SUZUKI Complaints

I WAS PROCEEDING SLOWLY, IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE, ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF ROAD. IT WAS SNOWING LIGHTLY. I FELT A SLIGHT "THUMP" UNDER THE CAR, AS IF I'D RUN OVER A SMALL STICK OR SOMETHING SIMILAR. THE CAR SUDDENLY VEERED TO THE RIGHT, STRUCK A SNOWBANK, AND THEN SPUN AROUND, COMING TO REST WITH THE LEFT FRONT AGAINST THE GUARDRAIL. THE STEERING KNUCKLE HAD FRACTURED. THE FACTORY REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY REDESIGNED, AND HAS BEEN REINFORCED AT THE EXACT SPOT THAT SNAPPED. IS THERE A HISTORY OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS PART?*AK

IN REGARDS TO SECURITY, HAD IT CHECKED BY DEALER WHO STATED BATTERY, WORKED FOR A WEEK AND FAILED AGAIN. HAVE NOT HAD IT CHECKED SINCE. WHAT SHOULD I DO? *AK

WHILE IDLING, REAR BRAKE LINE CAUGHT ON FIRE. MANUFACTURER WARRANTY REP CLAIMED THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THIS BIKE TO OVERHEAT IF LEFT IDLING TOO LONG. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED AFTER IDLING FOR 15 MINUTES IN 30 DEGREE WEATHER.

THE DASHBOARD, STEERING WHEEL, & GAS PEDAL ALL VIBRATED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 50 AND 65 MPH

WHILE MOVING AT LOW SPEEDS IN 4WD THE TRANSAXLE WOULD MAKE A LOUD THUMPING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD "POP" OUT OF 4WD, BUT THE 4WD INDICATOR LIGHT REMAINED LIT. THIS PROBLEM INITIALLY OCCURED GOING UP HILLS BUT NOW ALL THE TIME. WHILE ASCENDING A STEEP GRADE THE VEHICLE CAME OUT OF 4WD AND BROKE TRACTION CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL.--

TIRES ARE TOO SMALL AND TREAD IS INADEQUATE FOR INCLEMENT DRIVING CONDITIONS, BRAKES LOCK UP TOO QUICKLY, CAUSING THE FRONT END TO DIP FOWARD, RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL. *AK( DOT NUMBER: DMA518 TIRE SIZE: P235/R16 )
