What owners report
BEEN TRYING TO GET MY REPAIRS ON MY CAR SINCE JUNE OF 2020 AND WAS JUST RECENTLY TOLD THAT I COULD NOT GET MY CAR REPAIRED DUE TO SUZUKI CLOSING DOWN I CAN NOT GET MY TAGS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE THE RECALLS HAS TO BE FIXED
THE AIRBAG DEFECT WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING OR THE CAR BEING ON. SUZUKI DEPOT IN SANT ANA CA REPLACED THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION DUE TO A MANUFACTURER RECALL. THE AIRBAG LIGHT FOR THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT SOON ACTIVATED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL SHOP. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE CODE C1312 WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT RECALL CODE BY SUZUKI CORP. THEY DIDN'T TOUGH THE SEAT. I CALLED SUZUKI DEPOT WHO CALLED SUZUKI TO DETERMINE THE NEXT STEP. SUZUKI HAS NOT FIXED THE AIRBAG LIGHT OR WHAT'S CAUSING IT TO REMAIN LIT. THIS IS AN IMMEDIATE PASSENGER SAFETY ISSUE AND IN MY OPINION SHOULD BE RESOLVED AND FIXED RIGHT AWAY.
I WAS DRIVING AND STOP ON A RED LIGHT I HEARD A LOUD NOISE FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE SO PUT MY CAR ON PARKING THE LIGHT CHANGE SO I SHIFT TO DRIVE AND THE VEHICLE STAY (NEUTRAL) NO MATTER WHAT GEAR IT IS THE CAR STAY NEUTRAL . SO I STAY ON THE CAR BECAUSE THE WAS LOT OF TRAFFIC THANKS GOD A COP STOP TO HELP ME TO PUSH THE VEHICLE . I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A SHOP NO ONE KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.
2011 SUZUKI KIZASHI SPORT SLS. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SAFETY AND EMISSIONS RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS UNABLE TO HELP LOCATE A LOCAL DEALER TO COMPLETE THE RECALL. *JS
UNDIAGNOSEABLE OVERHEATING. WHEN RUNNING THE AIR CONDITIONER FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME (I.E. ROAD TRIP, LESS THAN 90 MINUTES) THE AIR CONDITIONING STOPS WORKING AND THE COOLANT BLOWS OUT OF THE OVERFLOW TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. WE'VE REPLACED THE RADIATOR TWICE, 3 DIFFERENT THERMOSTATS AND I'VE HAD THE HEAD MACHINED AND CHECKED FOR LEAKS, THE HEAD GASKET AND ALL ASSOCIATED GASKETS WITH THAT JOB REPLACED AND STILL CANNOT DRIVE WITHOUT COOLANT SPEWING FROM THE OVERFLOW AND EVENTUALLY CAUSING A RISE IN TEMP ON THE DASH GAUGE. DATE OF OCCURANCE BELOW IS AN ESTIMATE, I'VE BEEN FIGHTING THIS CAR FOR SO LONG I HAVE NO IDEA THE FIRST TIME THE ISSUE AROSE.
