| 2005 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | DT: 2005 SUZUKI RENO. THE CONSUMER BOUGHT THE CAR IN DECEMBER 2004 AS NEW VEHICLE. THE GAS MILEAGE WAS GETTING LOWER AND LOWER. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD HER THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO FIX THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS WRONG WITH VEHICLE. UPON FIRST PURCHASING THE CAR CONSUMER WAS GETTING 230 MILES TO THE TANK. CURRENTLY , WAS ONLY GETTING AROUND 10 MILES TO A TANK. HAD NOT TAKEN VEHICLE TO ANY OTHER DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. .*AK THE VEHICLE TIRE HAD TO BE CHANGED AT 18000 MILE BECAUSE THE METAL STARTED SHOWING. *NM |
| 2008 | AIR BAGS | MY 2008 SUZUKI RENO HAS OVER 100,000 MILES AND I FIRST EXPERIENCED SYMPTOMS SOMETIME IN JUNE 2010 ONLY A YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT IT. AT FIRST IT WAS JUST THAT THE CAR SEEMED TO HAVE TROUBLE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP (LIKE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT) AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER THAT THE SYMPTOMS GOT INCREASINGLY WORSE. IT WOULD INTIALLY HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS LISTED ABOVE, THEN IT WOULD GET BETTER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD TURN OFF. THEN I STARTED GETTING THE PERIODIC CLUNK AND SCRAMBLED GEAR DISPLAY LIKE ALL THE GEARS WITH A LINE THRU IT ON THE DASH. I TOLD MY HUSBAND WHO CAN WORK ON OLDER MODEL CARS AND HE DROVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK WITH NO PROBLEM, THEN HE WAS IN THE CAR WITH MY GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND IT DID IT AND ALMOST MADE THE CAR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FROM ALMOST 70MPH WITH VEHICLES BEHIND US. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I GOT IT AND THEY SAID THAT IF THE LIGHT WASN'T STAYING ON ALL THE TIME, THEN THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DO BUT THAT IT DIDN'T SOUND LIKE IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH MY 2008 RENO SINCE IT REACHED 70,000 MILES. I'VE KEPT UP ON MY MAINTENANCE. ALSO BOTH OF MY AIRBAG LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME, THE PASSENGER LIGHT STAYS ON AS IF NO ONE IS SITTING IN IT EVEN WITH A 200 POUND PERSON SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE CAR HASN'T BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS TO MAKE THEM NOT READ RIGHT. *TR |
