SUZUKI Complaints

THE VITARA HAS RECALLS FOR BOTH MY ISSUES BUT ONLY UNTIL 2011 MINE IS 2013 AND HAS THE SAME ISSUES AS PREVIOUS MODELS DID. I MOVED FROM HOT WEATHER STATE TO COLD WEATHER AND WHEN WINTER ARRIVED, THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON AND NOW THE CAR TAKES VERY LONG TO START. APPARENTLY PREVIOUS MODELS HAD AIRBAG SENSORS ISSUES IN COLD WEATHER AND THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM AS WELL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DID NOT DO RECALLS FOR MY MODEL AS WELL SINCE THESE ISSUES STARTED AS SOON AS WINTER ARRIVED. THESE ARE VERY SERIOUS ISSUES FOR A VEHICLE TO HAVE.

THIS VEHICLE HAS MULTUPLE PROBLEMS INCLUDING STRONGEST ODOR OF FUEL, STABILITY CONTROL AND DELIVERING FUEL INTO THE SYSTEM AS GAS PADDLE PRESSED FOR MOVING/SPEED. THANK YOU

TROUBLE CODE B1312 OCM SENSOR MAT FAULT. AIR BAG AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT INDICATOR LIGHT ARE ON ALL THE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SUZUKI GSX-R600. WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND ATTEMPTING TO SWITCH TO NEUTRAL, THE MOTORCYCLE STALLED AND DID NOT RESTART. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, THE MOTORCYCLE RESTARTED AND UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED ON AND OFF. THE MOTORCYCLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. AFTERWARDS, THE MOTORCYCLE WOULD NOT START. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE REGULATOR RECTIFIER WAS REPLACED IN 2016 BY THE DEALER (HOUSE OF MOTORCYCLES IN VISTA, CALIFORNIA). THE MOTORCYCLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

THE VEHICLE IS UNDER A RECALL CAMPAIGN (XA-XC) FOR DRL MODULE/IGNITION SWITCH REPLACEMENT. THE OWNER IS PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP FOR THE REPAIRS TO BE PERFORMED (HE IS PROHIBITED BY HIS PHYSICIAN TO DRIVE SUCH LONG DISTANCES). SUZUKI WILL NOT ALLOW ANY OTHER FACILITY, NO MATTER HOW WELL QUALIFIED, TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS. SUZUKI OFFERS NO SOLUTION - LIKE OFFERING TO TOW THE VEHICLE - ASIDE FROM AN OFFER TO REIMBURSE FOR FUEL. I AM A NEIGHBOR AND CAN ATTEST TO THE OWNER'S PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS (HE HAD A STROKE). HE IS ALSO ELDERLY AND FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY - SO HIS COMPREHENSION OF THE ISSUE IS LIMITED. HE'S WORRIED THE CAR ISN'T RELIABLE ENOUGH FOR HIS DAILY TRIPS TO HIS DOCTOR AND VOICED WORRY ABOUT HIS OPTIONS TO GET IT FIXED. IT IS MY HOPE THE INTERVENTION OF SOMEONE FROM THE NHTSA MIGHT SWAY SUZUKI TO OFFER A VARIANCE FROM THEIR POLICY - SO THEY WOULD OFFER TO TRANSPORT THE VEHICLE TO AND FROM THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP FOR THE REPAIRS TO BE COMPLETED (SINCE I WAS TOLD A DEALER MUST BE THE ONES PERFORMING THE REPAIR).

