Seats Problems of Suzuki Forenza

Air bag light came on in the dash, also passenger seat belt not on light came on in the clock. I took the car to planet automotive group here in charlotte, they ran a diagnostic on the vehicle and found a b1448 code for passenger seat mat defect. I called the manufacture at 714-572-1490 talked to a person named debbie, I was told this is no longer under warranty and they could not help. I disagreed with her, told her this was a very serious safety issue and they should help with the cost of replaced/repair. Was told sorry. Need you help am 85 year old and don't have funds for new seat which cost $3750. 00.

The transmission range sensor has gone out on the vehicle. I have spoken to many other owners Suzuki vehicles and they to are having to replace transmission range sensors. Dealer service centers acknowledge that this part breaks often and they keep extra in stock. This issue will begin with causing vehicles to shift rough and end with vehicles not being able to shift out of or into park. The airbag and seat belt light will not go off. We have been told that it is the cushion sensor and will cost $1500 to replace. Again, after speaking with other Suzuki car owners, they too have had to deal with this issue. Suzuki issued a recall for this issue for some vehicles but not vehicles that have been impacted have been recalled and owners are being charged to replace this defective part. Suzuki has been made aware of these issues by other owners and have covered repair costs for a few, but have chosen not to issue a recall for all affected vehicles.

The contact owned a 2007 Suzuki Forenza. The contact noticed that the windshield was cracked and the parked vehicle was filled with black smoke. A police report was not filed and the fire department was not notified. The vehicle was destroyed. The vehicle was parked at the contact's residence. The cause of the failure was not determined. The VIN was excluded from NHTSA campaign number: 14v262000 (exterior lighting). The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.

Starting in January 2014 car had approximately 75,000 miles on it and began lurching into gear from stopped. When put into reverse, jumps into gear. When put into drive after backing out of driveway lurches forward starting in 3rd gear and continues during driving. Husband diagnosed after much online research and a few months later, even taking code into dealership for repair. Dealer insisted they couldn't replicate and cleared code without making note of problem. My husband argued that we wouldn't be picking car up until the problem was replicated and taken care of. After insisting they couldn't replicate, we drove back to dealership and made service manager ride with husband until car "performed" malfunction, literally a half of a block from dealership. It was obvious they were avoiding problem and hadn't driven car at all! code was noted as 0700, just as my husband had reported initially. Transmission sensor was replaced and after diagnostics were finally properly preformed, airbag light was also reset (has continued to come on almost entire time we've owned the car-were told our daughters long legs were kicking wires underneath drivers' side seat) and also made aware voltage is too high on drivers side but nothing was done to fix either. Dealership offered no solution. Spent $191. 65 to fix transmission sensor. Originally charging $260+ but husband demanded reduction in diagnostic price due to the fact we had to drive back into town to dealership to duplicate problem for incompetent/unwilling service department . Very unsatisfied and will be looking into options after seeing transmission range sensor seems to be ongoing epidemic for many 2008 Suzuki Forenza owners. Have also had ongoing problems with seat airbag sensor not working on front passenger's side since 2009.

The drivers seat has collapsed to the floor board of the car. When it initially happened it almost caused the driver to pull the steering wheel which would've caused an accident. Fortunately there wasn't another car coming the opposite direction at the time. We told the manufacturer about the problem through the dealer and they refused to correct the problem.

The contact owns a 2005 Suzuki Forenza. While driving approximately 25 mph, the driver side seat went backwards. The contact drove to the dealer and they stated that two springs and one rod failed. The seats railing system failed and needed to be replaced also. The dealer only replaced the two springs because the rod or the railing was not in stock. The current and failure mileages were 51,000. The left front seat adjust was broken. Updated 12/12/07.

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.

When at idle after the car warms up my seats vibrate terribly. The dealer put a new transmission & mounts in and it still vibrates. The dealer now said their is nothing more they can do.
