“I bought a 2005 Suzuki Forenza in the winter of 2006. The car was sold to me with no rear defroster system so that winter I had to go through the snow with a completely blind rear view and was inconvenienced into returning it for repair. The beginning of 2008 is when the check engine light came on a week before my state inspection and I had to get an oxygen sensor replaced. Two weeks later, the tread came off my front tires (2 years old mind you) and I had to replace those. In may of 2008, the battery in the car died and that had to be replaced. …”

“Dt: 2005 suzukie Forenza wagon. While on a trip to virigina it was raining and windshield wipers only worked on their minimum speed, and their maximum speed was not fast enough to be efficient.
