I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY HUSBAND AND HE TOLD ME TO TRY TURNING THE VEHICLE ON THAN OFF AGAIN BUT TO NO AVAIL. HE INSTRUCTED ME TO GET HOME AS SOON AS I CAN SO HE COULD REMOVE THE DRL AND GO ON-LINE TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER FURTHER. THE FOLLOWING WEEK WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM SUZUKI MOTOR OF AMERICA. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL DEALERS IN OUR AREA WITH NEGATIVE RESPONSE. WE CANNOT DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT VERY FRUSTRATING. *TR

SINCE THE PURCHASE, MY FLAT TIRE INDICATOR LIGHTS. THE FRONT DRIVERS TIRE AND REAR PASSENGER TIRES NEED AIR ABOUT EVERY TWO WEEKS. ABOUT 1 YEAR AFTER PURCHASE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS, PASSENGER SIDE REAR LIGHTS WENT OUT. AFTER REPLACING FUSES AND BULBS THERE IS STILL NO LIGHT.

Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2004-2008 Forenza vehicles, and 2005-2008 Reno vehicles manufactured from September 1, 2003, through July 30, 2008. In the affected vehicles, heat may be generated in the headlamp switch or daytime running light (DRL) module which could melt the headlamp switch or the DRL module.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the heat generated within the headlamp switch or DRL module located on the left side of the steering column melts the headlamp switch or DRL module, there is an increased risk of a fire.
Remedy: Suzuki will replace the signal switch and add a jumper relay kit and will replace the DRL Module in teh instrument panel harness. Suzuki distributed to owners an interim letter on July 30, 2014. The recall began October 29, 2014. Owners may contact Suzuki at 1-800-934-0934. Suzuki's number for this recall is XA.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE FRONT SEAT BELT TONGUE WILL NOT LATCH INTO THE BUCKLE AND, IN RARE CASES, EVEN THE LOCKED TONGUE WILL POP OUT BY LOW STRETCHING FORCE. IF THE BUCKLE DOES NOT LATCH COMPLETELY, THE BUCKLE COULD RELEASE WITHOUT PRESSING THE RELEASE BUTTON.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THESE BUCKLE MALFUNCTIONS, WHICH COULD PREVENT A PERSON FROM USING THE SEAT BELT OR COULD CAUSE THE SEAT BELT TO FAIL TO FUNCTION AS DESIGNED, CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT BUCKLES WITH THE IMPROVED PART FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 31, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SUZUKI AT 1-800-934-0934.
