SUZUKI Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI GSX-R600. ON JUNE 18, 2007, THE CONTACT'S KEY FAILED TO TURN IN THE IGNITION. ON JUNE 20, 2007, THE DEALER RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAS YET TO HEAR BACK FROM THE DEALER BUT WILL CALL THEM ON JUNE 27, 2007. THE VIN, ENGINE SIZE, AND POWERTRAIN WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 800.

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MINE AND MANY OTHER 2006 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA MODELS WHERE THE REAR ALIGNMENT IS WAY OUT OF SPECIFICATION CAUSING THE REAR TIRES TO GO BALD WITHIN 10,000 MILES. SUZUKI IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING, THEY HAVE ALREADY CORRECTED THE ALIGNMENT, HOWEVER THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE BAD TIRES. THE TIRES ONLY HAVE TREAD LEFT ON THE INSIDE EDGES INDICATING A SCRUBBING SITUATION. I FEEL THAT THE TIRES ARE VERY UNSAFE, AND I NOW CANNOT DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT IS JUST OVER A YEAR OLD.

I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN THE FIRST MONTH I HAD THE CAR,ALSO THE CAR STALLS OUT, I HAD THE CAR SINCE OCT.I GOT TO REPLACE THE ROTORS THERE MAKING A FUNNY NOISE.*AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SUZUKI AN400. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE WILL JERK AND THEN SHUT OFF. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE, BUT NOT RESOLVE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CAN BE SWITCHED BETWEEN AUTOMATIC AND MANUAL. THE # OF CYLINDERS WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 5,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,800.

I HAVE A 2005 SUZUKI FORENZA. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED. I HAVE NO DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AND I HAVE NO LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND A SUZUKI FORUM AND IN THE FORUM MANY PEOPLE HAVE INDICATED THAT THIS HEADLIGHT PROBLEM IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. I DO FIND A COMPLAINT HERE WHERE A SINGLE MOM HAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND SUZUKI REFUSES TO FIX IT. I CAN'T FIND ANY RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. ISN'T THE MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBLE FOR MANUFACTURER DEFECTS? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?

SINCE THE MOTORCYCLE WAS NEW IT LEAKED GAS FROM THE BREATHER TUBE WHEN IT SAT OUTSIDE IN THE WARM WEATHER FOR AT LEAST 3 HOURS, LEAVING A SMALL PUDDLE OF GASOLINE UNDER THE MOTORCYCLE. I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. *AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA XL-7. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP IS BURNING INSIDE THE GAS TANK, WHICH CAUSES NO CONNECTION TO THE BATTERY OF THE VEHICLE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 SUZUKI XL-7. THE CONTACT TOOK HER VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR HER ENGINE TO BE SERVICED. UPON LEAVING THE DEALER, SHE NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED.

ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL, THE ILLUMINATED LIGHT SIGNIFIES THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR IS DISCONNECTED, PREVENTING THE AIR BAG FROM DEPLOYING.
