Suzuki Swift owners have reported a total of 14 problems for their cars built in the 5 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the Suzuki Swift. The 1997 Suzuki Swift cars have the most problems reported (4 problems).
| Model Year | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| 2002 Swift | |
| 2001 Swift | |
| 2000 Swift | |
| 1998 Swift | |
| 1997 Swift |
The following chart shows the 8 most common problems for Suzuki Swift cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's air bags (5 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's power train (3 problems).
| Problem Category | Number of Problems |

It would not be fair to compare the Suzuki Swift of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across Swift model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a Suzuki Swift model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
