Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2006-2011 Grand Vitara and 2007-2011 SX4 vehicles. In the affected vehicles, over time, the OCS sensor mat installed in the front passenger seat may fail due to repeated flexing of the mat from use of the seat. As a result, during a crash necessitating deployment, the air bag will deploy regardless of whether the front seat occupant is an adult or a child.
SUZUKI IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2009-2010 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA MULTIPURPOSE PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4-CYLINDER ENGINES; MODEL YEAR 2011 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA MULTIPURPOSE PASSENGER VEHICLES PRODUCED PRIOR TO OCTOBER 17, 2010; MODEL YEAR 2010 SUZUKI SX4 PASSENGER VEHICLES; AND 2011 SUZUKI SX4 PASSENGER VEHICLES PRODUCED PRIOR TO OCTOBER 14, 2010. THE TENSION ADJUSTER PULLEY FOR THE DRIVE BELT THAT OPERATES THE ALTERNATOR, WATER PUMP, AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR AND POWER STEERING PUMP, HAS AN IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED INTERNAL SPRING THAT CAN BREAK DUE TO REPEATED STRESS. IF THE SPRING BREAKS, THE DRIVE BELT WILL NOT BE ADJUSTED PROPERLY AND CAN SLIP, CAUSING A SQUEAKING NOISE. OR THE DRIVE BELT COULD COME OFF CAUSING THE DRIVER TO INCREASE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN ALSO CAUSE THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE INDICATION TO RISE, WHICH CAN LEAD TO THE ENGINE OVERHEATING, OR CAN CAUSE THE CHARGING LIGHT TO COME ON, WHICH CAN LEAD TO BATTERY DISCHARGE AND ENGINE STALL.

AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN, I SLOWLY TURNED THE CORNER TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO A HIGH SPEED ON THE CITY STREET. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE HITTING A PARKED CAR. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED - MINOR INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED AND THE CAR WAS EXTENSIVELY DAMAGED. IN RESEARCHING THE CAUSE, I SEE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SUZUKI SX4 AND ITS "SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" PROBLEM ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, REPAIRPAL, AND CNN. AT THIS POINT, THE DAMAGE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED THOUGH IT IS LIKELY TO BE $4,000-$5,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 SUZUKI SX4. AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO ANY OTHER GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD ALREADY BEEN SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V118000 (POWER TRAIN).
