2006 Suzuki Forenza Complaint Log

THREE WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED MY FORENZA THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP & WAS TOLD IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE FORENZA .THE PROBLEM HAD TO DO WITH THE '02 SENSOR' AND CURRENTLY THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. AT THAT TIME THEY RESET THE CODE PROBLEM. EACH TIME THE PROBLEM RECURRED I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAUSED THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF. ON AUGUST 25 THE PROMISED FIXED WAS INSTALLED AND A FEW DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AGAIN AND I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CORRECTION HAS NOT WORKED AND I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN ONE WAS AVAILABLE. AS OF OCTOBER 25, 2006, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY NO ONE, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE CALLED, WRITTEN AND EMAILED TO EVERYONE CONNECTED TO THE DEALERSHIP. *NM

I BROUGHT A 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA ON JULY 11, 2006. IN TWO OR THREE DAYS I NOTICED SOMETHING WRONG IN THE WAY IT WAS DRIVING. I TOOK IT BACK AND THE GENERAL MANAGER DROVE THE CAR AND STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY STATED IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM AND IT NEEDED NEW SPARK PLUGS. THE CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT NEEDED AN UPGRADED SOFTWARE. THE CAR DOESN'T START IT SOUNDS AS IF IT WANTS TO CUT OFF AND IT DRIVES ROUGH AND STALLS. THIS CAR IS BRAND NEW AND MONTGOMERY KEYSTONE MOTORS WERE FULLY AWARE OF THIS AND STILL DECIDED TO SALE ME A LEMON. I HAVE CONTACTED AN ATTORNEY REGARDING THIS. *NM

BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW WITH 16 MILES ON IT IN JUN. 2 WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT IT, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR 53 DAYS AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED. *JB

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW WITH JUST 15 MILES ON IT AND HAD IT FOR 2 WEEKS AND THEN IT STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS WITH STARTING. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA. WHEN A PASSENGER IS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND REMAINS LIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 9,126 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20. UPDATED 12/31/07 *TR

I BOUGHT A NEW 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA FROM A DEALER ON 23 MAY 2006. AFTER ONE WEEK WITH THE CAR, I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS IN THAT IT DOES NOT START AFTER IT SITS FOR A WHILE. I CALLED THE SALESMAN ON 2 JUN 06 AND TOLD HIM THAT FOR THE THIRD TIME THAT WEEK, IT DIDN'T START. HE DIDN'T INFORM ME OF ANY PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AND JUST STATED IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN AND TO HAVE IT TOWED IN. I WENT BACK TO THE VEHICLE AND IT FINALLY STARTED BUT I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM STARTING IT EVERY DAY SINCE. TODAY I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH "COLD STARTS" ON THIS VEHICLE AND THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT AT THE PRESENT TIME, AND I'LL GET A RECALL MESSAGE IN THE FUTURE WHEN SUZUKI FIGURES OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCLOSED BY THE DEALER/SALESMAN BEFORE I BOUGHT THIS NEW VEHICLE AND WHEN I ORIGINALLY CALLED THEM ON 2 JUN 06 WITH A COMPLAINT, THEY SHOULD HAVE REVEALED THE PROBLEM TO ME AT THIS TIME. I FEEL THIS CAR IS A LEMON AND I HAVE NO RECOURSE. *JB

I PURCHASED A 4 DOOR 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA AND ON THE NEXT MORNING JUST A DAY AFTER I PURCHASED MY CAR I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I TRIED AGAIN AND THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE LIKE IT WAS HAVING A SEIZURE. I LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES BEFORE IT STARTED. WHEN I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP OF WHAT HAPPEN I WAS TOLD IT''S A NEW CAR AND I JUST HAD TO BREAK-IT-IN. EVERY MORNING THE CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER SITTING OVER NIGHT. ADDITIONALLY WHEN I DRIVE I WOULD EXPERIENCE SOME DELAYS FROM THE TRANSMISSION, WHEN I ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULD JERK. THE LAST TIME I HAD TO GET THE MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS A RE-PROGRAMMING ERROR. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID WHAT WAS CALLED A PASS THROUGH RE-PROGRAMMING HOWEVER THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR IN ON SEVERAL OCCASION BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 9/18/06 AND MY CAR IS STILL BEING TESTED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE STAR SUZUKI DEALERSHIP AT 1890 DOGWOOD DRIVE IN CONYERS, GA AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE FAILED. WHEN USING THE AIR CONDITIONER THERE WAS AN EXHAUST SMELL. THE PROBLEMS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP WAS ALERTED, NO INSPECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN ALERTED.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES OR JERKS FORWARD WHEN HE DEPRESSES THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS PRESENT. SHE MUST SHIFT INTO PARK IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY STOP THE VEHICLE. WHEN SHIFTING GEARS, SHE HEARS A THUMPING SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG, HOWEVER, THEY ADVISED HER TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES. THE SECOND TIME SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE FAILURE. THE SPEED WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 8,500 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500. UPDATED 12-12-07. *KB

