AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS A LEMON!! I BOUGHT MY SUZUKI 2 YEARS AGO USED AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED. AFTER I GET GAS IT SPUTTERS AND STRUGGLES STARTING. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. EVENTUALLY IT JUST STOPS RUNNING. I COULD NOT DRIVE MY SUZUKI MOST OF THE WINTER BECAUSE OF THAT AND NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT. THE SUNROOF AND WINDSHIELD LEAK. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT A COUPLE OF TIMES AND IT IS STILL LEAKING. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT DOESN'T WORK. THE TURN SIGNAL DOESN'T WORK. NOW MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. IT IS STUCK AT 80 WHEN IT IS PARKED AND THEN GOES UP FROM THERE WHEN I AM DRIVING IT. WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE IS GOING TO STOP WORKING. I AM SO FRUSTRATED, THERE ARE TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT IS UNSAFE!

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THE SPEEDOMETER ON THE CAR DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY IF AT ALL WHEN DRIVING AS WELL AS THE THE FUEL GAUGE. THE CAR STARTED IT'S DINGY NOISE AS IF THE KEY IS ALWAYS IN THE IGNITION (WHEN OFF) OR A DOOR IS AJAR. IT WON'T SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING OR WHEN TURNED AND IT DRAINS THE BATTERY. THIS CAR HAS HAD MORE PROBLEMS AND SHOULD'VE BEEN RECALLED. THE FUEL PUMP WAS RECALLED BUT THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES THAT HAVE HAPPENED. DRIVING WITHOUT THE SPEEDOMETER WORKING OF THE FUEL GAUGE WORKING CORRECTLY SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND THE DEALER IS NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SUPER FRUSTRATING! DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE NOW FOR OVER A YEAR. HAVING TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE 3RD TIME.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT HAS COME ON. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THEY TELL ME IT IS TOO BAD. THAT THE CAR WAS SOLD AS IS. I TAKE THE CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO SAYS THAT I NEED TO HAVE THE TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONER REPLACED. IT WILL COST $600 PLUS PARTS TO REPAIR. MY VEHICLE HAS 116XXX MILES. THERE IS PAINT CHIPPING, AND MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS SHOWING THE TEMP GAUGE ON HOT AND RESTS IN THE MIDDLE POSITION AFTER SITTING OVER NIGHT. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST SUZUKI SHOULD BE CONSIDERED, BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE, AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL, IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS A 3 DAY REPAIR JOB AT MINIMUM. SUZUKI KNEW THIS WAS AN ISSUE, THEY SHOULD SHOW SOME MORALITY AND ETHICS AS TO OFFER THEIR CONSUMERS A REMEDY TO THIS ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OR LOSS OF LIFE HAPPENS.
