| 2006 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | EARLIER TODAY, 6 MAY 2011, MY MOTHER WAS BEGINNING TO DRIVE OUT OF THE BANK DRIVE-THRU WINDOW WHEN HER VEHICLE TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN UNTIL SHE WAS ABLE TO CRASH IT AGAINST A WALL TO AVOID IMPACTING OTHER CARS AND PEOPLE THAT WERE IN THE AREA. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT FOR THIS VEHICLE, A FEW MONTHS AGO, AGAIN JUST BEGINNING TO MOVE, SPED OUT OF CONTROL IMPACTING THE NEIGHBORS HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL SUZUKI DEALER FOR A MECHANICAL EVALUATION, BUT NOTHING UNUSUAL WAS FOUND. THAT SAME SUZUKI DEALER HAS BEEN THE ONLY PLACE WHERE SERVICES HAVE BEEN PERFORMED ON THAT SUV AND I DON'T BUY FOR A SECOND THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY AFTER A SECOND INCIDENT. *TR |
| 2005 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT CONTROLLER | MY WIFE HAD JUST STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AFTER PUTTING THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION AND WALKED INSIDE TO GRAB SOMETHING FROM HER PARENT'S HOUSE. WHEN SHE RETURNED THE DOORS HAD AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED HER OUT, SHE HAD TO CALL A FRIEND TO BRING AN EXTRA KEY. LUCKILY SHE DIDN'T HAVE OUR DAUGHTER WITH HER OR SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN LOCKED INSIDE. WE JUST FIGURED IT WAS AN AUTOMATIC ANTI-THEFT PROGRAM, BUT DIDN'T REALIZE OTHERS WERE HAVING PROBLEMS. FROM NOW ON, WE JUST MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE KEYS ON US, OR ROLL THE WINDOW IF THE VEHICLE IS STILL RUNNING WHEN YOU STEP OUT OF IT EVEN JUST FOR A SECOND. *NM |
