Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)THE CAR HAS LOW MILEAGE. FIRST THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WENT OUT. WE CALLED SUZUKI TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL, THEY SAID NO. WE HAD TO SEARCH FOR A PART AND FINALLY HAD IT REPLACED AT GREAT COST. NOW A FEW MONTHS LATTER THIS HAPPENS. THE PASSANGER AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. CALLED TOYOTA DEALER. HE SAID IT IS PROBABLY JUST A BAD MSG, HAPPENS IN HAWAII ALL THE TIME, SO WE CONTINUED DRIVING IT. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON JAN 6, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ISLAND OF HAWAII, AS WE TURNED LEFT ONTO THE MAIN HIGHWAY HEAR OCEANVIEW, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. THE CAR LOST POWER STEERING BUT WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT TO A SAFE PLACE. WE COULD NOT SHUT THE ENGINE OFF UNTIL ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. WHILE THEY WERE TESTING THE CAR, IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TESTING AND THEY COULDN'T RESTART IT. IT HAD 12 - 15 CODES THAT THEY HAD TO CLEAR. THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME BACK AND COULD NOT BE CLEARED. NOW ONE WEEK LATER THE CAR IS STILL NOT FIXED AS THERE ARE NO "AIR BAG CONTROL MODULES" AVAILABLE IN HAWAII. IT WILL TAKE 2-4 WEEKS TO GET ONE. WE ARE HAVING TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR. WE ONLY HAVE 37,000 MILES!

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN A LEVEL COUNTRY ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH IN LIGHT RAIN, DURING THE DAY, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED. THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT DID ILLUMINATE IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER. I PULLED OVER, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND POWER STEERING WAS RESTORED. ABOUT 1 YEAR LATER WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT IN THE CITY DURING DRY WEATHER AT NIGHT, AT ABOUT 30MPH THE CAR AGAIN SUDDENLY LOST POWER STEERING, THE POWER STEERING FAILURE WARNING LIGHT DID ILLUMINATE. I AGAIN PULLED OVER, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. I TURNED IT ON AGAIN AND POWER STEERING WAS RESTORED. I'VE HAD NO OTHER ISSUES WITH THE STEERING. I DID CHECK AN ONLINE FORUM FOR KIZASHI 'S WITH POWER STEERING FAILURE AND FOUND ANOTHER PERSON WHO HAD A SIMILAR SUDDEN POWER STEERING FAILURE. UNKNOWN, NO ANSWERS OR EXPLANATIONS FOR THE SUDDEN POWER STEERING FAILURE HAVE BEEN FOUND TO MY KNOWLEDGE. I HAVE NO DOCUMENTATION REGARDING THIS COMPLAINT.
