EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SUZUKI RENO. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 12V397000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS) AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V452000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS REPAIRED. AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. THERE WAS A WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF WHAT IT WAS EXACTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT RELATED TO EITHER RECALL AND THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH ANY REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO SUZUKI SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY WERE NEVER ABLE TO REPAIR IT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON SUZUKI RENOS AND FORENZAS (RENO AND FORENZA ARE THE HATCHBACK AND SEDAN VERSIONS OF THE SAME CAR). THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, BUT SUZUKI SEEMS INCAPABLE OF FIXING THE PROBLEM. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT BEING ON ALL THE TIME MEANS THE AIRBAG WILL EITHER NOT DEPLOY WHEN IT SHOULD, WHICH COULD LEAD TO DEATH OR INJURY OR COULD DEPLOY WHEN IT SHOULDN'T WHICH COULD ALSO LEAD TO DEATH OR INJURY. THIS NEEDS TO BE MADE FROM A TSB INTO A NON VOLUNTARY RE-CALL FOR SUZUKI, BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED AS A RESULT OF THE DEFECT. *TR

POWER TRAIN
INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND THE RPMS WOULD REACH HIGHER POINTS EVEN WHILE IDLING. DURING NORMAL DRIVES THE UNIT WOULD START REVVING WHEN IT WAS TO SWITCHING OVER TO ANOTHER GEAR AND AFTER THE ISSUE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR HAS PROBLEMS ACCELERATING. SOMETIMES ON START UP A SIMILAR ISSUE APPEARS AND AFTER THE REVVING ENDS IT SLOWLY GOES BACK TO NORMAL RPMS BUT HAVING A HARD TIME ACCELERATING. WE'VE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY'VE REPLACED PARTS AND HAVE HELD THE VEHICLE PLENTY OF TIMES TO FIX THE ISSUE BUT IT GOES AWAY AND COMES RIGHT BACK. EACH TIME WE'VE BROUGHT IT IN IT EITHER GOES AWAY FROM A RESET AND NEVER COMES BACK OR GOES AWAY BEFORE THEY CAN INSPECT IT. OCCASIONALLY WE WERE CAPABLE OF BRINGING THE CAR WITH THE ISSUE AND THE ERROR CODE DIFFERENTIATES FROM ONE ANOTHER. EACH TIME THEY'VE SAID THEY HAVE FIXED THE CAR BUT IT COMES BACK UP. NOW WE'RE AT A LOSS AS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WE PURCHASED HAS EXPIRED AND WE CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO SPEND MORE MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE. WE'VE SEARCHED COUNTLESS RECORDS ONLINE WITH OTHERS STATING THE SAME ISSUE. WE'VE BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO THIRD PARTY MECHANICS TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN FIND BUT NO ONE WILL TOUCH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP LOCAL TO US HAS ALL THE RECORDS OF IT AND CAN PROVIDE THEM. *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. TOOK IT BACK TO SUZUKI WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THEY REPAIRED IT AND WITHIN A WEEK IT CAME BACK ON. BROUGHT BACK SEVERAL MORE TIMES, THEY WERE UNABLE TO PERMANENTLY FIX IT. WAS TOLD "THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON SUZUKI RENOS. THE SENSOR UNDER THE SEAT IS THE PROBLEM" BY SUZUKI MECHANIC. HAVE CHECKED AND IT DOES APPEAR TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. IF THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON IT MEANS THE AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A FRONTAL COLLISION, WHICH COULD LEAD TO DEATH OR INJURY FOR THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AS I WAS DRIVING I NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM. I PULLED OVER TO TEST MY LIGHTS AND NOTICED THAT WHEN I TURNED ON AND OFF THE HEADLIGHTS THAT THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN BRIGHTNESS. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED ON THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE LIGHTS DID NOT COME ON. I HAD BEEN DRIVING WITH THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ONLY. I DID A CHECK ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. I CALLED THE LOCAL SUZUKI DEALERSHIP AND AFTER GIVING THEM MY VIN THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO ACTIVE RECALL IN EFFECT FOR MY CAR. I THINK THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO MY CAR AS WELL. IN THE INTERIM I AM TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE HEADLAMPS FIXED BUT IT WILL COST ME MONEY TO DO SO. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WAS DRIVING ON I40 TO WILMINGTON, NC FROM RALEIGH, NC. I STOPPED TO GET GAS WHEN I WAS ABOUT 30 MINUTES AWAY FROM WILMINGTON. I NOTICED MY DASHBOARD LOOKED LIKE IT WAS JUMPY. ALL THE GAUGE LINES WERE GOING BACK AND FORTH. BUT IT LASTED ONLY SECONDS AND REALLY I THOUGHT...DID THAT REALLY HAPPEN. I GOT BACK ON THE ROAD BECAUSE THE CAR WAS DRIVING PERFECTLY FINE. ONCE I GOT INTO WILMINGTON, THE CAR STARTED SMOKING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, THE GAUGES WERE GOING CRAZY. THE GAUGES WERE JUST GOING BACK AND FORTH AND BACK AND FORTH LIKE THEY WERE POSSESSED! THE CAR STALLED, I GOT IT OFF THE ROAD AS BEST AS POSSIBLE, RAISED THE HOOD AND SMALL FLAMES WERE COMING OUT. I TOOK A TOWEL AND THROUGH IT OVER THE MOTOR AND IT KILLED THE FLAMES. CHECK OIL, IT WAS FINE, HAD PLENTY OF GAS. MY DAD SAID IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAD AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND THEN THE FAN WENT OUT AND CAUSED THE CAR TO OVER HEAT AND IT BLEW A HEAD GASKET. NOT SURE WHY IT WOULD HAVE HAD AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE CAR IS PARKED NOW BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO FIX IT. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS KIND OF PROBLEM? *TR

