January 2011 as I was driving on the highway the car lost all speed and then just stopped. I could not turn it over and once I got it to the shop they said the piston's went through the engine. They replaced the engine later in the month. June 2013 the same thing happened. Piston through the engine completely blown up and now they will not replace it because I am two months past my warranty. For some reason I thought there would be a warranty on the replaced engine. I bought this car brand new in 2006 and followed all the warranty repairs and maintenance.

I have had numerous issues with the range switch in my 2007 Suzuki Forenza. The first time at approximately 38k miles, and now again at approximately 70k miles. Each time I've had this fixed, it has cost me over $200. Suzuki customer service refuses to acknowledge this as a defect, and continues to take money from their clients who purchased faulty vehicles.

The contact owns a 2008 Suzuki Forenza. The contact stated that when driving at various speeds, the vehicle would exhibit an unusual jerking sensation and a misfire. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be inspected and they informed her that she would need to have the catalytic converter replaced. The dealer was unable to repair the failure because part in stock. This failure recurred on an intermittent basis. The catalytic converter was replaced prior to the failure. The vehicle was not further repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was approximately 42,400.

I bought my 2006 Suzuki Forenza brand new. The engine gave out on me in 2009. I replaced the engine once. Additional to the engine problems, one day while exiting from a major highway, the car just stopped going about 45 mph and started going about 10 mph, while a noticeable flashing square with a blinking line comes up on the gear indicator, on the dash. I almost caused an accident. I was told it was the transmission range sensor which I've now replaced two times. Note: brand new transmission range sensors were placed and still have the same issue. When I put it from park to drive (gear), the motor jerks and feels like the motor's going to fall off. The catalytic converter has also failed to pass inspection. The a/c gave out about 2 years from the time I bought it (brand new car). It's not a reliable car, at all. Once I fix something, something else breaks. Then the paint on the door handles is chipped off, I've had two door handles break on the interior, now I hear it has electrical problems under the dash. I haven't had this issue but not looking forward to it. It constantly drains my wallet, therefore the car has been sitting in the driveway pending repairs which might not be beneficial to continue making.

This is the 2nd time I have had issues with my car in regards to having to get the drive range sensor repaired; alot of Suzuki owners have also had this issue as well.

The contact owns a 2006 Suzuki Forenza. Whenever the contact depressed the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would not move; however, the engine would rev loudly. She took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the throttle assembly was not allowing any gas to enter the engine, which caused the vehicle not to run at times. The dealer stated that this was a very common issue and no recalls were issued. The contact believes that she should not be responsible for the repair and a recall should be issued. The failure mileage was 40,000 and current mileage was 55,000. Updated 05/15/09 the consumer stated the air bag light illuminated. Updated 05/18/09.

I have had problems with my car not starting and then dying when slowing down at a stop light and such. I have had the car towed twice and its been in the shop multiple times. They still haven't been able to figure out what is wrong with it. They have replaced everything they think it could be and still with no success. I'm worried that I could get seriously hurt and am mad at the fact that no one knows what the problem is. Not even the manufacturer.

I purchased a 2007 Suzuki Forenza in Dec 2006 and my transmission range sensor went bad in August of 2007, it went bad again less than a year later in June 2008, again in 2010 and now as of today November 22,2011 I have to put it back in the shop for the transmission range sensor. I really do feel like this should had been a recall cosnidering I am not the only Suzuki Forenza owner thta has had the ongoing issues . I have came out of pocket over $600 so far on gettign this problem fix because it was not cover under warranty.

The check trans/motor light came on in my car . I made an appt. At Suzuki. It was on for 6 days. It went off, then the air bag light came on. It stayed on. I mentioned that there were loose wires hanging under my seat when I dropped it off. They said a wire came loose and that I should not put anything under my seat . I say that the wires are so loose that if someone put there feet under the seat, there feet could get caught up in the wires and unhook them. Then my airbags won't work, correct? . If I get in an accident and they don't work, would that be considered unsafe? the dealer said the wires had to be loose because the seat moves and that nobody could get there feet caught in the wires. Loose wires under a seat that control a safety device. . Sounds unsafe to me. . I took it in for the passenger side airbags right after I bought it. . They said wasn't broke and gave me a letter that says the passenger airbag light will come on if the passenger is not seated correctly in the seat. . Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. They fixed it this time, too much resistance.

Our car keeps cutting off while driving. It has been into a Suzuki dealership 4 times and is now in for a 5th time (all in 2 months). It has cut off in an intersection, which was very dangerous.

I bought my car brand new with just 15 miles on it and had it for 2 weeks and then it started giving me problems with starting.

I bought a new 2006 Suzuki Forenza from a dealer on 23 may 2006. After one week with the car, I began having problems in that it does not start after it sits for a while. I called the salesman on 2 Jun 06 and told him that for the third time that week, it didn't start. He didn't inform me of any problem with the vehicle and just stated it shouldn't happen and to have it towed in. I went back to the vehicle and it finally started but I have had the same problem starting it every day since. Today I called the service department and they informed me that there is a problem with "cold starts" on this vehicle and that there is no fix for it at the present time, and I'll get a recall message in the future when Suzuki figures out what's wrong with the vehicle. I believe this problem should have been disclosed by the dealer/salesman before I bought this new vehicle and when I originally called them on 2 Jun 06 with a complaint, they should have revealed the problem to me at this time. I feel this car is a lemon and I have no recourse.

The check engine appeared on the dashboard and remained on. Driver noticed that the vehicle vibrated and rode roughly. Driver took vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the cap was not screwed on properly. This caused air to escape into the cap. Driver informed the mechanic that this problem occurred more than once, and had not been resolved.

Problems with vehicle shutting down. The consumer requested another vehicle. The consumer was told that something was wrong with the computer.

I face the heat engine and electrical problems like the other Suzuki cars of similar models driving in the highway.
