Example complaints

“I have two issues, and have had these issues since buying the car about 3 years ago,when running the car cold the brakes do not depress the first time I brake, it takes alot of force to get the car to stop, if it is warmed up for 15 min or so it will not have the issue, but figures it should be addressed. My other issue is the headlights, they burn out constantly, I change then ever 2 or so months alternating between drivers side and passanger side.”
NHTSA complaint #10672371, filed 2015-01, 125,000 miles“Told Suzuki that brakes where no good they said that they seemed fine a week before. The car also would set the cruise control to engage at 0mph and go to 40rpm when I took my foot off brake. The dealer saw no problem. I was going into my driveway at 1mile per hour when the brakes entirely failed.”