WITHIN THE FIRST THREE DAYS OF PURCHASE,STARTED TO HAVE TROUBLE STARTING THE CAR IN THE MORNINGS. TOOK THE THING BACK. THEY HAVE HAD THE THING ALMOST TWO WEEKS NOW. THEY CANNOT TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. ALL THEY HAVE SAID TO ME IS " YOU HAVE A RENTAL" . *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START IN THE MORNING WITHOUT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEING PRESSED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM BUT BELIEVED IT MAY HAVE BEEN A SOFTWARE PROBLEM THAT WAS AGGRAVATED BY THE CLIMATE UPDATED 6/16/2006 - THE DEALER TOOK THE CAR BACK ND GAVE THE CONSUMER FULL CREDIT TOWARDS ANOTHER VEHICLE. *NM

I BOUGHT A SUZUKI FORENZA 2006 IN 10/2005 AND SINCE FEBRUARY 2006 I'VE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, 5 OUT OF 7 DAYS IT DOES NOT WANT TO START, I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME THING THREE TIMES AND I CALL EVERY WEEK FOR THE SAME REASON, NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM WITH THE FORENZAS BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. WE BOUGHT NEW SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, AND WE ARE PAYING FOR THIS CAR. PLEASE HELP US. *JB

I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, MY LIGHT WAS GREEN, I PROCEEDED INTO THE INTERSECTION, THEN A CAR RAN THEIR RED LIGHT, STRIKING MY LEFT FENDER/FRONT, BUCKLED UP MY CAR, BUMPERS LOCKED, HAD TO BE PULLED APART! IN THIS MVA, NONE OF THE FRONTAL/AIRBAGS DEPLOYED! THERE WERE 'FOUR' PEOPLE IN MY CAR, INCLUDING ME. ALL INJURED, ALL WENT TO THE HOSPITAL. AND ALL SEEKING MEDICAL ATTENTION. I WAS SHOCKED!! AS WELL AS THE PERSON IN THE OTHER FRONT SEAT. I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL, WITH MY HEAD...POLICE ON THE SCENE, SAID TO SUE FOR AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING! *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 55 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY SHIFTED FROM OVERDRIVE TO FIRST OR SECOND GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE RPM'S ON THE SPEEDOMETER INCREASED DRASTICALLY, AND THE CONTACT LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWED DOWN TO 25 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER, WHO DETERMINED THE MAIN PROCESSOR HAD TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AFTER THE PROCESSOR WAS REPROGRAMMED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER 6 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DETERMINED THAT THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY DEFECT, BUT GAVE THE CONTACT A RENTAL CAR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED.

NOT EVEN A FULL MONTH AFTER PURCHASING A 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA SEDAN, THE CAR DOESN'T START AFTER SITTING JUST OVERNIGHT FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS THAT I'VE OWNED IT. WHEN I CALLED KEYSTONE MOTORS IN MONTGOMERVILLE, PA, THE MANAGER WAS SMUG AND UNPROFESSIONAL. AND EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE A J.D. POWERS ASSOCIATE WINNER, HE SAID HE DIDN'T CARE ABOUT J.D. POWERS. THEY ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THE CAR, BUT I TOLD THEM IF JUST ONE MORE THING GOES WRONG, I WILL BE TRADING FOR A CAR THAT RUNS. *NM

2006 SUZUKI FORENZA WITH TROUBLE CRANKING. CUSTOMER STATES THAT HIS VEHICLE HAS TROUBLE STARTING AND FEELS A BIG NUDGE IN THE REAR WHEN CHANGING GEARS FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE OR DRIVE TO REVERSE. *KB *JB

