general problems of the 2006 Suzuki Forenza

Iba en mi vehiculo andando DE noche con las luces prendidas y derrepente se prendieron las luces altas sin que yo hciera nada desde ese momento pareciera que hiciera un corto la luz y se ponen altas y vuelven normal mientras voy conduciendo adicional la parte del tablero se esta recalentando mucho no se si ES por la misma razon.

The vehicle is under a recall campaign (xa-xc) for drl module/ignition switch replacement. The owner is physically unable to get the vehicle to the nearest dealership for the repairs to be performed (he is prohibited by his physician to drive such long distances). Suzuki will not allow any other facility, no matter how well qualified, to perform the repairs. Suzuki offers no solution - like offering to tow the vehicle - aside from an offer to reimburse for fuel. I am a neighbor and can attest to the owner's physical limitations (he had a stroke). He is also elderly and from another country - so his comprehension of the issue is limited. He's worried the car isn't reliable enough for his daily trips to his doctor and voiced worry about his options to get it fixed. It is my hope the intervention of someone from the NHTSA might sway Suzuki to offer a variance from their policy - so they would offer to transport the vehicle to and from the nearest dealership for the repairs to be completed (since I was told a dealer must be the ones performing the repair).
