2005 Suzuki Forenza

HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY 2005 SUZUKI FORENZA AND WAS WONDERING IF YOUR SITE COULD ASSIST ME. I TOOK IT BACK FOR NUMEROUS OCCASIONS FOR AIR BAG SENSOR,HEADLIGHT FAILURE,KEY NOT BEING ABLE TO COME OUT OF IGNITION,AND UNABLE TO MOVE GEARSHIFT OUT OF PARK WITHOUT PUTTING A KEY IN CONSOLE GEARSHIFT.DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME FOR LABOR. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND I NEED ADVISE ON WHAT I SHOULD DO.THEY DON'T WANT TO LET ME TRADE IT IN WITHOUT $3,000. I THINK ITS WRONG TO DO SOMETHING LIKE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE.I HAVE TO DRIVE 60 MILES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND GAS IS THREE DOLLARS A GALLON.I'M FED UP AND ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE APPRECIATED THANK YOU ANGELA YOUNG

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SERVICE DEALER WHO PERFORMED DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHICH WAS CONNECTED TO A SCANNER TO RETRIEVE CODES; B1382, PASS SIDE INJ. AND RESET TO 0 HIGH. THERE WERE UNKNOWN REPAIRS PERFORMED AT THE DEALER HOWEVER, THE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ANOTHER SERVICE DEALERSHIP. THE SECOND DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE RESISTANCE WAS TOO HIGH. THE TERMINALS WERE CLEANED AND THE CABLE TIES UNDER THE SEATS WERE REMOVED. AFTER THE SECOND REPAIR, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. WHEN THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED, THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER SERVICE DEALER. THE THIRD DEALER IMPLEMENTED A TEMPORARY REPAIR REMEDY, WHICH WAS UNKNOWN. AFTER THE THIRD REPAIR, THE AIR BAG REMAINED OFF.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONTAL AND SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY FOR BOTH FRONT SEATS WHEN INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 10 MPH, IT WAS STRUCK ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND DRY. THERE WERE TWO PERSONS INJURED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HEAD, NECK, CHEST AND BACK. THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK, KNEE AND STOMACH INJURIES. BOTH WORE SEAT BELTS AND WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND AND PICTURES WERE TAKEN.

SUZUKI AUTOMOTIVE OF CERRITOS AND SANTA ANA HAVE FAILED TO TIMELY REPAIR AND/OR INSTALL DAMAGED/DEFECTIVE PARTS ON MY 2005 FORENZA. DEFECTIVE/DAMAGED PARTS INCLUDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES, AIR BAG HARNESS/WIRING, AC KNOBS, STEREO BUTTONS ATTACHED TO STEERING WHEEL. FURTHER, SUZUKI HAS FAILED TO PROPERLY CORRESPOND WITH ME CONCERNING THESE ISSUES. MOST CONTACTS WERE INITIATED BY ME. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES. TODAY WILL BE THE FOURTH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE LIGHT IS RESET, BUT THE LIGHT CONTINUES TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT IS CONCERNED THE AIR BAGS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

HAVE A 2005 SUZUKI FORENZA. BOUGHT IT JUNE OF 2005. FOR THE TIME THAT I HAD THE CAR IT HAD LITTLE PROBLEMS AT TIMES. BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 5 MILES ON IT. SUZUKI DEALERSHIPS ONLY LOOK AT YOUR CAR BY APPOINTMENT ONLY AND WHEN THEY DO LOOK AT IT THEY CLAIM NOTHING WAS FOUND. THE CAR HESITATES AND DOWNSHIFTS HARD AT TIMES. IN THE MORNING THE CAR HAS HARD STARTS WHEN COLD. THE EXHAUST MAKES NOISE AND TRANSMISSION DOES TOO. THE CLAIMS ARE THAT IT IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THAT CAR AND NORMAL. RECENTLY I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A TRUCK AT AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE THE CAR STALLED WHILE TRYING TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION FROM A STOP SIGN. THE GAS PEDAL HAD TO BE PRESSED TO THE FLOOR TO MOVE AND IT DID IT SLOWLY. FROM A STOP THE ENGINE WOULD REV BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. ALSO AIRBAG LIGHT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. SUZUKI MAKES IT HARD TO HAVE YOUR CAR SERVICE AND CLAIM WARRANTY WORK. THAT INCLUDES ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TOO. WHEN CAR WAS DELIVERED BACK TO ME AFTER I DROPPED IT OFF THEY CLAIM THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND. MAYBE IT WAS THE GAS CAP THEY SAID. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS TOO MUCH TOO BE A LOOSE GAS CAP. I HAD TO GET UPSET FOR THEM TO LOOK AT MY CAR. MANY PROBLEMS FOR A NEW CAR. *JB
