general problems of the 2007 Suzuki Forenza

Head lights stay on running battery down. Called Suzuki regarding posted, may 2014 for day light running light issues and they haven't decided recall/repairs, that I would recieve a letter if recall is issued. Constantly have to have assistance to jump the battery.

On 11/11/2013 my car was parked in my driveway and caught fire (electrical) this is one of the recalls on this vehicle,(certain passenger vehicles, headlamp low beam or daytime running light (drl) function may be inoperative due to a melted splice pack on the wiring harness). I have had these problems with my vehicle the headlamp low beam and the daytime running light, would not turn on or off.

Headlamp just stopped working . I changed the relay then the fuse and also the light itself still not working I know there was a eall on the model of the year before, I can only assume that they used those parts for my car. .

After my daytime running lights stayed on all night, my battery died and I had to have the engine jumped. I went along with my day, parked my car at the bus lot and went to work. After returning to the car, I smelled smoke. When I tried to pop my hood, I noticed the interior paneling under my steering wheel was black and melted. The hood would not pop open because the release lever was also melted. There was smoke damage on my windshield near the air/defrost vents and on anything sitting in my car. Lucky for me, I was not in the car when the fire occured and it was in a parking lot where no one was around to get injured. After having the transmission sensor replaced on the car 4 times before they replaced the entire transmission, I've realized there were electrical problems with this car long before the fire occurred. Many others have complained about a fire in this exactly make/model/year car. Suzuki should be ashamed for making such terrible cars and filing for bankruptcy right before the problem occurs so there is nothing to be done/no accountability.

Dash lights went out in car. Checked fuse and no bad fuse. Went to drive the car and then noticed had no break lights, head lights, and windows did not roll down. I had high beams if I wanted to drive it while holding the light switch for the high beams. Had all fuses checked, and was then told it was in the wiring!!! car had been in the shop before for transmission range sensors. It seems to be one issue after another with this car all of a sudden. Tire pressure light come on for a few days then goes out for a few, and that is with new tires. Not very happy with this car at all. .
