Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 SUZUKI SX4. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE RPMS INCREASED AND THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY REACH 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SUBARU OF WICHITA (11610 E KELLOGG DR N, WICHITA, KS 67207, (316) 264-7777) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED; HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS NOT READING THE COMPUTER INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER PERFORMED AN OIL CHANGE ON THE VEHICLE SEVEN DAYS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY IN THE DEALER'S POSSESSION AND HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AGAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 168,806.
RECALL FOR GEAR SHIFT LEVER REPLACED WITH DEFECTIVE GEAR SHIFT LEVER THAT CAN BE BUMPED INTO REVERSE WHILE IN DRIVE.
I HAD MY CAR REPAIRED IN A RECALL IN JAN 2015 (ITS CODE IS VL). AFTER ABOUT ONE MONTH I FOUND SOMETIMES IT WAS DIFFICULT TO MOVE THE STICK OUT OF PARK. IT WAS A RANDOM ISSUE SO I DIDN'T TAKE IT SERIOUS AT THAT TIME. RECENTLY THE ISSUE HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY. I CALLED SUZUKI CUSTOMER SERVICE ON MARCH 28, 2016 AND THEY TOLD ME TO HAVE THE CAR DIAGNOSED AT A LOCAL AUTHORIZED DEALER. I WENT TO THE DEALER ON THE SAME DAY. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE PART THAT WAS REPLACED IN THE RECALL IN JAN 2015 NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, BUT IT ALREADY PASSED THE WARRANTY WHICH IS ONE YEAR. I CALLED THE SUZUKI CUSTOMER SERVICE AGAIN AND THEY GAVE ME THE SAME ANSWER: THEY WARRANTY ON THAT PART ALREADY EXPIRED. I JUST FIND ON THE NATSA WEBSITE SUZUKI RELEASED A REVISED DOCUMENT (RCORRD-14V811-4872.PDF) ON FEB 18, 2015 SAYING THEY "HAVE RECEIVED REPORTS OF SHIFTING DIFFICULTY IN SOME SX4 VEHICLES AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED." AND THEY RELEASED A REVISED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (RCRIT-14V811-3386.PDF) ON FEB 27, 2015. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED IN JAN, 2015, AND AFTER THAT I DID NOT RECEVIE ANY NOTICE ABOUT THE REVISED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. I THINK THE CAR ISSUE I AM HAVING IS DUE TO THEY DID NOT FOLLOW THE REVISED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. AND I THINK SUZUKI SHOULD REPAIR IT AT NO CHARGE. THANKS
