SUZUKI Complaints

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSISTENTLY ON AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT IT'S THE PASSENGER SEAT THAT IS CAUSING THE LIGHT TO BE ACTIVATED. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY THE DEALER APPROXIMATELY $2000.00 TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SEAT AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT? SUZUKI SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF SOMEONE IS HURT OR POSSIBLY KILLED IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG ISN'T ACTIVATED, BECAUSE OF A SEAT MAT THAT THEY PLACED IN THE VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT SEEMS THAT OTHER DRIVER'S OF SUZUKI SX4 CARS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

I OWN A 2012 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA WITH 38,000 MILES. THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION LINKAGE BROKE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I WAS ROUNDING A CORNER AND PREPARING TO DOWNSHIFT IN ORDER TO NEGOTIATE A LARGE HILL ON A MAIN STREET. I GRABBED THE GEARSHIFT DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH TO DOWNSHIFT INTO 4TH GEAR WHEN I PULLED THE GEAR SHIFT BACK INTO THE 4TH GEAR POSITION THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE POP AND THE THE GEARSHIFT WAS EXTREMELY LOOSE. I LET OUT ON THE CLUTCH AND REALIZED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN 5TH GEAR. THE GEARSHIFT WAS OBVIOUSLY NO LONGER CONNECTED TO THE TRANSMISSION BUT I WAS ABLE TO TAKE BACK STREETS TO OUR MECHANIC'S SHOP WHILE AVOIDING ALL STOP LIGHTS. THIS IN MY OPINION SHOULD BE A FACTORY RECALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT FAILURE OF A CRITICAL COMPONENT. I HAVE OWNED OTHER STANDARD TRANSMISSION VEHICLES AND IN THE 12 YEARS I OWNED MY LAST VEHICLE I NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA. WHILE DRIVING 3 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A BUILDING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 135,000. UPDATED 04/05/17*LJ *CN

FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NEITHER UNLOCK NOR OPEN DUE TO FAULTY "DOOR LATCH", CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD AS VEHICLE EGRESS IS IMPOSSIBLE UNDER EMERGENCY CONDITIONS. SUZUKI DEALER OR AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER STATES OEM REPLACEMENT PART WILL TAKE THREE MONTHS TO REPLACE ONCE IT IS ORDERED, AS IT NEEDS TO BE SHIPPED FORM SUZUKI JAPAN, WITH AN ESTIMATED COST OF $250 FOR PARTS & LABOR EXCLUDING TAX.

MY SUV KEEPS SHUTTING THE STABILITY CONTROL OFF FOR NO REASON EVERYTIME I SCAN THE COMPUTER THERE IS NO CODES AND IT JUST SHUT OFF RANDOMLY FOR NO REASON AT ALL AND SUZUKI DEALERSHIPS SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WHEN THERE OBVIOUSLY IS BECAUSE WHEN IM DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET AND IT JUST SHUTS IT OFF WHILE YOUR DRIVING IT PUT YOU AND THE PEOPLE IN YOU CAR IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE IN THE PROGRESS OF SHUTTING THAT OFF THE ABS GOES OFF THE TRANSACTION CONTROL GOES OFF AND THE STABILITY CONTROL STOP WORKING NOT SAFE AT ALL. *TR

TRANSMISSION REGULATION SENSOR - CAR JUMPING OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING. DANGEROUS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL ROAD, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON DASH AND STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY HEAVY. SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED FAILURE OF ELECTRICAL POWER ASSIST IN STEERING. IF THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND/OR IN A CURVE, CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. SHUT OFF CAR AND RESTARTED, COMPUTERS AND MOTORS RESET AND CAR DROVE NORMALLY, BUT IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME TWO DAYS LATER. SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED FAILURE OF ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING ON TWO OCCASIONS. WILL BRING CAR TO DEALER FOR ANALYSIS
