| 2007 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS | LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS KEEP BLOWING EVERY 2 MONTHS OR SO, BULB BRAND DOES NOT SEEM TO EFFECT LONGEVITY. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN THE BULBS BLOW AND YOU LIVE OUT IN THE COUNTY WHERE IT'S PITCH BLACK AT NIGHT!!! AND THEN HAVE TO SWITCH TO HIGH BEAMS AND BLIND OTHER DRIVERS!!! JUST TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO REPLACE THE BULBS. WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER SUZUKI AGAIN AND CAN'T WAIT TO AFFORD TO TRADE THIS DEATH TRAP OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUZUKI DEALER SAYS "IT IS NORMAL" *TT |
| 2010 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | EVERY MORNING I HEAD OFF TO WORK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD, I START THE VEHICLE, I PUT INTO DRIVE AS I ACCELERATE TO ABOUT 10 MILES I HEAR A RATTLING SOUND FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THIS SOUNDS HAPPENS EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS WARM ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, SUCH AS BEING AT A STOPLIGHT. I HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE REPAIR SHOP AT THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS THE HEAT SHIELD FOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I LEFT THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT, IN ORDER FOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO EXPERIENCE THE ANNOYING SOUND, WHEN THEY TEST DROVE IT THE FOLLOWING MORNING. HERE I AM ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS LATER WITH THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE IT IS SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS THAN A HEAT SHIELD. I HAVE SCHEDULED A SECOND APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE REPAIRED. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCH THE ISSUE ONLINE AND SEE THAT THIS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH SUZUKIS. *TR |