ROUGH IDLING PROBLEMS / NO START PROBLEMS AFTER OWNING NEW 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA THREE DAYS. FIRST TIME HAPPENED AT GAS STATION. TOOK FOUR ATTEMPTS TO GET CAR RUNNING . HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP. REPLACED SPARK PLUG AND INSTALLED NEW COMPUTER. SAME PROBLEMS OCCURRED TWO DAYS LATER. HAVE HAD NEWER PROBLEMS OCCUR. CAR ON FOUR OCCASIONS HAS ALMOST DIED WHILE DRIVING, WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T. I CONTACTED MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE ROUGH IDLE/NO START PROBLEM. AM IN PROCESS WITH THEM NOW TO TRY TO GET A REFUND. PROBLEM IS THOUGHT TO BE WITH SOFTWARE GLITCH DOWNLOADING IMPROPER FUEL DATA INTO CARS COMPUTER. REP FROM MANUFACTURER SAID SOFTWARE DOWNLOADED USAGE OF SUMMER FUEL RATHER THAN WINTER WHICH IS WHY I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM WITH INTERMITTENT ROUGH IDLE , NO START, CAR TRYING TO DIE WHILE DRIVING. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THERE IS A FIX FOR AUTOMATICS BUT NOT FOR MANUALS LIKE MINE. ALTHOUGH ROUGH IDLE AND NO START PROBLEMS ARE MORE OF AN ANNOYANCE , THE CAR TRYING TO DIE IS MORE OF A CONCERN WHICH I FEEL IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *JB

CAR WILL NOT START AFTER SITTING FOR AWHILE THEY CHANGED THE GAS PUMP BUT THE SAME PROBLEM STILL EXISTS TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIRBAG OFF INDICATOR LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHEN A PASSENGER WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALERSHIP, WHO DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY. THE PASSENGER MUST SIT UPRIGHT IN ORDER TO TRIGGER BOTH SENSORS FOR THE AIRBAG OFF INDICATOR LIGHT TO SWITCH OFF. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT A PASSENGER IS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AFTER THE VEHICLE'S IGNITION IS TURNED ON, RESULTING IN THE CONTINUED ILLUMINATION OF THE AIRBAG OFF INDICATOR LIGHT. UPDATED 8/9/2006 - *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP. THE FIRST VEHICLE WAS EXCHANGED AT THE DEALER FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE OF THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL AFTER SIX WEEKS DUE TO REPLACEMENT FUEL PUMPS NOT REPAIRING THE PROBLEM. THE REPLACEMENT VEHICLE HAS ALSO BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP.

I OWN A 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA AND HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. SINCE PURCHASING NEW IN 2006, I HAVE HAD THE GAS GAUGE, GAS TANK, RADIO, CENTER CONSOLE, FRONT DOOR HANDLES & CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED. THE FACTORY TIRES WENT BAD WITHIN A YEAR, AND BECAUSE IT IS AN ODD TIRE SIZE COST OVER $400 TO REPLACE. CURRENTLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON STATING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHICH WAS JUST REPLACED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. I LEFT THE CAR OVERNIGHT AT THE DEALER & GOT A RENTAL CAR (WHICH COST $75) AND THE DEALER AND SUZUKI TECH SUPPORT CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ERROR CONTINUES TO SHOW UP. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT IS ALSO ON & I WAS TOLD THAT IT REQUIRES A SENSOR - NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY - THAT WILL COST OVER $300. I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE JERKING AND SLIPPING GEARS ON ACCELERATION. IT WOULD ALSO STICK IN NEUTRAL OR NOT CHANGE GEARS AND HESITATE TO THE POINT OF MOVING VERY SLOWLY. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS AN OXYGEN SENSOR WHICH COST ME OVER $300 TO REPLACE. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM ONCE SINCE. THE STRUTS - FRONT AND BACK - ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS A $1200 REPAIR BECAUSE THEY ARE LEAKING. CURRENTLY BOTH FRONT DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO OPEN THE WINDOWS TO OPEN THE DOORS. I HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED ONCE BEFORE UNDER RECALL, BUT NOW IT WILL COST OVER $200 A PIECE TO REPLACE. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THERE WAS A LIGHT TO INDICATE THAT THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WERE WORKING UNTIL IT JUST APPEARED ONE DAY. THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS INDICATOR WON'T STAY ON - IT COMES ON, THEN GOES BACK OFF. I THINK SUZUKI NEEDS TO MAKE GOOD ON THESE CARS BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA STATION WAGON, ON FEBRUARY 25, 2006 I HAD AN ACCIDENT WHICH SOMEONE RAN INTO MY CAR AND I CRASHED THE CAR/THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I THINK THERE IS A DEFECT IN MY BRAND NEW CAR. I THINK THE AIR BAGS OR AT LEAST THE ONE ON THE DRIVER SIDE SHOULD OF DEPLOYED- THAT IS MY COMPLAINT. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF ONCE ON THE INTERSTATE AND ON THREE OTHER OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING LOW SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WOULD IMPROPERLY SHIFT AND REV WITHOUT WARNING. THERE ARE NO RECALLS PERTAINING TO THIS FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 42,230 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7.