ENGINE
THIS IS AN ON GOING OCCURRENCE SINCE I HAVE OWNED MY VEHICLE, MY ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME ITS JUST A SENSOR GLITCH AND THEY HAVE FIXED IT, ALONG WITH MY AIRBAG LIGHT WHICH IS STILL ON. A COUPLE DAYS AFTER I LEAVE THE DEALER, IT COMES BACK ON AND I LOSE POWER WHEN I TRY TO EXCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME A COUPLE TIMES WHEN I AM ENTERING THE INTERSTATE AND I AM GETTING SICK OF IT. MY ORIGINAL WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT AND I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO FIX A PROBLEM THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED ALTHOUGH I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THEM WHEN THE WARRANTY IS IN EFFECT. WOULD THIS BE COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY?? I SEE THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM..HOW MANY REPORTS DO YOU NEED TO DETERMINE IF THIS A MANUFACTURING GLITCH. I AM GETTING VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS (I SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LONG TIME AGO). WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS WITHOUT COMING OUT OF MY POCKET. AT THIS POINT I DONT THINK I WOULD EVER BY ANOTHER SUZUKI AND ADVISE MY FRIENDS AGAINST IT. *TR

CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN TURNED OFF. WHEN I TURNED ON THE CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON, PUT CAR IN REVERSE AND CLUNK, WHILE THE DISPLAY WHERE THE R FOR REVERSE WOULD HAVE BEEN WAS SCRAMBLED, CAR STILL REVERSED. CLUNKED INTO DRIVE, AND WOULDN'T SWITCH OUT OF 1ST GEAR. THIS OCCURS SPORADICALLY. CHECK ENGINE CODE SIGNALED TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR MALFUNCTION. THERE ARE MANY OTHER OCCURRENCES FOR THE SAME MODEL YEAR WHICH OCCURS AROUND 70000 MILES. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING EARLY IN THE EVENING AND DRIVING IN A WELL LIT 15 MPH ZONE JUST AFTER DUSK. PEOPLE ON THE SIDEWALK STARTED POINTING AT MY CAR. WHEN I TURNED UP THE SIDE STREET I REALIZED I HAD NO HEADLIGHTS! I FOUND OUT THAT MY HIGH BEAMS STILL WORKED AND I DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS. I HAD THE CAR CHECKED FOR FUSES, RELAYS, AND BULBS BY MY MECHANIC. I WAS TOLD IT WAS IN THE WIRING. I CAME HOME AND CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A POTENTIAL CRASH! THE AMERICAN SUZUKI COMPANY WILL NOT HONOR THIS RECALL. THIS CAR WAS NOT SOLD IN HAWAII, BUT WAS SHIPPED HERE FROM CALIFORNIA FROM THE PERSON I BOUGHT IT FROM IN 2005. NOW THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR IT, AND I HAVE TO FIND MY OWN ASE MECHANIC THAT IS WILLING TO HAVE INSTRUCTIONS FAXED TO THEM IF THEY MEET THE REQUIREMENTS.. ON TOP OF THAT, THEY ARE ONLY WILLING TO PAY $68.00....WHICH I AM SURE WILL NOT COVER THE LABOR FOR THIS PROCEDURE. I AM ON SOCIAL SECURITY AND DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR.. WHAT DO I DO NEXT? I NEED MY HEADLIGHTS FIXED! PLEASE HELP! *TR

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHEN CAR WAS JUST OVER A YEAR OLD. HAD IT RESET AT DEALERSHIP, CAME BACK ON WITHIN HOURS. CALLED BACK AND WAS TOLD IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON SUZUKI RENOS AND FORENZAS. AI BAG LIGHT WILL NOT SHUT OFF. SUZUKI WILL NOT FIX EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON IT. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. IF THE CAR IS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. I BELIEVE THAT SUZUKI SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL ALL CARS IMPACTED AND REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ARISING FROM A DESIGN OR PRODUCTION FLAW, THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR, BEFORE SOMEONE HAS AN ACCIDENT AND IS KILLED BECAUSE THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY. BULLETIN NO: TS0501158 DATE OF BULLETIN: 03/20/2008 SUMMARY DESCRIPTION: AIRBAG LIGHT ON; DTC B1378 (DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG RESISTANCE TOO HIGH) AND/OR DTC B1382 (PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG RESISTANCE TOO HIGH). FORENZA, SEDAN/WAGON, RENO (RQ420) 2005-2006. VIN(S) -6K425022. *NJ *JS

