SUZUKI Complaints

BIKE POPS OUT OF 2ND AS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY OTHER FOLKS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. SUZUKI WANT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM OR FIX. DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURED DEFAULT. *TR

THE ICON FOR THE AIRBAGS CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. I HAD MY USUAL SERVICE STATION INVESTIGATE IT, BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE CORRECT COMPUTER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND BROUGHT IT FIFTY MILES (ONE WAY) TO THE DEALER IN SYRACUSE, NY. AFTER CHARGING ME FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF OF DIAGNOSTIC TIME ($149.06) THEY IDENTIFIED IT NEEDED A REPAIR COSTING APPROXIMATELY $1200.00. I CONTACTED SUZUKI CORPORATE ON BREA, CALIF. THE MAN CALLED AND SAID HE WOULD INTERCEDE TO OBTAIN A "GOODWILL" REPAIR. THAT WAS DENIED BY REGIONAL SERVICE MANAGER. CAR HAS NO FUNCTIONING AIRBAGS AT THIS TIME. FURTHERMORE, IT CANNOT BE SOLD OR TRADED AS IS. *TR

VEHICLE REAR ENDED CAUSING A RIGHT HAND SPIN RESULTING IN A DRIVER SIDE DOWN VEHICLE LANDING POSITION IN A 4 FOOT DEEP DITCH AT ABOUT 25 MPH. DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND DRIVER RECEIVED SHOULDER INJURY AND HEAD HIT ON DRIVER SIDE PILLAR POST BETWEEN FRONT AND REAR LEFT HAND DOORS. UPDATED IVOQ 04/24/12 *TR

SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR FAILURE, AIRBAG CODE LIGHT IN DASH ALWAYS ON, CHEKED IN DEALER, AND THE NO PASSENGER INDICATOR LIGHT IN CONSOLE ALWAYS ON WITH A PASSENGER SIT ON THE SEAT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR AND IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THIS WILL COST + OR - 250.00. THE CAR IS STILL COVERED BY THE 100,000 MILE 10 YEAR WARRANTY AND HAS ONLY 38,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON SUZUKI RENOS AND FORENZAS. . . IS THIS A DEFECTIVE PART. IT IS DANGEROUS- *TR

AFTER 38,000 MILES AND LESS THAN 3 YEARS, MY SUZUKI NEEDS A NEW DRIVE BELT AND TENSIONER ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. MY WARRANTY JUST RAN OUT. ACCORDING TO RESEARCH I HAVE DONE ONLINE THIS BELT SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 60,000 MILES AND THE TENSIONER MUCH LONGER. THEY ARE QUOTING ME 450.00 TO REPAIR. RIDICULOUS! *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE AT NIGHT AND MY MOTORCYCLE LOST ALL POWER, THERE WAS NO WARNING OR ANYTHING JUST DIED. IF THERE WOULD OF BEEN ANOTHER VEHICLE BEHIND ME THEN I COULD OF EASILY BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I COULD SMELL SOMETHING HOT IN THE FRONT OF THE BIKE. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED HOME. I STARTED RESEARCHING IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS THE RECTIFIER / REGULATOR TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE BIKE, IT GETS HOT AND BURNS UP. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE 30 AMP FUSE TO BLOW FOR THE THE WIRING FOR THE BATTERY. I SEE THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS FOR THE 2008-2011 MODEL YEARS BUT I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THE 2006 AND 2007 YEARS AS WELL, BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THESE YEARS ALSO. *JS

TO WHOM THIS CONCERN I HAVE A 06 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA IM THE ORIGINAL OWNER THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON, THE DEALER AND COMPANY SAYS I HAVE TO SPEND 2000.00 TO FIX IT IF U GO ON LINE THE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES MY AUTISTIC SON SITS IN THE FRONT AND I BELIEVE THEY DEALER AND COMPANY KNEW ABOUT THIS FOR THE LONGEST TIME NOPT DOING NOTHING TO HELP US EXPECT EVERYONE TO SPEND MONEY WHICH I THINK I SHOULD BE A RECALL, CAN SOMETHING BE DONE TO HELP MY EMAIL IS[XXX] OR[XXX] ADDRESS IS [XXX] TY FOR YOUR TIME AND I HOPE TO GET A RESPONSE.

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG SENSOR UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT OF MY 2008 SUZUKI SX-4 CROSSOVER AWD. THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASH COMES ON AND STAYS ON, AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT LIGHT ON THE INFORMATION DISPLAY COMES ON AND STAYS ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHECKED THE CODE AND FOUND A CODE RECORDED FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT TRIGGERED THE CODE HOWEVER THEY SAID THEY RESET THE SYSTEM AND IT SHOULD BE FINE. THE SAME DAY THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SAME DEALER. THIS TIME THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE UNDER SEAT ASSEMBLY WHICH CONTAINS THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS BAD AND WOULD NEED REPLACED AT A COST OF $2500 JUST FOR THE PART. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND SEARCHED FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE COMPANY HAS NOT AGREED TO DO ANYTHING TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM FOR ME OR THE OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO NOT BEEN ABLE TO DISCERN FOR SURE WHETHER THE AIR BAGS WILL WORK AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE HAS THIS PROBLEM. IF NOT IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY PROBLEM AND SHOULD REQUIRE A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEMS OR REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. TO BE A . I HAVE BASICALLY BEEN TOLD THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY THAT I AM OUT OF LUCK, HOWEVER I FEEL THAT IF THIS IS A DEFECT THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF AND HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THAT THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE, ESPECIALLY IF THE PROBLEM IS POTENTIALLY ENDANGERING THE OPERATORS OF THESE VEHICLES. THE CAR WAS AT THE SUZUKI DEALER BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRATION AND I STATE THAT PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE DE PROBLEM, AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THE PROBLEM IS BACK AND NOW ALL THE AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELTS LIGHTS ARE ON ALL THE TIME. *TR

I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT THESE 2007 SUZUKIS. THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSORS IS GOING OUT ON MY VEHICLE ALSO. THE MECHANIC ALSO STATED THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD. NOW I JUST HAD 1600.00 WORTH OF WORK TO THIS VEHICLE, TIMING BELT CHANGED, NEW TIRES, OIL CHANGED ETC. SUZUKI NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND RECALL THESE LEMONS!! THE MECHANIC STATED THE THROTTLE BODY WAS MAJOR BUT SAID HE WASN'T SURE IF IT WAS COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IF SUZUKI CANNOT GUARANTEE THEIR CARS FOR LESS THAN 100'000 MILES THAN I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SUZUKI! THINK I'LL PAINT MY CANARY YELLOW!!!!!! *TR
