| 2006 suzuki forenza wagon issues so far: 63k - check engine light came on and a line through the d on the instrument panel showed up, which acts like the car is in neutral. when trying to accelerate the car has no power. if you pull over, turn the car off and restart it then the car is back to normal. it has done this 4 times now in the past 2 weeks. 60k - a couple of months ago the window washer pump went out and i had to replace it. i did it myself and it still cost me $85. front seatbelt acts like it latches but then comes back out (this problem was recalled). 40k - the air bag light is also lit up on the car. | |||
