NHTSA complaint: 2005 SUZUKI FORENZA — STEERING
BACK IN NOV 2012 I TOOK MY 2005 SUZUKI FORENZA IN FOR A RECALL REPAIR AS SUGGESTED THE RECALL WAS ON THE WIRING HARNESS THAT PUT THE HEADLIGHTS ON AND OFF (I HAD BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY HEADLIGHTS POPPING ON AND OFF AT RANDOM TIMES) SO AFTER I OBEYED THE RECALL I NOTICED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED SO IN JAN 12 2013 MY CAR WAS SITTING AT A LOCAL APPLEBEES PARKING LOT COMPLETELY TURNED OFF NOTHING PLUGGED IN NO LIGHTERS IN THE CAR JUST SITTING THERE WHEN SOMEONE RAN INTO THE RESTAURANT AND SHOUTED "WHOSE GOLD SUZUKI IS THAT? ITS ON FIRE" NEEDLESS TO SAY WHEN I RAN OUT THE DASHBOARD WAS COMPLETELY IN FLAMES THE FIRE DEPT CAME TO RESCUE AND AT MY REQUEST A FIRE INVESTIGATOR INVESTIGATED THE INCIDENT AND CONCLUDED THAT THE FIRE STARTED AS A RESULT OF A ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE WIRING HARNESS...(YES THE "RECALLED'' "FIXED" PART) THE ACTUALLY DEALERSHIP THAT "FIXED" THE RECALLED PART HAS ALREADY STATED THAT THEY ARENT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT & I AM WAITING TO SUZUKI CORPORATE TO CONCLUDE THEIR FINDINGS I TRULY HOPE SUZUKI DOES THE RIGHT THING IN THIS UNFORTUNATE MATTER IF NOT I AM PREPARED TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION BUT IM PRAYING THEY WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. *TR
