| I have had to repair so much on this car in such a short amount of time, i am going nuts...almost every month its something else! i have had blown head gaskets, replaced broken door handles (they broke again), chipping paint (for no reason), brake light switch system, now the transmission range sensor is bad. to replace the tires, the cheapest you can find is $130/tire new. i am out of thousands of dollars when the care was supposed to be under warranty and americas best powertrain but everything in the car that is going bad, isn't covered! my 2007 sukuki forenza sucks! | |||

| A person driving behind our car (suzuki-forenza) pulled up next to us and stated we didn't have any back tail lights we also noticed on our dashboard the airbag light came on and wouldn't go off. we stopped and checked the fuses, bulbs and found both in good working order but we still had no tail lights. attempted to head to an auto parts store to seek help(sunday) and realized that the gear shift would not come out of park. read the manual and had to utilize the release mech. everytime we stopped the car and placed it in park. also, some type of engine noise maybe fan belt continues and has to go back to the shop. *tr | |||

| I have a 2007 suzuki forenza; it was new when i purchased it. however, i just had a strange instance last week in which the brake lights would not go out after i turned off the car. i had to drain the battery just to find out whether or not they would go out, which they did not. i ended up taking it to the dealership and they had to replace the battery and brake switch. this cost about $275 altogether, however i am not sure if this has happened with other forenzas yet and wanted to report it, as brakelights being out someone could run into you if this happens. i have not had it happen again but if it does i will report it. *tr | |||
