SUZUKI Complaints

SUDDEN ON/OFF THROTTLE CAN CAUSE SUDDEN DECELERATION AND ACCELERATION, MAKING THE VEHICLE VERY VERY UNSTABLE LEADING TO LOSS OF CONTROL. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR AT 4,000-6,000 RPM AND SEEMS EVEN WORSE AT HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURES. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT!!! *TR

MY 2006 SUZUKI GSXR HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN GIVING THROTTLE AFTER A SLOW TURN THE BIKE SEEMS TO ALMOST LOSE ALL ENGINE POWER THEN KICKS BACK IN WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TURNS CAUSING YOU TO FALL. *TR

THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT INVOLVES THROTTLE RESPONSE WITH THIS MOTORCYCLE. WHILE RIDING, THE THROTTLE WILL GO TO FULL GAS OR COMPLETELY CUT OFF WITH THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF THROTTLE CHANGE. IT'S TO THE POINT WERE I FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO RIDE WITH A "NEUTRAL" THROTTLE, BECAUSE THE SMALLEST DIFFERENCE CAUSES A MAJOR IMPACT. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES. THEY DON'T SEEM TO KNOW WHY THIS KEEPS HAPPENING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SUZUKI VERONA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS FIRST PURCHASED, IT PULLED TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BECAUSE BOTH THE CHECK ENGINE AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR, BUT THE FAILURE STILL OCCURRED. WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT START AND THE BATTERY WAS NEARLY DRAINED. IN MARCH OF 2008, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 250.

ABRUPT ON/OFF THROTTLE CAN CAUSE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED RAPID DECELERATION AND ACCELERATION, DESTABILIZE THE VEHICLE POTENTIALLY LEADING TO LOSS OF CONTROL AND A CRASH. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR AT LOWER ENGINE RPM'S (4,000-6,000 RPM) AND SEEMS MOST PREVALENT AT HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURES (205+ DEGREES) AND ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON AND STARTED WHILE AT HIGHER TEMPERATURES. *TR

AT SLOW SPEEDS AND LOW RPM'S SOMETIMES A SUDDEN ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION OCCURS WITH HARDLY A CHANGE IN THE THROTTLE POSITION. *TR

I WENT ON A TRIP TO EL PASO,TEXAS WITH MY FAMILY AND ON MY WAY BACK I HAD THE WORST TROUBLE WITH MY CAR. MY CAR STARTED JERKING A BIT. I THOUGH NOTHING OF IT AND KEPT GOING JUST HOPING TO GET HOME WITH MY KIDS. ON MY WAY BACK HOME I STOPPED BY A MECHANIC SHOP AND THEY INFORMED IT WAS THE SENSORS IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT WERE NO GOOD. BUT IT IS A NEWER CAR SO I THOUGH THEY MUST BE WRONG. I DID MAKE IT SAFELY TO MY HOME. IT STOPPED DOING THE JERKING. THEN A FEW DAYS LATER IT STARTED BACK UP. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING SINCE MARCH 4,2008. I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY ME BUT I HAVE FOUND OUT BY AUTOZONE THAT A FEW PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THEIR CAR FRO THE SAME ISSUE. SO I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD B REPAIRED BECAUSE I DID NOT DO ANYTHING. I WAS TAKEN MY CHILDREN 2 DAYS AGO TO THE DOCTOR AND WHAT SEEMED LIKE A NORMAL TRIP BECAME A NIGHTMARE. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO(PUT YOURSELF IN MY PLACE AT THE 5:00 P.M. TRAFFIC) THE ENGINE JUST REVED VERY HIGH AND I PUT MY FOOT DOWN ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THEN IT WENT FORWARD WITH A JERKING MOTION FORWARD. I WAS SO SCARED AND STILL AM THAT I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO TRY TO STALL ON ME AND NOT SHIFT GEARS. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR NOT EVEN 7 MONTHS AGO FROM THE DEALERSHIP. IT IS OVER THE 36,000 MILES AND I DO EXPECT FOR THIS ISSUE TO GET RESOLVED AND FOR YOU AS A COMPANY FIX THE ISSUE. I DID RESEARCH AND I DO SEE ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS MODEL OF CAR. ARE YOU EXPECTING A MAJOR ACCIDENT FOR YOU TO TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE?? I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN! WOULD YOU? I DO NOT WANT TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT IN ORDER FRO YOU TO TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CARS KEEPS JERKING AND YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR WHOLE FOOT TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER FRO IT TO SHIFT I NEED RESULTS!!!! *TR

I PURCHASED A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA BRAND NEW. THE ENGINE IS NO GOOD. FIRST THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WITHOUT WARNING. I CALLED AND INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY NOTED THAT THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED AND THEY ASSURED ME IT SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM FIXING THE CAR SINCE IS WAS STILL PROTECTED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. THEY ASKED ME TO BRING IN ALL RECEIPTS PROVING THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED WHICH I COMPLIED WITH. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK THEY CALLED ME BACK AND TOLD ME IT APPEARED THE OIL HAD NOT BEEN CHANGED AND STATED THEY WERE NOT GOING TO REPAIR MY CAR. I HAD ALSO EXPLAINED THAT I WOULD BE LEAVING FOR VACATION AND I WOULD BE NEEDING THE LOANER CAR. AFTER THEY DETERMINED THEY WERE NOT GOING TO HELP, THEY LEFT ME STRANDED AT THE AIRPORT WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN WITH NO VEHICLE. NOW THEY HAVE STOP MAKING THE CAR AFTER 3YEARS. SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL OF THESE CONSUMER LOSSES. I NOW HAVE 10,000 PLUS WORTH OF JUNK THAT NOBODY WANTS. IT IS NOT FAIR AND I URGE ANYONE PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT SUZUKI IN ANY WAY. *TR

2007 GSXR 600. THIS IS THE "HERKY JERKY THROTTLE" PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS TO A LOT OF THESE BIKES. BETWEEN 0-10% THROTTLE THE BIKE WILL SUDDENLY CUT POWER AND THEN REENGAGE POWER CAUSING THE BIKE TO JERK. THIS CAN BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WHEN TAKING A CORNER AT A HIGH LEAN ANGLE WHERE LOW AMOUNTS OF THROTTLE ARE USED. THIS COULD EASILY RESULT IN A CRASH... *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SUZUKI GSX-1300RK8. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KICKSTAND WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD NOT SUPPORT THE VEHICLE. HE STOPPED RIDING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE WITH THE KICKSTAND AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN FIRST GEAR. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 4.
