SUZUKI Complaints

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I COULDN'T STOP. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT HOLD. I T-BONED THE CAR RESULTING IN NEAR FATAL INJURIES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 SUZUKI SX4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE AIR COMPRESSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

FUSE FOR ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM BLEW AND CAUSED THE RADIATOR TO BLOW INTO PIECES. REPLACED RADIATOR, REPLACED BOTH COOLING SYSTEM FANS, CHECKED RELAYS, 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS HAVE LOOKED AT IT AND CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT. IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT NOW IT BLOWS THE COOLING SYSTEM FUSE AS SOON AS YOU TURN THE KEY TO START THE CAR.

I SHOULD HAVE DONE MY HOMEWORK BEFORE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. I BOUGHT IT FROM DEALERSHIP, AND FEEL FINDING OUT MORE , WHY ARE THESE CARS ALOUD TO STILL BE SOLD. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE DAY ONE WITH ACCELERATING. CONSTANTLY STALLING AND BUCKING. I READ HOW THUS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR SINCE DAY 1. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD ONLY DO ONE MINOR REPAIR AND REFUSED TO HELP WITH ANYTHING ELSE, AS IT WAS SOLD AS IS. I HAD A MECHANIC HOOK IT UP AND FOUND 12 TRANSMISSION CODES!!!! I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OR 2/CHILDREN AND FEAR FOR OUR SAFETY EVERY TIME WE GET IN THIS CAR. I SO WISH I NEVER PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. BUT NOW ITS TOO LATE, I STILL OWE MONEY AND CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE. JUST WONDERING , I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY, BUT WERE THERE OR ARE THERE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM? JUST FRUSTRATED.

SUZUKI HAS NOT PROVIDED INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR VEHICLES FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL. AS A 71 YEAR OLD, WEIGHING ONLY 90 POUNDS, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIR BAGS IN MY CAR. SINCE SUZUKI PULLED THEIR AUTO UNIT OUT OF THE US A FEW YEARS AGO, THOSE OF US WHO PURCHASED A SUZUKI HAVE BEEN LEFT HANGING HIGH AND DRY.

DRIVING ALONG WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE JUST CUT OFF, I STILL HAD ELECTRICAL POWER, ALL SYSTEMS WERE STILL WORKING. I GOT TO SIDE OF ROAD TURNED EVERYTHING OFF. I THEN TRIED STARTING THE ENGINE, AFTER ABOUT THREE OR FOUR TIMES THE ENGINE WOULD START. I THEN DROVE THE CAR TRYING TO GET HOME, WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE WOULD STALL AGAIN. THIS COULD CAUSE A VERY BAD ACCIDENT IF ON AN INTERSTATE AT HIGH SPEED.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AT 98000 MILES IN 2011 AND SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD AIRBAG LIGHT STAYING ON EVERY 4-6MONTHS OR SO ( THE DRIVE SIDE)...THEN I WOULD TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THE CENSOR, ETC AND RESET IT. AM REALLY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS, THERE MUST BE A FAULTY SENSOR/PART OF THE AIRBAG WITH 2006 SUZUKI FLORENZA AIRBAG.

WAS IN A FRONTAL ACCIDENT. FRONT END OF CAR PRETTY MUCH TOTALED. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CODES OR LIGHT BEFORE THIS.

CAR WILL GO FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AND IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 2 WEEKS OFF AND ON IT COMES AND GOES .I HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON A BRIDGE ,GOING UP A HILL,AND AS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY .

I OWN A 2008 SUZUKI GSXR 1000, WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE FRONT BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. MY MOTORCYCLE IS EXPERIENCING THE CONDITION TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS NOT SAFE TO RIDE. IT HAS BEEN MADE CLEAR TO ME THAT SUZUKI WILL NOT COVER THE EXPENSE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE REMEDY TO BE APPLIED. AS AN EMPLOYEE OF AN AUTOMOBILE DEALERSHIP, I KNOW THAT WHEN SERIOUS SAFETY RECALLS ARE RELEASED AND THE VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE CONDITION, IT IS AT VERY LEAST CUSTOMARY FOR ARRANGEMENTS TO BE MADE SO THAT THE AFFECTED VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEN. SUZUKI BEING UNWILLING TO COVER THE COST OF TRANSPORTATION OF AFFECTED VEHICLES SEEMS TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO RIDE THEIR POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS VEHICLES WHEN THEY SHOULD NOT.
