“OK WHERE DO I BEGIN, I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 5 YRS., AND IT IS A PIECE OF CRAP. THE AIR CONDITIONER LEAKS WATER INSIDE THE CAR, I HAD IT BLOWN OUT AND IT DIDN'T HELP, THE POWER STEERING PUMP LEAKS, I DON'T HAVE ANY POWER STEERING, THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. I PAID 15,000 FOR THIS CAR, I FEEL ITS A LEMON, BUT CAN'T PROVE IT, CAUSE I DON'T HAVE RECEIPTS FROM THE LAST 12MONTHS. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. I'M JUST SICK OF IT, I KNOW I GOT RIPPED OFF. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SUZUKI. *TR”

“AS OTHERS HAVE RELATED THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT(S) HAS APPEARED ON MY CAR ALSO NOW. AS OTHERS HAVE WRITTEN THEIRS WAS MAINLY THE DRIVER SEAT SENSORS FAILING. THE MINOR DIFFERENCE OF MY ISSUE IS THAT BOTH SEATS AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO AWAY AT THE SAME TIME. THIS FACT DOES ADD UP TO THE SENSORS IN EACH SEAT FAILING AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME. SUZUKI REPAIR DEPARTMENTS ARE CLAIMING INDIVIDUAL SEAT SENSOR ISSUES. SOMETHING ELSE IS WRONG HERE AND THIS SHOULD BECOME A DEFECT INVESTIGATION BEFORE SOMEONE DIES DUE TO THE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING. *TR”
