Car exhibited a tendency to pull to the right at first. After turning a corner the car pulled to the left. Going down the highway the front of the car wandered from side to side. After I parked the car and re started the engine when I put it into gear a loud banging noise came from the front of the car and it did not move in reverse or drive. Banging stopped in neutral and park. I jacked up the car and the front sub-frame was rusted thru right next to where the lower suspension arm attached to it.

This tire is not the original tire provided by suzuki, therefore suzuki is not involved in the problem. The tire has developed several cracks. There is a crack (averaging 3/4" in length) in every outer tread groove on the right side of the tire (looking from the rider's perspective). There are no cracks on the left side, or anywhere else on the tire. The tire has about 6000 miles on it, and still has about half of it's usable tread left. The rear tire has not developed this problem, and is wearing fine.( dot number: b56f k9801 tire size: 110/70zr17 )
Vehicle would die after going 50mph. Had taken to dealer & the fuel filter, pump, alternator & battery had been changed or replaced at least 9 different times. It's an erractic operation.
Brakes started to make noises even after they were replaced and are not responding like they should. They have been inspected 3 times and continue to perform poorly.
Driving vehicle about 35mph on residential street; applied the brakes. Heard a grinding sound at that time. Took to dealer & refused to repair vehicle due to not being under warranty. Brake pades wearing unevenly in the front. Dealer gave pads to owner to replace.
Antilock brakes failed.
