I HAVE BEEN GETTING SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. THEN SHORTLY AFTER MY BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. WELL THE NEXT WEEKEND THE LIGHT CAME ON AND NOW WHEN I SWITCH GEARS I GET A LOUD THUMP AND THE CAR JUMPS REALLY HARD. I WENT TO ADVANCED AUTO PARTS WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON THEY WERE ABLE TO RETRIEVE CODES AND VERIFY THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR A CIRCUIT WHILE IN PARK/REVERSE/NUETRAL AND DRIVE. AND THEY ALSO RETRIEVED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SENSOR. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW AND I WILL NOT DRIVE IT TILL IT GETS FIXED. I HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FOR THE LONGEST TIME AND I AM SCARED THIS CAR WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT IS A VERY UNSAFE CAR AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING DUE TO MANY COMPLAINTS. YOU NEED TO DO A RECALL ON THIS CAR BEFORE SOMEONE GETS BADLY INJURED OR KILLED. *KB

THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. *KB

I OWN A 2007 SUZUKI GSX-R600. THE MOTORCYCLE STALLED WHILE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 65 MPH WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAD THE MOTORCYCLE TOWED HOME.

BOTH HEADLIGHTS FAIL TO TURN ON UPON STARTING THE CAR. IN ADDITION, THE AIRBAG WARRING LIGHT ALL OF A SUDDEN CAME ON AND STAYS ON. *TR

TWO YEARS AND 29K MILES AFTER I DROVE MY BRAND FORENZA OFF THE LOT I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE BEGINNING OF A ROAD TRIP WHEN MY SENSOR FIRST WENT OUT. I HAD TO TURN AROUND, TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AN GET IT REPLACE. NOW I AM AT ALMOST 90K RUNNING INTO THE SAME ISSUE AND WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE SENSOR AGAIN AT A COST OF ABOU $250. QUITE A FEW HIGHWAY MILES, NOT ALOT OF CITY MILES NOT CONFIDENT IN MAKING SUZUKI A NEW CAR CHOICE AGAIN. *TR

YES MY CARS GEARS WHEN I DRIVE WOULD GO IN DIFFERENT GEARS AND I ALMOST GOT HIT. I USE THIS CAR FOR TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND I LOVE MY KIDS VERY MUCH. I CONTACTED THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY ACTED LIKE THEY DID NOT CARE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND I TOLD THEM THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED.THESE CARS ARE DANGEROUS AND A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE SOLD OR BE ALLOWED ON THE ROAD. AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES THEN SUZUKI AND ANYONE ELSE WHO ALLOWS SUZUKI TO SELL THESE CARS SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO SOMEONE. I WILL RETALIATE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MY CHILDREN. I AND ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU EITHER STOP THEM FROM SELLING THESE CARS OR HAVE THEM RECALLED. OR MAKE THEM GO TO THE JUNK YARD. THANK YOU *TR

TOLD SUZUKI THAT BRAKES WHERE NO GOOD THEY SAID THAT THEY SEEMED FINE A WEEK BEFORE. THE CAR ALSO WOULD SET THE CRUISE CONTROL TO ENGAGE AT 0MPH AND GO TO 40RPM WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF BRAKE. THE DEALER SAW NO PROBLEM. I WAS GOING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AT 1MILE PER HOUR WHEN THE BRAKES ENTIRELY FAILED. *TR
