Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara recalled approx. Oct. 2013. Suzuki sent a letter saying that parts were not available and would fix when available. It's been 6 months. How long is it supposed to take to manufacture these parts? Did their parts suppliers go bankrupt also? Dealer now sells another brand and doesn't seem to know (or care) anything about when this will be fixed.”
