“I own a 2004 Suzuki Forenza and this car is a constant problem. It over heats everyone I drive it which is daily. It starts only when the motor is somewhat cool. This cat has left me stranded many times. Like at the moment the car has over heated and I'm pulled off the side of hwy 26 heading to portland. I have taken this cat to my mechanic several times and upon its return within days the car is doing the same thing. The steering is a mess. The car is all over the road I've taken it to lesschwab 4 times gotten two alignments within a 2 month period and still car doesn't drive right. …”
