SUSPENSION
I BROUGHT A BRAND NEW 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA IN 2007 AND SINCE THEN HAVE HAD PROBLEMS EVER SINCE. IN THE FIRST WEEK I BROUGHT IT THE TIMING BELT HAD BROKE. SOON AFTER THE TRANSMISSION MESSED UP AND WAS TOLD THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THANKS TO MY EXTENDED VEHICLE WARRANTY (NOT BY SUZUKI) I WAS ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED WITHOUT PAYING OUT OF POCKET. NOW NOT EVEN TWO YEARS LATER I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE FRONT STRUT MOUNT AND STRUTS ARE GOING BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED (ESTIMATED AT $687.00). IN ADDITION TO THAT ALL FOUR OF MY DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN AND HAVE BEEN FOR SOME TIME AFTER BREAKING OFF WITH A SIMPLE TOUCH. WITH THE PAINT CHIPPING OFF ON THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES AS WELL. I HAVE NO MONEY TO PAY FOR ALL THE REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE AS I HAVE BEEN PAYING IT ON FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS AND IT IS ALMOST PAID FOR BUT I CANNOT CONTINUE TO ENDURE COUNTLESS REPAIRS I AM HAVING TO GO THROUGH WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. I DO NOT GO ANYWAY EXCEPT FROM WORK TO HOME IN MY CAR AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I AM HAVING ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS WHEN THE CAR WAS SUPPOSE TO BE BRAND NEW WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR EVEN AS SIMPLE AS GOING TO THE STORE BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SUZUKI AGAIN. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN 2/ 2009. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT INTO THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRANSMISSION, ULTIMATELY LEADING TO A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT ON 7/17/12. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 14 TIMES FROM 7/24/10 UNTIL THE PRESENT MOST OF WHICH INCLUDED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT/AND OR THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, STILL TODAY MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP BECAUSE IT WON'T REVERSE. THE ACCIDENT THAT OCCURRED ON 12/24/2012 COULD HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN AVOIDED HAD I BEEN ABLE TO REVERSE BECAUSE AS THE CAR APPROACHED ME I ATTEMPTED TO REVERSE WHEN IT FAILED. *TR
