Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The consumer experienced the same problem as stated in recall 04v427000. The consumer contacted the Suzuki corporation, and was told that he was a part of the recall. Then, Suzuki turned around, and told the consumer that he was not a part of the recall. The consumer felt that being exclude from the recall was unfair and that the only difference was that the recall was for the 6 cylinder and not the 4 cylinder.”
NHTSA complaint #10098924, filed 2004-11“Bumpy/vibration felt at 35+ MPH, smooths out to some degree above 45 until you reach 60+. Vibration above 60 feels as if you may not have steering control. A/c control lever does not open/close completely. A/c froze under dash on passenger side, would not cool, water discharged into floor board. Does not adequately cool interior in direct sun with tempts. Above 85. Gear shifter sometimes (sporadic) jams - problem appears to deal with 2nd gear (sometimes 1st to 2nd or 3rd to 2nd). When it jams it feels as if something is hitting rubber (no noise) and you have to force shifter into place. …”