MY CAR WAS NEW WHEN I PURCHASED IT. WHEN I DROVE AT 60 MPH OR MORE THE CAR WOULD START VIBRATING. I HAVE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. THEY HAVE SAID LOW TIRE PRESSURE. THEY HAVE SAID THE RIM MIGHT BE BENT. THEY HAVE THE TIRES MAY NEED BALANCING. THEY HAVE SAID THE FRONT END MIGHT NEED TO BE LINED UP. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THIS CAR WAS NEW AND I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FROM DAY ONE. *TR

5 WEEKS INTO THE PURCHASE OF MY 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA IT MADE A LOUD NOISE SIMILAR TO A BAD EXHAUST. THEN IT STARTED TO STALL WHILE I WAS STOPPED. IT WOULD STALL DURING THE FIRST 10-15 MINUTES OF DRIVING THEN WOULD BE FINE. ON THE THIRD TIME IN SERVICE THEY DECIDED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE, FOR 2 WEEKS. SO FAR THE STALLING HAS NOT OCCURRED BUT THE NOISE HAS COME BACK. *JB

I HAVE PURCHASED A 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA. AS A CERTIFIED CRIME PREVENTION INSPECTOR, I HAVE DISCOVERED FEATURES OF THIS VEHICLE THAT WILL PROVE TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ANY DRIVER/OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. THE LOCKS ON THE VEHICLE DO NO OPERATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE CONTROLS ALL LOCKING DEVICES ON HIS/HER SIDE. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS THAT THE PASSENGER IF THE VEHICLE CANNOT OPEN HIS/HER DOOR IF IT IS LOCKED. THE DRIVER HAS TO OPEN THE DOOR. IN THE EVENT THAT THE DRIVER IS INCAPACITATED THE PASSENGER WOULD HAVE EXTREME DIFFICULTY GETTING OUT OF THE CAR. ALSO, WHEN THE DRIVER UNLOCKS THE DOOR ALL LOCKS OPEN. IN THE EVENT THAT THERE IS SOMEONE TRYING TO GAIN UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY INTO THE VEHICLE THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DO SO WITHOUT DIFFICULTY; PUTTING THE DRIVER IN EXTREME DANGER. THERE IS NO WAY FOR THE REAR SEATED PASSENGERS TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE DRIVER UNLOCKING THE DOOR. IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE A PASSENGER WOULD PERHAPS LITERALLY HAVE TO BREAK OUT A WINDOW TO EXIT. THIS WOULD TAKE TIME AND THE PASSENGER OR PASSENGERS MAY PERISH. THESE ARE EXTREME SAFETY CONCERNS WHICH I PRAY WILL BE INVESTIGATED! *NM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN INSPECTED BY THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THAT THERE WAS A PLUG UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT THAT WOULD NOT STAY CONNECTED. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE BY PLACING DUCT TAPE ON THE PLUG. AFTER A FEW DAYS OF THE TAPE WEARING OFF, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. IN ADDITION, THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD SHOW A BLACK LINE THROUGH THE D FOR DRIVE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT A CLINKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE AIR BAGS:ON AND OFF SWITCH ASSEMBLY WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. A LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN THE AIR BAGS WERE NOT WORKING. THE AIR BAG WILL TURNOFF WHEN HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED AT A DEALERSHIP. THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE SWITCH WERE ON ORDER. ALSO CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.*AK

I FACE THE HEAT ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS LIKE THE OTHER SUZUKI CARS OF SIMILAR MODELS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG AND ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE REPAIR CONSISTED OF APPLYING MECHANICAL TAPE TO THE FAULTY WIRING LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
