Tire Problems of Suzuki Forenza

My front left tire keeps going flat for whatever reason. I have purchased two new tires within the last six months. The first time I got my flat the whole tire went behind the rim and damaged my rim. I went to go get a new tire the next day. The second time I got a flat happened just a few months after the first time and it was on the exact same time; the front left. I went to get a new tire and rim this time since they had a rim to fit. Well today; August 16, 2014, my tire seemed slack, so I went to put air into the tire. I have yet to find out if it was a flat or not. But when I got 55 mph on the highway my car still shakes as if it is still flat or slack. I don't know what the deal is but it is always something with that tire and it makes me very nervous to drive and go out in town.

I had bought 4 kumho ecsta lx platinum tires size 195/55r 15. . . One blew up after not even 2000 miles, I had it repaired but I had to pay because they said it was maybe something on the road, then now after not even 14000 miles the other 3 need replaced because they are completely wore out, and the one that I replaced is already half way bad. . . Very, very bad tires. . . My mechanic sent them back but we will see if we will get any credit.

The contact owns a 2007 Suzuki Forenza. Two months after purchasing the vehicle, the contact received a recall notice for the seat belts. The recall repairs were performed, but afterwards the seat belt would not latch for approximately one month. At 7,000 miles, the vehicle speed control became inoperable. At 22,000 miles, the driver's side passenger door latch cracked at the base. As a result, the contact had to roll down the window and open the door from the rear in order to exit the vehicle. The vehicle began pulling to the left while driving between 40-70 mph. An independent mechanic stated that the tire had a hole in it and would be patched. Also, the vehicle needed an alignment and the contact was informed to take it back to the dealer to have the specifications checked when the alignment did not correct the issue. The failure mileage was 7,000 and current mileage was 23,450.

During a routine oil change and tire bal I was adv my kumho tires had severe tire rot and my tires began ripping from the sides. I was told to contact my dealer I took it to the Suzuki repair shop who adv me and put in writing ii had no tire rot and what had occur was fault of my own , I was disturbed by there findings and got a third opinion who did adv I had severe tire rot and the veh was unsafe to drive. My veh was only 6 months old and my tires where already ripping apart my tread wear was less than 25% and the manufacturer date of my tire was 02/06. The repair shop was the worst experience I ever had but kumho did replace all 4 of my tires they also agreed they had severe tire rot.

I own a 2006 Suzuki Forenza and have had numerous problems with this car. Since purchasing new in 2006, I have had the gas gauge, gas tank, radio, center console, front door handles & catalytic converter replaced. The factory tires went bad within a year, and because it is an odd tire size cost over $400 to replace. Currently the check engine light is on stating there is a problem with the catalytic converter which was just replaced about 3 months ago. I left the car overnight at the dealer & got a rental car (which cost $75) and the dealer and Suzuki tech support can not figure out why the catalytic converter error continues to show up. The power steering light is also on & I was told that it requires a sensor - not covered by warranty - that will cost over $300. I have had a problem with the engine jerking and slipping gears on acceleration. It would also stick in neutral or not change gears and hesitate to the point of moving very slowly. I was told this was an oxygen sensor which cost me over $300 to replace. I have had this problem once since. The struts - front and back - also need to be replaced which is a $1200 repair because they are leaking. Currently both front door handles are broken causing me to have to open the windows to open the doors. I have had them replaced once before under recall, but now it will cost over $200 a piece to replace. I didn't even know there was a light to indicate that the daytime running lights were working until it just appeared one day. The daytime running lights indicator won't stay on - it comes on, then goes back off. I think Suzuki needs to make good on these cars because there are so many problems.

My car was new when I purchased it. When I drove at 60 mph or more the car would start vibrating. I have took it back to the dealer several times. But the problem is still there. They have said low tire pressure. They have said the rim might be bent. They have the tires may need balancing. They have said the front end might need to be lined up. Please keep in mind this car was new and I have had this problem from day one.
