SUZUKI Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY BURNED OUT AND STOPPED ILLUMINATING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVERY THREE MONTHS FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THIS WAS A COMMON FAILURE AND THAT THE CHEAPEST REPLACEMENT BULBS AVAILABLE SHOULD BE PURCHASED DURING REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 78,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, SHE ACTIVATED THE HEADLIGHTS AND NOTICED A FIRE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THE HEADLIGHTS THEN BECAME INOPERATIVE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I LOSE ALL POWER IN MOVEMENT. IF I STOP AND START DRIVING AGAIN I HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE CAR MOVING AGAIN, IT TAKES OFF VERY SLOWLY AND I CANNOT GET THE CAR TO GO OVER 25 MILES PER HR. WHEN I TAKE IT IN TO A MECHANIC THEY RUN TESTS BUT SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM FOUND. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I HAVE READ ON THE WEB OF MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I FILL THAT THIS IS UNSAFE AND WOULD LIKE THIS INVESTIGATED IF POSSIBLE. *TT
