Suspension Noise Problems of Suzuki Forenza

I have complained consistently about the vibrations at idle and the loud noises in my engine compartment. Also fumes coming thru my vents that burn my eyes at times. Ended up in the er on one occasion and the next day the car had oil all over the valve gasket cover. Car was towed to the dealer but they said they seen no oil but I had pics of the leak. Still get intermittant smells of gas while driving that burn my eyes and throat. The engine gets hot fast and thats when the car starts to accelerate. Seems like it is searching for gears and the rpms rev up. I can feel the engine in my drivers seat really bad. My warranty is almost expired and it is now 2011 and the car has been in twice for the same complaints. Not to mention hearing the struts rattle over bumps and while making turns. They replaced my suspension twice. 1st time was while I only had my car for 2 months. I am not getting no results and this car is very unsafe. Now I am scared if I was to be involved in an accident the airbag may not deploy. They need to recall this car for the faulty transmission and the airbags before someone gets hurt really bad.

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.
