CONTINUOUS BLOW OUT OF FUEL PUMP GAS , I AM REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP GAS AND THE PROBLEM STILL, THE CAR JUST STOP IN ANY PLACE AND NOT STARTED AGAIN. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS WHILE WE ARE DRIVING THE CAR SHIFTS OUT OF GEAR, INTO ANOTHER GEAR, OR WILL NOT SHIFT AT ALL. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO WEST VALLEY SUZUKI TO HAVE DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS DONE, THEY HAVE REPLACED A TRANSMISSION SENSOR, BUT ONE WEEK AFTER THE REPAIR WAS DONE WE ARE STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT, BUT WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILY THAT THE CAR WOULD JUST SHIFT WITHOUT THE DRIVER MOVING THE SHIFTING STICK. WE HAVE JUST TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE SAYING THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, AND THEY CAN'T FIX ANYTHING. *TR

2007 SUZUKI M109R (VZR1800) LE AFTER SHIFTING INTO 2ND GEAR, AND ACCELERATING, THE MOTORCYCLE SEEMS TO BE MISSING THE GEAR OR SLIPPING THE GEAR. THIS CAUSES THE MOTORCYCLE TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND CAUSE THE RIDER TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE BIKES FOR HAVING FAULTY SHIFT FORKS. SUZUKI NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THIS ISSUE AS THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

THE S FRAME OF MY 2000 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA JLS STARTED VIBRATING AND I TOOK IT TO MIKE ALBERT LEASING AND WHEN THEY PUT IT UP ON THE LIFT THE S FRAME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND THE WHEEL WAS DETACHED FROM THE FRAME. THEY CALLED SUZUKI AND THEY SAID THAT THE CORROSION WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED THE END OF FEBRUARY 2010 SO THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT. I AM MORE CONCERNED ABOUT OTHER VEHICLES POSSIBLY HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND OTHER PEOPLE NOT BEING AWARE. THE MECHANICS SAID THAT THIS PART COULD NOT HAVE BEEN TREATED WITH ANY ANTI-CORROSION WHEN THE PART WAS FIRST PUT ON THE VEHICLE. IF I HAD DRIVEN THIS ON THE HIGHWAY I COULD HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN KILLED OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE. I THINK THIS IS A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THIS PART WAS AND IS COMPLETELY INTACT. I HAVE THE PART AND IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT IT RUSTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH. *TR

WE HAVE A 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA WITH 54,000 MILES ON IT. TODAY IT BEGAN TO DECELERATE QUICKLY ON A HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING US TO GET HIT. MY FATHER IS A MECHANIC AND PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER. THE CODES P0700 AND P0705 CAME UP INDICATING THAT THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR HAS GONE BAD. THE SENSOR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY AS IT IS ELECTRICAL. THIS IS DANGEROUS. WE HAVE A 9-MONTH-OLD DAUGHTER WHO COULD OF BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED HAD WE OF GOTTEN IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

1. IN THIS CAR MODEL I WAS READING AND IT HAVES THE SAME PROBLEM THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR WHICH I BOUGHT IT AND THEY REPLACE IT. 2. THE FAILURE OCCURS EVERY DAY , THE CONSEQUENCES ARE THAT WHEN I GIVE REVERSE IT MAKES A WEIRD NOISE AND WHEN I PUT IT TO DRIVE IT TAKES FOREVER TO SPEED UP. 3. I BOUGHT THE PART AT SUZUKI BECAUSE THAT WAS THE ONLY PLACE THAT THEY HAD IT, AND THEY REPLACE IT AND AFTER IT GOT REPLACED ANOTHER PROBLEM CAME UP, THE REVERSE AND DRIVE GEAR SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T CLICK SO IT WONT DO ANYTHING, AD I WAS READING ONLINE THAT A LOT OWNERS OF SUZUKI HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM CAN YOU GUYS HELP ME OUT ON THIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SUZUKI XL7. THE DRIVER WAS TRAVELING 35 MPH WHEN SHE HEARD AN UNUSUAL NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT WAS NOT ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AS THE STEERING FAILED AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. SHE SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HER ARMS, NECK, AND STOMACH.

THIS ISSUE DEALS WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR IN MY 2007 SUZUKI SX-4. THE SENSOR FIRST STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS ABOUT A YEAR AGO. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO BILL SIEDLE'S SUZUKI WHERE THEY RESET THE LIGHT. I WENT ONLINE AND BEGAN READING THRU THE BLOGS AND NOTICED THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT MANY SUZUKI SX-4S ARE HAVING. RECENTLY I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SOME WARRANTY WORK REGARDING CONCERNING THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I GOT MY CAR BACK THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN. I MENTIONED IT TO THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHO EXPLAINED TO ME THAT IT WAS A DEFECT WITH A SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OUT OF ITS BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE EXPENSES MYSELF. THE SENSOR BY ITSELF COST AN AMAZING $2400. I CONTACTED SUZUKI IN CALIFORNIA TO SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE. THEY HAD ME CONTACT SOMEONE AT BILL SIEDLE'S SUZUKI AND REQUEST A GOODWILL SERVICE. THEY DENIED THE GOOD WILL SERVICE. COINCIDENTLY, I DROVE A 2009 SUZUKI SX-4 WHILE VACATIONING IN PUERTO RICO AND IT ALSO HAPPENED TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. IT'S EVIDENT THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS SENSOR AND SUZUKI REFUSES TO CORRECT IT. I'VE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES RELATING TO MY SUZUKI RANGING FROM COSMETICS TO MECHANICAL ISSUES, EVEN THE SENSORS IN THE TIRES WHICH MONITOR TIRE PRESSURE ARE BROKEN AND NOW MY TPMS LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY LIT ON MY DASHBOARD. I DO HAVE 90,000 MILES ON MY CAR BUT I KEEP IT IN PRISTINE CONDITION AND ANY OF THE MECHANICS WHO HAVE WORKED ON THE CAR CAN TESTIFY TO THIS. HOWEVER, MY PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT DON'T APPEAR UNIQUE BASED ON THE ENDLESS FORUMS THAT I'VE READ AND 90,000 FREEWAY MILES DON'T WEAR OUT AN AIRBAG SENSOR IN 3 YEARS. ADDITIONALLY, IT DEALS WITH THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THAT AIRBAG WITH REACT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. WHATEVER THE ISSUE IS, IT ALSO GIVES AN INDICATION THAT THE PASSENGER SEATBELT IS NOT ON. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOU LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. *TR
