SUZUKI Complaints

2007 SUZUKI SX4- PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT ON, TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT TRACK/BOTTOM ASSEMBLY WOULD NEED REPLACING COSTING APPROXIMATELY $1500.00. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. SUZUKI SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THEIR CARS AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A SUZUKI XL7 2007 KEEP MAKING NOISE FROM THE POWER STEERING LIKE 2 PLASTIC SQUCE TO EACHOTHER. I CHECK MY POWER STEERING FLUID STILL LOOKING FULL AND I DON'T KNOW WHY KEEP MAKING NOISE FROM THE POWER STEERING. I DON'T' KNOW ITS GOING TO SAFE TO DRIVE WHILE MAKING NOISE. CAN SOME ONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE I HATE IT. I AM GOING TO TRADE FOR NEW CAR AND NOT SUZUKI CAR NO MORE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY SUZUKI FORENZA LAST FRIDAY WHEN IT WENT FROM "DRIVE" TO BASICALLY NEUTRAL. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND BECAUSE MY CAR STALLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE AND EACH TIME I'VE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH NOT TO BE HIT. THIS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS ISSUE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS MID DRIVE. APPARENTLY IT'S MY TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR AND IT HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR WITHOUT GOING VERY SLOWLY AND BEING FEARFUL. IT WILL STILL DO IT EACH TIME I ACCELERATE SO I HAVE TO BE MINDFUL TO DRIVE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD SO I CAN EASILY PULL INTO A SIDE ROAD OR DRIVEWAY. I'M HOPING TO GET IT FIXED ASAP HOWEVER IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

2007 SUZUKI FORENZA SEDAN. BOUGHT THE CAR TWO DAYS AGO. TODAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND SHIFTING INTO REVERSE CAUSED A LOUD CLUNK FOLLOWED BY THE DIGITAL GEAR INDICATOR BEING SCRAMBLED RATHER THAN DISPLAYING R. WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE, IT WON'T SHIFT OUT OF 3RD GEAR, SO MUCH LESS PICKUP THAN NORMAL (WHICH COULD LEAD TO GETTING REAR ENDED) AND CAN'T GO OVER ~55 MPH. THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR IS THE PROBLEM. THE CORRESPONDING ERROR CODES PULLED WERE PO700 AND PO705. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE, IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A VERY, VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 MODEL. *TR

2004 SUZUKI XL7 AIRBAG SYSTEM DISABLED DUE TO MALFUNCTION IN SENSOR IN PASSENGER SEAT. SUZUKI REFUSED TO HELP AND TOOK 20 DAYS TO REPLY. *TR

REAR ROTOR ON SUZUKI C90 07 MODEL, WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER TWICE IN THE FIRST YEAR.WITH UNDER 16000 MILES AT THE TIME IT WORKED IT'S WAY LOOSE AGAIN AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO PASS IT FOR INSPECTION AND SUZUKI REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. SINCE THAT TIME HAVE PUT A LOT MORE MILES ON THE BIKE AND CANNOT TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION. NOW AFTER ABOUT 65,000 MILES ON THE BIKE, THE RIVETS FINALLY GAVE OUT ON A TRIP IN THE MOUNTAINS SOUTH OF PAGOSA SPRINGS, CO. THEN BEFORE I COULD GET A REPLACEMENT HAD A MINOR WRECK MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN SOMEONE RAN OUT IN FRONT OF ME. THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE REAR ROTORS RIVETS COMING LOOSE AND FAILING. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL. *TR
