general problems of the 2007 Suzuki Forenza

Passenger door handles broke at the base of the handle. Son tried to open the back door (behind driver) and the handle broke off in his hand. The front passenger side door handle has a crack in it from the top to the bottom of the handle. I expect it to break any day. Back right passenger lock does not respond to "unlock" button when it is pushed. All others rise, this one stays down.

The items that are faulty on this 2007 Suzuki Forenza are the paint on the outside door handles, and the inside door latches. I bought this 2007 Suzuki Forenza car brand new and within one (1) year, I had to replace 2 of my door handle latches inside because they broke off. Not long after that, my other two latches broke. In the 1st year, the paint on the door handles began to wear off. When I first had my door repaired, I was told by the Suzuki repair shop representative, that the breaking latches was a common complaint with this particular model .

Whenever the car is driven. . Other parts of the dash get warm. . These listed parts get hotter, this condition is frightening!. . Sometimes there is an associated electrical type odor! the cd player cannot be used, the cd's get too hot to handle. The dealer has experienced this problem & the manufacturer has also. . They both refuse to correct it.
