2012 Suzuki SX4

I WAS NOTIFIED OF A SECOND RECALL (18V-804) OF THE POWER STEERING AT THE END OF 2018 STATING THAT THE POWER STEERING MAY GO OUT UNDER REALLY COLD CONDITIONS. I LIVE IN MINNESOTA, THERE IS NO WAY TO AVOID THE COLD! MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON JANUARY 18, 2019. I COULD NO LONGER HOLD OUT AND GOT SOMETHING FIXED ON IT BUT IT HAS GONE OUT AGAIN. OUR MECHANIC IS NOW TELLING ME IT IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING FLUID HAS LEAKED ALL OVER AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE. SUZUKI HAS YET TO SEND ANY NEW INFORMATION AND IS USELESS WHEN I CALL THEM (TODAY THE PHONE JUST KEPT RINGING WHEN I TRIED).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 SUZUKI SX4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE STEERING LOST POWER. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V587000 (STEERING); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 SUZUKI SX4. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE RPMS INCREASED AND THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY REACH 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SUBARU OF WICHITA (11610 E KELLOGG DR N, WICHITA, KS 67207, (316) 264-7777) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED; HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS NOT READING THE COMPUTER INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER PERFORMED AN OIL CHANGE ON THE VEHICLE SEVEN DAYS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY IN THE DEALER'S POSSESSION AND HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AGAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 168,806.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 SUZUKI SX4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER WERE STRUCTURALLY UNSOUND AND MOVED OUT OF POSITION. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CORRECT INFORMATION ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THERE WAS AN INTERNAL SHORT OR FRACTURE. THREE DEALERS WERE CONTACTED: ADVANTAGE SUZUKI (760 CENTRAL AVE, ALBANY, NY 12206, (518) 482-0500, (WHICH IS PERMANENTLY CLOSED AND NOW GOES BY DESTINATION KIA, (518) 478-8036)), LINCOLN OF WAYNE (1910 NJ-23, WAYNE, NJ 07470, (973) 696-9700), AND MILFORD SUZUKI (500 6TH ST, MILFORD, PA 18337, (570) 296-2636). ALL THREE DEALERS INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED AND THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS TEST DRIVEN BY AN INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED MECHANIC (MIKES AUTO CARE, 6 WEST MAIN STREET EXTENSION, GOSHEN, NY 10924, (845) 294-8284). THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF A FAILURE COULD OCCUR DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER AND WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,036.

THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT SENSOR HAS FAILED TO REGISTER A PASSENGER AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE COMPUTER. THIS WILL CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO NOT DEPLOY AND CAN SERIOUSLY INJURE THE PASSENGER. SUZUKI WAS NOTIFIED AND REFUSES TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. INSTEAD THEY WANT OVER $2000 FOR A NEW SEAT. YEARS 2007 - 2011 HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND WAS RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME THING. PLEASE MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE AND DO A RECALL FOR THIS.

HELLO THE PASSAGER AIR BAG FAIL THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ONE ON MY CAR BUT A FEW OF MY FRIENDS RECEIVED THERE RECALL ON THERE SX4 2012 WHY DID NOT I RECEIVE MINE ? THIS IS A MATTER OF LIFE OR INJURY DEALERSHIP SAID SUZUKI SHOULD REPLACE BUT SUZUKI REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING. DEALERSHIP RAN THE HARD CODE AND THE PASSAGER SEAT MUST BE REPLACED
