| 2001 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | CONSUMER STATES, WHILE DRIVING ON NORMAL CONDITIONS APPLIED THE BRAKES, ALWAYS LOCK UP. DEALER HAS NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. TS |
| 2007 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | AFTER NOTICING THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WHICH MONITORS INFLATORS, CRASH SENSORS, SEAT BELT PRETENSION, THE FRONT PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM, AND CORRESPONDING ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS STAYED ON AFTER STARTING THE CAR, I TOOK IT TO THE SUZUKI DEALER. AFTER THEY INSPECTED IT, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A SENSOR IN THE DRIVER SEAT. HE TOLD ME ME THAT THE SENSOR WAS INSIDE THE DRIVERS SEAT AND THAT THE DRIVERS SEAT WITH THE SENSOR INSIDE WOULD COST $1,984.42 PLUS LABOR. I CONTACTED THE SUZUKI MAIN OFFICES IN BREA, CA WHO OFFERED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY AT A COST TO ME FOR A TOTAL OF $300. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD PAY FOR THAT SINCE IT IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND THE DIFFERENCES IN PRICE BETWEEN THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER MEANS THAT THEY OWN THE RESPONSIBILITY. I AM NOW DRIVING WITH THE SENSOR LIGHT ON AND THE AIRBAG MAY OR MAY NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE OF THIS. 06/ |
