1 Suspension Noise problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2006

Suzuki has never sent me a recall notice: 2016 explanation- they are only going by each state's vehicle owner recorded address. I/ my car have had the same listed address since purchase. Suzuki on nihtsa shows 4 recalls; Forenza engine wiring harness is not there. What else is missing? original Forenza owner, under 47,000 miles. Repeatedly, warning lites came on with overheat. Oct. 2006 engine stalled at 35mph in intersection; with multiple complaints Suzuki, aware of ewh failure, fails to do a foenza engine wiring harness recall. I see the same symptom complaints by other Forenza owners. Took 3 car stallings before diagnosis made & engine wiring harness replaced. From oct. 2006 complained of "old car creaking/ruff suspension" noises/bouncing going over any speed bumps or rolling streets. Suzuki replaced some damaged bushings but noises/bad suspension returned; I continued complaints to the dealer and Suzuki, & paid for several wheel allignments. Without informing me, Suzuki the dealer mechanic, again checking on my complaint, notes "cracked struts" about 1 month after my 3yr full waranty expired. 2012, I learned of the "old car symptom" suspension damage from a non-Suzuki mechanic reviewing the car repair history. There is now a suspension system corrosion faiure recall for 2006 vitaras but not Forenzas; same year vitara and Forenza problems seem associated issues. 2006, Suzuki recalls for overheat/fire ignition from headlights/electrical swtichs are 2 of 4 recalls listed with nihtsa. 2007-2015, I complained to Suzuki of the same symptoms (multiple failed batteries, electrical burning odors, light shorts. . . ) Suzuki describes as high priority for repair of headlight/electrical switch. Me, unaware of recalls, Suzuki denied any responsibility!! my a/c air system, radio, and rarely used driver window shorted after episodes of battery failures in 45mph city traffic.
