 2008, CALLED DEALERSHIPS AND SUZUKI AND THEY ARE TELLING ME EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A NEW RECALL OUT FOR THE SAME THING.. FOR 2004-2006 FORENZAS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN THE DATES OF SEPT 2003 AND MARCH 2006 THAT MY CAR THAT WAS MANUFACTURED 11/2005 DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE RECALL? JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO SINCE ITS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. OR IF MAYBE SOME INFORMATION WAS CROSSED AND HOPEFULLY OURS CAN BE FIXED UNDER THE RECALL . *TR

GOING INTO REVERSE HEARD AND FELT A HARD LOUD CLUNK. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR BARE LY MOVED. KEPT SLIPPING IN TO NEUTRAL ON HIGHWAY TOP SHOP. HAD CHECKED TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR

HEADLIGHTS WON'T TURN OFF. WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY BLACK SMOKE BLEW IN MY FACE. ELECTRICAL WIRES WERE ON FIRE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND GET OUT WITHOUT GETTING HIT BY THE FAST CARS GOING BY. CALLED 911 THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME PUT OUT THE FIRE. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING I NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM. I PULLED OVER TO TEST MY LIGHTS AND NOTICED THAT WHEN I TURNED ON AND OFF THE HEADLIGHTS THAT THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN BRIGHTNESS. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED ON THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE LIGHTS DID NOT COME ON. I HAD BEEN DRIVING WITH THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ONLY. I DID A CHECK ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. I CALLED THE LOCAL SUZUKI DEALERSHIP AND AFTER GIVING THEM MY VIN THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO ACTIVE RECALL IN EFFECT FOR MY CAR. I THINK THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO MY CAR AS WELL. IN THE INTERIM I AM TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE HEADLAMPS FIXED BUT IT WILL COST ME MONEY TO DO SO. *TR
