NHTSA complaint #10552164, filed 2013-11, 46,000 miles“Headlights won't turn off. While driving on the expressway black smoke blew in my face. Electrical wires were on fire. I was able to pull over and get out without getting hit by the fast cars going by. Called 911 the fire department came put out the fire.”
NHTSA complaint #10474588, filed 2012-09, 76,000 miles“Headlamp just stopped working . I changed the relay then the fuse and also the light itself still not working I know there was a eall on the model of the year before, I can only assume that they used those parts for my car..”
NHTSA complaint #10552671, filed 2013-11, 54,000 miles“After my daytime running lights stayed on all night, my battery died and I had to have the engine jumped. I went along with my day, parked my car at the bus lot and went to work. After returning to the car, I smelled smoke. When I tried to pop my hood, I noticed the interior paneling under my steering wheel was black and melted. The hood would not pop open because the release lever was also melted. There was smoke damage on my windshield near the air/defrost vents and on anything sitting in my car. …”
NHTSA complaint #10544607, filed 2013-09, 84,000 miles“My check engine light came on after I placed the car in reverse, it gave a big thunk sound. I turned the car off and restarted it. The check engine light is still on. When I went to the dealership to get a diagnosis and they said it was a transmission range sensor gone bad! $250 to replace. As you can see that there are a lot of customer complaints on the same issue but no recall. I have already had the brake light sensor replaced earlier this year and a power steering pump! Not liking Suzuki right now!”
