| 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 2006 suzuki forenza looses acceleration while driving; simply put the gas pedal doesn't work. while driving on the highway at speed, and with out cruize control, i will let up on the accelerator and when the accelerator is pressed in again i have no acceleration. this type of incident has occured numberous times on the highway; even while attempting to pass a vehicle. this is very concerning because i feel i might be run over by a vehicle behind me if i loose acceleration. the vehicle has a tendancy to lunge forward while stopped due to this malfunction of the throttle body. the car is not safe to drive anywhere with the possiblity that it will not accelerate properly or lunge forward into a car at a stop light. i have contacted suzuki and they tell me it is not a malfunction and will not honor their 7yr; 70,000 mile warranty. i have had several trips to the mechanic to try to fix the problem; and we have worked our way through everything down to the very expensive throttle body. i went to a dealership and all they did was clear the codes; 10 miles down the road the car started doing the same thing all over again. i would like this fixed before there is a sever accident because i'm driving a defective vehicle. | |||

| Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle had a problem with the fuel pump. the first vehicle was exchanged at the dealer for another vehicle of the same year, make and model after six weeks due to replacement fuel pumps not repairing the problem. the replacement vehicle has also been taken to the dealer for the same problem with the fuel pump. | |||
