SUZUKI Complaints

A CRACK HAS FORMED IN THE AREA WHERE THE LIQUID/VAPOR SEPARATOR BRACKET IS WELDED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. I INVESTIGATED WITH A BOROSCOPE--IMAGE ATTACHED. THIS IS ALLOWING FUEL LEAKAGE TO OCCUR THROUGH THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE 2003-2006 RECALL (ATTACHED PDF). AFTER COMMUNICATING WITH THE SUZUKI DEALERSHIP, THE DISTRICT MANAGER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE GAS LEAKAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 SUZUKI EQUATOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000. *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BRUISING TO THE RIGHT ARM THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION DUE TO THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE MILEAGE WAS 113,164.

TIMING CHAIN FAILURE AT 58,000 MILES - DID INTERNAL DAMAGE TO ENGINE. NEEDS NEW ENGINE. WAS FINE ONE MINUTE THEN WENT TO START IT AND IT WOULD NOT START.

MY CAR KEEPS OVER HEATING AND IT BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NOW I GOT EXHAUSE COMING OUTTA THE COOLANT TANK.NOW THE CAR HEADERS ARE BLOWN ARE FRIED DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE VEHICAL MAKING I WAS IN MOTION DURING THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT WHEN THE CAR STARTED ACTN UP....

CAR WAS RUNNING FINE. I WAS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND IN 3 / 6 LANE TRAFFIC 45 MPH IN TOWN WHEN A LOUD KNOCK STARTED KNOCKING UNDER THE HOOD. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE ROAD AS SOON AS I FOUND A PLACE TO PULL OFF OTHERWISE COULD HAVE STALLED CAUSING A MAJOR CRASH OF VEHICLES. I CALLED AAA TO HAVE IT TOWED. THE REPAIR SHOP IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD SAID I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. CAR HAS 72,072 MILES ON IT. THE 7 YEAR WARRANTY RAN OUT JULY 24, 2016. THIS HAPPENED LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER WARRANTY AND 9 MONTHS AFTER LAST CAR PAYMENT. IT HASN'T REACHED 100,000 YET FOR THE DRIVE TRAIN. PRETTY SAD.

I FILED A COMPLAINT LAST WEEK NUMBER 10949103 BUT DUE TO THE NHTSA RECALL WEBSITE PROBLEMS WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON MY PROBLEM. SO I WILL BE TAKING IT IN FOR THE 3 RECALLS ON THIS CAR.

I OWN A 2004 SUZUKI FORENZA AND THIS CAR IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM. IT OVER HEATS EVERYONE I DRIVE IT WHICH IS DAILY. IT STARTS ONLY WHEN THE MOTOR IS SOMEWHAT COOL. THIS CAT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED MANY TIMES. LIKE AT THE MOMENT THE CAR HAS OVER HEATED AND I'M PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF HWY 26 HEADING TO PORTLAND. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAT TO MY MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES AND UPON ITS RETURN WITHIN DAYS THE CAR IS DOING THE SAME THING. THE STEERING IS A MESS. THE CAR IS ALL OVER THE ROAD I'VE TAKEN IT TO LESSCHWAB 4 TIMES GOTTEN TWO ALIGNMENTS WITHIN A 2 MONTH PERIOD AND STILL CAR DOESN'T DRIVE RIGHT. I'VE REPLACED THE HEAD GASKET,,STARTER,BATTERY,TIRES, THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. THIS IS NOT AD DEPENDABLE CAR. I'M 60 MILES FROM HOME AND WONDERING HOW I'M GONNA GET BACK HOME. THANK YOU SUZUKI

MY 2008 XL7 HAS HAD MANY PROBLEMS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. THE SUNROOF HAS KEPT LEAKING INTO THE CABIN LIGHTS AND INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE CEILING REQUIRING 2 VISIT TO A BODY SHOP TO FIX THE SEAL. MY TRANSMISSION CONTROL REQUIRED REPLACING DUE TO MY CAR JERKING BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW KEEPS COMING OFF THE TRACK. MY BACK DOORS NO LONGER UNLOCK EXCEPT FROM THE INSIDE. MY RIGHT PASSENGER WINDOW NO LONGER ROLLS DOWN AT ALL. NOW MY PAINT IS PEELING ABOVE BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS. THE PAINT LOOKED BUMPY AND PEELED OFF AFTER A RECENT STORM. UNDERNEATH IS A WHITE POWDER COATING AND IT'S RUSTED UNDERNEATH AS WELL.

WHEN CAR WAS INITIALLY STARTED, AFTER FEW MINUTES OF WARM UP TIME, HEAT WAS ACTIVATED AND NO HEAT WAS DISPERSED. BEGAN DRIVING, DESPITE NO HEAT. WITHIN 1 MILE TRAVELING LESS THAT 15 MPH, THE TEMPARATURE GAGE INCREASED TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL, STILL WITHOUT HEAT IN CAR. (PICTURE 1) AS SPEED INCREASED, TEMPERATURE GAGE RAPIDLY FLUCTUATED AND ESP WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON DASH. (PICTURE 2) PULLED OFF HIGHWAY IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING WARNING LIGHTS, ENGINE FOUND TO BE SMOKING. DIAGNOSED WITH ENGINE CRACK., CRACK SEALED FOR TEMPORARY FUNCTION, WITHIN DAYS OF SEAL, SAME SYMPTOMS AS PREVIOUSLY STATED, BUT TOTAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN FOLLOWING ESP WARNING LIGHTS. ACCELERATION HALTED, POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND BRAKES DIFFICULT TO WORK. AFTER SITTING OFF, CAR UNABLE TO START.