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR AND IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THIS WILL COST + OR - 250.00. THE CAR IS STILL COVERED BY THE 100,000 MILE 10 YEAR WARRANTY AND HAS ONLY 38,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON SUZUKI RENOS AND FORENZAS. . . IS THIS A DEFECTIVE PART. IT IS DANGEROUS- *TR

AT AROUND 50K MILES, VEHICLE STARTED SHIFTING HARD, NOT SHIFTING INTO DRIVE, THEN ACTUALLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING @ ABOUT 20-25 MPH, WITH VEHICLES BEHIND ME. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS RECENTLY APPEARED AND PRODUCED CODES 700 AND 705 FOR RANGE SENSOR. HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THE ISSUE IS WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL, BUT RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. *JS

MY WIFE HAS BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND SEEMS LIKE ITS GOING TO BE ON ITS THIRD TRANS AND IT ONLY HAS 67000 MILES ON IT. THE CARS ENGINE LITE COMES ON STEADY AND DRIVES FINE FOR A LITTLE BIT BUT AFTER A WHILE THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING AND THE CAR IDLES ROUGH, GOES 0-60 IN CHRISTMAS TO NEXT THANKSGIVING THEN WILL NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY. IT FEELS LIKE IT IS TAKING OFF IN THIRD GEAR EVERY TIME. WHEN IT FINALLY GETS GOING IT SHIFTS IN THE 5-7000 RPM RANGE. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP THE FIRST TIME AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SENSOR. THEY CHANGED THE SENSOR AND STILL THE SAME SO THEY CHANGED THE TRANS AT ONLY UNDER 30000 MILES. TWO DAYS LATER AND 12 MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE SAME THING OCCURS. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THAT WE WILL HAVE TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE TRIED TO EMAIL OTHER DEALERS AND NOONE WILL TOUCH IT. NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING EXCEPT THE CAR WILL JUST NOT HARDLY MOVE. IT SEEMS TO BE FOULING OUT THE PLUGS. I PULLED THEM AND THEY ARE ALL COVERED IN FUEL. IT NOW FEELS LIKE ITS THE TIMING BELT THAT SLIPPED A TOOTH. SUZUKI SHOULD STICK WITH MAKING BIKES AND NOT CARS AND MAYBE HAVE BETTER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE. I AM AT LOST FOR WORDS OR KNOWLEDGE AS TO WHAT TO DO. I FEEL THAT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS ON SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED MOST DEFINITELY. IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND SHOULDN'T BE ON THE ROAD. THERE HAS BEEN INSTANCES WHERE IM ABOUT TO TURN LEFT AND THE CAR LOOSES POWER HALF WAY THROUGH THE TURN. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS DEATH TRAP. MY WIFE TOTES AROUND OTHER KIDS IN THIS CAR FOR HER JOB. THANK YOU *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, AIR BAGS
MY 2008 SUZUKI RENO HAS OVER 100,000 MILES AND I FIRST EXPERIENCED SYMPTOMS SOMETIME IN JUNE 2010 ONLY A YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT IT. AT FIRST IT WAS JUST THAT THE CAR SEEMED TO HAVE TROUBLE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP (LIKE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT) AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER THAT THE SYMPTOMS GOT INCREASINGLY WORSE. IT WOULD INTIALLY HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS LISTED ABOVE, THEN IT WOULD GET BETTER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD TURN OFF. THEN I STARTED GETTING THE PERIODIC CLUNK AND SCRAMBLED GEAR DISPLAY LIKE ALL THE GEARS WITH A LINE THRU IT ON THE DASH. I TOLD MY HUSBAND WHO CAN WORK ON OLDER MODEL CARS AND HE DROVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK WITH NO PROBLEM, THEN HE WAS IN THE CAR WITH MY GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND IT DID IT AND ALMOST MADE THE CAR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FROM ALMOST 70MPH WITH VEHICLES BEHIND US. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I GOT IT AND THEY SAID THAT IF THE LIGHT WASN'T STAYING ON ALL THE TIME, THEN THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DO BUT THAT IT DIDN'T SOUND LIKE IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH MY 2008 RENO SINCE IT REACHED 70,000 MILES. I'VE KEPT UP ON MY MAINTENANCE. ALSO BOTH OF MY AIRBAG LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME, THE PASSENGER LIGHT STAYS ON AS IF NO ONE IS SITTING IN IT EVEN WITH A 200 POUND PERSON SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE CAR HASN'T BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS TO MAKE THEM NOT READ RIGHT. *TR
