SUZUKI Complaints

THIS IS THE WORST NEW CAR I HAVE EVER SEEN, VERY POOR QUALITY. THE DEALER HAS LOOKED AT THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM 4 TIMES, SAYS CAR IS BEING DRIVEN WRONG. BANGING NOISE HAPPENS IN FIRST AND SECOND GEARS, WINDSHIELD SEAL IS BAD, VIBRATES AND CRACKS IN COLD WEATHER, BOTH PROBLEMS REPORTED TO SUZUKI.

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT STAY IN 2ND GEAR. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT!! I HAVE BEEN READING THAT THERE ARE OTHER PROBLEMS THAT ARE VERY SIMILAR. *AK

CONSUMER WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN DRIVER NOTICED THAT GEAR WAS IN THE 2ND GEAR ,CONSUMER WENT TO SHIFT GEAR WHEN IT SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPIN AND ROLL OVER. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED, RESULTING IN INJUIRES TO DRIVER. *AK

WHEN TRANSMISSION IS IN SECOND GEAR MOTORCYCLE JUMPS OUT OF SECOND. DEALER HAS INSPECTED THE MOTORCYCLE.*AK

THE DEALER HAS BEEN GREAT BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE OTHER BIKES ARE BEENING TAKEN CARE OFF. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED.

UNDER ACCELERATION, 2ND GEAR WILL RAPIDLY JUMP IN-AND-OUT OF GEAR, CAUSING THE MOTORCYCLE TO BE UNSAFE DURING NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS. *AK

SECOND GEAR WILL CONTINUOSLY ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE WHILE RIDING, THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS ON A MOTORCYCLE AND IT FEELS VERY UNSTABLE. THIS IS DUE TO UNSUFFICIENT GEARBOX COMPONENT/S THAT WILL DETERIOTE OVER A SMALL DURATION OF MILEAGE. SUZUKI HAS UPDATED PART NUMBERS ALREADY AND ARE PROBABLY WORKING ON MORE, NO TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS OR RECALLS HAVE BEEN POSTED AT THIS TIME. HOPEFULLY IT DOESNT TAKE A FATALITY OR SEVERE BODILY INJURY LAWSUIT BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS CORRECTED. IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL AT DAYTIME(636)891-2806 FOR MORE INFORMATION. *AK

POPS OUT OF 2ND GEAR DURING ACCELERATION, WHICH IS EXTREMEMLY DANGEROUS. THIS HAPPENS VERY OFTEN. AT LEAST 4-5 TIMES A DAY. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OVER 30 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MOTORCYCLE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

THE MOTORCYCLE WILL MOMENTARILY POP OUT OF SECOND GEAR. THIS IS POTENTIALLY DEADLY ON A MOTORCYCLE. SUZUKI SAYS THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE ISSUS, AND INSIST IT'S DUE TO ABUSE. *AK

SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE, WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE DEVELOPED SEVERE VIBRATION PRESUMED FROM TRANSMISSION LASTING APPROX. 10 MILES, AFTERWHICH VEHICLE RESUMED SOMEWHAT NORMAL PERFORMANCE. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DETERMINE CAUSE. IT IS NOW 2,000 MILES LATER AND VEHICLE CONSTANTLY VIBRATES AND WORSENS AS SPEED INCREASES. DEALER REBALANCED TIRES - TEST DROVE AND TOLD ME VIBRATION WAS STILL THERE. MECHANIC CANNOT DETERMINE CAUSE OF VIBRATION. WAS TOLD VEHICLE IS SAFE TO OPERATE. STILL AWAITING A DIAGNOSES FROM DEALERSHIP.*AK
