SUZUKI Complaints

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FROM AMERICAN SUZUKI CORPORATION. MOTOR CYCLE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, IT HAS BEEN THERE A MONTH. I HAVE CHECKED EVERY WEEK. I AM TOLD THEY HAVE GOTTEN NO RESPONSE ABOUT A REPLACEMENT PART. CAN YOU HELP RESOLVE THIS MATTER IN A TIMELY FASHION? COMPONENT THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED: RECTIFIER ASSEMBLIES INSTALLED ON THE AFFECTED MODELS MAY HAVE A CONDITION WHICH CAN CAUSE THE INTERNAL CIRCUIT BOARD TO FAIL IN SERVICE DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT.

SUZUKI HAS ISSUED A WARNING NOT TO DRIVE 2009 SUZUKI BURGMAN 400 MOTOR SCOOTERS WITHOUT HAVING RECALL WORK DONE IN THE FORM OF RECTIFIER ASSEMBLY. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE FOR DEALERSHIPS TO PERFORM THE NECESSARY MAINTENANCE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AND RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE JUST AFTER PURCHASE. THE SELLING DEALERSHIP CANNOT GET THE NECESSARY PART TO CONDUCT THE RECALL WORK. *TR

PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. BRAKES WOULD SHUDDER, MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND VIBRATED. HAD TO PUMP THEM TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. COLEMAN DEALERSHIP (LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ 08648) CLAIMED IT WAS DUE TO WARPED ROTORS. REPLACED ROTORS BRAKE PADS AND FLUSHED BRAKE SYSTEM. PROBLEM RECURRED IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP. RETURNED CAR TO DEALERSHIP ON 6/08/2010. DEALERSHIP STATED THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A BROKEN SENSOR. DEALERSHIP REPLACED SENSOR UNDER WARRANTY, BUT PROBLEM WITH SENSOR RECURRED AFTER 10 MONTHS AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DO NOT WORK. WAS TOLD THE BRAKE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A BROKEN SENSOR AGAIN. CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ALSO, AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON CONTINUOUSLY (TOLD THIS WOULD NOT AFFECT AIR BAG PERFORMANCE) BUT THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 SUZUKI VZ 1500 MOTORCYCLE. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 11V108000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: ALTERNATOR/ GENERATOR/ REGULATOR). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS NEEDED FOR REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

MY SPEEDOMETER READS A DIFFERENT SPEED SOME TIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING IT WILL SAY 110 MILES AN HOUR WHEN I'M DRIVING ONLY 30 MILES PER HOUR. SOME TIMES IT WILL STICK ON AT 55 MILES PER HOUR. SOME TIMES IT JUST WON'T READ AT ALL WHILE I'M DRIVING IT WILL BE STUCK IN 0 MILES PER HOUR.

MY 08 FORENZA HESITATES DURING COLD START UP. NO CODES SHOW. IT HAS 58000 MILES (TIMING BELT DUE IN A FEW THOUSAND), 5 SPEED STICK , DRIVEN 90 MILES ONE WAY EVERY 3 THIRD DAY. IT DID DIE ON THE HIGHWAY BACK IN JANUARY '11 , CEL CAME ON, WENT INTO LIMP MODE,I DIDN'T SHUT DOWN FOR FEAR OF COMPLETELY DYING IT WAS TOWED TO DEALER. PULLED CODES P2106, P2110, AND P0835 FROM COMPUTER. DEALER FOUND NOTHING WRONG OTHER THAN CODES. SINCE THEN HESITATION HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO IDLE NORMALLY ALL THAT WELL EVEN AFTER DRIVING FOR SEVERAL HOURS (SEEMS LIKE TPS IS STICKING RUNS AROUND 2000 FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS AFTER COMING TO A STOP). *TR

MY CAR SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING IT STARTED ALL OF A SUDDEN READING 120 MILES AN HOUR WHEN I WAS DRIVING 30 MILES PER HOUR ALSO MY SPEEDOMETER READS 120 MILES PER HOUR WHEN CAR IS STOPPED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SUZUKI RENO. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V452000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED, THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS STOPPED FUNCTIONING. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ALSO FAILED. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE RECALL REPAIRS HAD BEEN PERFORMED AND THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF DIAGNOSTICS AND ANY FURTHER REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,500. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AIR CONDITIONER WILL NOT MAINTAIN FORCED AIR AFTER TWO HOURS OF USE ON WARM OR HOT DAYS. MUST TURN OFF CONDITIONED AIR FOR ABOUT AN HOUR TO LET THE SYSTEM REST. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING WHILE TRAVELING LONG DISTANCES WITH CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEATS. *TR

RANGE SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE. THIS IS A KNOWN LATENT FAILURE THAT IS NOT COVERED AFTER 36,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE PART, ALTHOUGH PART OF THE MAIN ENGINE, IS A KNOWN FAILURE AND THAT THE REPLACEMENT WAS A $55 PART. THE MAIN DEALERSHIP IN HUNTSVILLE HAS REPLACED OVER 1000 RANGE SENSORS WHEN MY CAR WAS REPAIRED IN OCTOBER. *TR
