| 2005 | AIR BAGS | THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO SUZUKI SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY WERE NEVER ABLE TO REPAIR IT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON SUZUKI RENOS AND FORENZAS (RENO AND FORENZA ARE THE HATCHBACK AND SEDAN VERSIONS OF THE SAME CAR). THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, BUT SUZUKI SEEMS INCAPABLE OF FIXING THE PROBLEM. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT BEING ON ALL THE TIME MEANS THE AIRBAG WILL EITHER NOT DEPLOY WHEN IT SHOULD, WHICH COULD LEAD TO DEATH OR INJURY OR COULD DEPLOY WHEN IT SHOULDN'T WHICH COULD ALSO LEAD TO DEATH OR INJURY. THIS NEEDS TO BE MADE FROM A TSB INTO A NON VOLUNTARY RE-CALL FOR SUZUKI, BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED AS A RESULT OF THE DEFECT. *TR |
| 2008 | POWER TRAIN | DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING 50 MPHS THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON LOSES ALL POWER GOES INTO LUMP HOME MODE. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. 3 MONTHS LATER LIGHT COMES BACK ON TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THIS TIME IT IS THE SAME THING THEY DID A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND REPLACED THE SENSOR AGAIN. 3 MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN THIS TIME ITS THE THROTTLE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. IT KEEPS DOING THE SAME THING EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. EXPENSIVE FIX EVERYTIME. I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IT DOESN'T HELP. *TR |
