THE CAR JUST DIES ON US IN TRAFFIC FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND THEN WE HAVE TO LET IT SET FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND IT WILL START RIGTH BACK UP. WE HAVE HAD IT IN AT THE DEALERS TO BE FIXED ON 2 DIFFERENT OCASSIONS AND THEY HOOK IT UP TO THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS AND IT SHOWS NO DEFECTS.THEY SAID THEY THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE CRUISE CONTROL THEY HAD INSTALLED AFTERMARKET. SO THEY REMOVED THAT AND TOLD US IT WAS FIXED. THE VERY NEXT DAY IT STARTED DYING ON US AGAIN.*AK

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2004 SUZUKI FORENZA FROM A SUZUKI DEALER IN TUCSON ARIZONA ON 05/21/04. FROM THE FIRST DAY WE DID NOT FEEL THAT A/C WAS WORKING CORRECTLY AND WAS COOLING AFTER A APPROX 30 MIN DRIVE. I BOUGHT A TEMP GAUGE TO CHECK THE VENT TEMP AND THE READING WILL NOT GO LOWER THEN 50F. ALL DRIVER'S SHOULD KNOW THAT A NICE COLD A/C SHOULD REACH 40F AT ITS BEST PERFORMANCE. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FREON WAS LOW AND HAVE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THE A/C WORKED GOOD FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND STARTED PERFORMING THE SAME AS BEFORE. SECOND TIME, I TOOK THE DEALER TECHNICIAN WITH HIS DIGITAL TEMP READER ON A DRIVE. THE OUTSIDE TEMP WAS 106F AND THE VENT TEMP WAS 48F. PLEASE NOTE WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE CAR WAS RUNNING FOR MORE THEN 30 MINS. DEALERSHIP REFERRED TO THE SUZUKI TECH LINE AND TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE A/C. THERE EXPLANATION WAS THAT IF THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS 99F THEN THE VENT TEMP SHOULD BE HIGHER THEN 50F AND AS IT WAS 106F OUTSIDE, YOUR A/C IS WORKING FINE. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE A SHODDY, CHEAP AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. PLEASE CHECK ALL ITEMS ON THE CAR PRIOR TO BUYING A SUZUKI AUTOMOBILE. *JB
