| 2006 | ENGINE | THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON, AND I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE. IT SHOWED ONE O2 SENSOR WAS NOT GOOD. IT WAS REPLACED. AFTER ONE WEEK THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, AND ANOTHER SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, AND THE TEST SHOWED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS REPLACED. TWO MONTHS LATER THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, AND IT SHOWS THAT BOTH THE O2 SENSOR AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEED TO BE REPLACED. NONETHELESS, THE CAR PASSED THE EMISSIONS TEST, BUT THE LIGHT IS STILL ON, AND THE DIAGNOSTICS STILL READ THE SAME; THE O2 SENSOR AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE ACCELERATION NOW HAS PROBLEMS. SOMETIMES, THE CAR WILL HIT 3-4 RPM WHILE THE ACCELERATION IS AT 40 MPH AND WILL NOT GO HIGHER. SOMETIMES, I HAVE TO PULL OVER BECAUSE A "BURNING RUBBER SMELL" IS EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE AND COMES INTO THE CAR THROUGH THE VENTS. THE MILEAGE NOW IS ABOUT 96500. *TR |
| 2008 | AIR BAGS | I PURCHASED A NEW 2008 SUZUKI RENO FROM A DEALERSHIP IN TALLAHASSEE WHO IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. A MESSAGE APPEAR ON THE RIGHT SIDE (PASSAGE) THAT THE AIRBAG IS OFF. I BOUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT, IT WAS FINE. LATER I NOTICE A BALL POPPED UP ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND I LOOKED IN THE MANUAL IT STATED IT WAS MY AIRBAG. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER IN CALIFORNIA AND THEY ADVICE ME TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT IN OCALA FLORIDA. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DETECTED THAT BOTH AIRBAGS AND LIGHT WAS ON. THEY DETERMINED IT HAS INTERNAL FAULT CODE FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE AIRBAG MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT ROUGHLY COST $1,000.00. THEY REFUSED TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED. AND I ASKED WHAT IF SOMEONE GET INJURY WHILE RIDING IN THE CAR, AND SHE STATED IT WILL BE MY FAULT. I TOLD HER NO, BECAUSE IT WAS A DEFECT FROM THE BEGINNING. *TR |
