2006 Suzuki Aerio Brakes Problems

“Emergency brake light began coming on randomly from time to time. It then began to come on when I started the vehicle and will stay on while backing out and then turn off when vehicle is placed in drive, then began to light up when I used the brakes, and at other times when driving down the road it will come on for several minutes then go away only to come back on.... Brake fluid fine, brakes have wear but within reason for a 06 with 45,000 miles..”

“Emergency brake light began coming on randomly from time to time. It then began to come on when I turned left, then began to light up when I used the brakes, then stayed on all the time. My brother and I both own 2006 aerios and both had the same problem at the same time. He took his to the dealership for what we thought would be warranty service. Turns out the brakes had worn out at 18,000 miles! He paid $200 to have his replaced. Being a former mechanic, I decided to sidestep the exorbitant cost of having a dealer replace my brakes planned to do the job myself. …”

“I took the car in to have the brakes checked at about 9,000 miles in may. There was a hot smell and a lot of brake dust around the rim and tires. The Suzuki dealer service dept. Said there was no problems just needed brake fluid added. At that time the pads were at half way. But this was dismissed. On august 3rd I began to hear squealing especially when I would put the car in reverse. I took it in to another tire place to have the tire repaired, the men said the brakes sounded bad. There was no indication that there was a brake problem other than the noise. …”

“2nd time replacing brakes, 35,000 miles on car, it still is new , 1 year old. Dealership refused to take responsibility, no recall being made. Have already contacted a lawyer in regard to this matter, showing all the other complaints that have been made about the same problem. Suzuki refused to take responsibility. There should be no reason whatsoever that I should be replacing the brakes on my car for a second time in 1 year. What is it going to take for someone from Suzuki to get off their backs and do something about this problem? …”

“I bought this car back in feb. 2006 with only 1000 miles on it. By december of 2006, I began hearing squeaky noises and this loud annoying sound, when I took it to the dealership I was told that it needed brake pads already, only adding another 1000 miles within those few months. The brakes are special order and cost me 120.00. I had them put on because the dealership informed me even with my 10 year 100,000 mile warranty, brakes are not covered under it! Well in july 2007, the same noise again, I said no wy it couldn't be the brakes, sure enough again the brakes. …”