I OWN A 2008 SUZUKI GSXR 600. I HAVE DONE A FEW RECALLS ON THIS BIKE INCLUDING THE RECTIFIER AND MASTER CYLINDER. HOWEVER, THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE STATOR WHICH IS NOT UNDER RECALL YET. I HAVE REPLACED THIS PART AT LEAST TWICE, AND NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE IT AGAIN AS IT JUST WENT OUT. THIS PART IS NOT UNDER RECALL, BUT I HAVE HEARD ABOUT, AND READ ABOUT MANY ISSUES WITH THIS SAME PART. IT CAUSES UNSAFE DRIVING AS IT CAUSES THE MOTORCYCLE TO MALFUNCTION BY BASICALLY SHUTTING OFF AND TURNING ON RAPIDLY MAKING THE BIKE VERY JUMPY AND UNPREDICTABLE. THIS COULD VERY EASILY CAUSE A CRASH. DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET, THE BIKE SHUT OFF ON ME AT A RED LIGHT AND I HAD TO PUSH IT OUT OF TRAFFIC. THE BIKE WOULD NOT START RIGHT AWAY. NOT POSITIVE OF THE ISSUE, I GOT THE MOTORCYCLE STARTED AND I TRIED RIDING HOME AND IT WAS VERY JUMPY AND ALMOST FULLY SHUT OFF A FEW TIMES. I HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY GIVE THE BIKE THROTTLE OTHERWISE IT WOULD DIE. UPON ARRIVING AT MY HOUSE I STOPPED THE BIKE AND IT DIED INSTANTLY. THE BIKE TACHOMETER WOULD NOT EVEN TURN ON AFTER THAT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS WELL AS A POSSIBLE FAULTY PART THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE VIDEO TO ILLUSTRATE WHAT HAPPENED.

I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH THE RANGE SENSOR ON MY 2008 SUZUKI RENO. I REPLACED IT LAST YEAR WITH A NEW ONE AND FAILED JULY 2016. I REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE. NOW ITS LATE NOVEMBER AND AGAIN PROBLEMS WITH THE RANGE SENSOR AGAIN!!!!!!!!! AFTER RELACING IT WITH A NEW ONE IN JULY 2017 THAT'S 4 MONTHS AFTER AND I NEED TO REPLACE AGAIN??? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE LOOKED THIS UP AND THERE ARE ALOT OF ISSUES WITH RANGE SENSOR ON THE RENO'S. I'M UNEMPLOYED AND NOT GETTING ANY BENEFITS CAN'T BE RELPACING THIS PART OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!!! THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS!!!!!!!!!! THIS HAPPENS WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON AS I GO INTO DRIVE MODE I FEEL A JOLT/TUG AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I COULD BE DRIVING THEN I FEEL A TUG AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT UP. ALSO WHEN I TRY TO SPEED UP IT FEELS SLUGGISH IT DOES NOT PICK UP LIKE IT NORMALLY DOES. JUST YESTERDAY I WAS BRAKING AS I CAME OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AND I FELT THAT TUG AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPS UP AND MY STOPPED!!!! WTH IF I HAD A CAR IN BACK OF ME THERE COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT!!!!!!!! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?? WHEN I REPLACE THE RANGE SENSOR THE TEETH ON THE SENSOR ARE ALL SCUFFED!!! THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF. NORMALLY I TURN MY CAR OFF WAIT A WHILE START IT BACK UP AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IF OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SUZUKI VERONA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V363000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. FREEDOM POWERSPORTS (1205 N FUTRALL DR, FAYETTEVILLE, AR) WAS CONTACTED; HOWEVER, THE REMEDY WAS NOT PERFORMED DUE TO THE NEAREST DEALER BEING 300 MILES AWAY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE CAR LOST POWER SUDDENLY AFTER STOPPING FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ENGINE NEVER STOPPED RUNNING BUT WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN ABOUT 20MPH. TRANSMISSION UPSHIFTED AND DOWN SHIFTED. ORB ERROR CODES WHERE P2110, P2106, AND P161B. NO OTHER CODES WHERE STORED. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN 6 MONTHS. AFTER RESTARTING ENGINE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON AND THE CAR RAN NORMALLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 SUZUKI SX4. AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO ANY OTHER GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD ALREADY BEEN SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V118000 (POWER TRAIN). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.
