My lights do not work. The left head light dims or doesnt work at all and the right head light is completely broken. Ive changed bulbs multiple times and still nothing. If I put on my blinker while driving it will cut off the one light that kind of works. Using my brights while on the road may cut my lights on briefly

I'm having trouble with the eletrical wiring. I've noticed a shortness in my radio, according breaks and pressure for the car over heating when stopping. Had my radiator and fans replaced. But still having issues with car over heating. And AC and heat not working when turned on. If close the door or go over a bump in road will work. Just like my radio. I only had this car since last feb and its becoming worrisome. Brake lights sometimes doesn't work has a shortness also. And low head beam on driver side keep going out... Have to drive on high beam all the time at night

Not sure if you can tell us what to do but we bout a 2005 suzuki forenza last april for our 18 year old for graduation and we only bout it for $1200 and was never told about a recall at all. Long story short my son was about to leave one night and within a matter of minutes of him leaving he runs in the house yelling his car is on fire so we ran out put the fire out and then looked it up and found a recall on the part that caught fire. Headlamp switch drl module. Thanks god he was not driving down the street or the other cars or house caught fire. So after I put in the ven number and find this info within a week we received a recall letter from suzuki. Now my question is will this get paid for like the wiring that got burnt up and who pays to get it to another town to get fixed? If someone could lead me in the right direction that would be great I just really think we got screwed and my son really wants his car fixed

I filed a complaint last week number 10949103 but due to the federal safety agency recall website problems was not able to see that there is a recall on my problem. So I will be taking it in for the 3 recalls on this car.

I have 2 suzuki forenzas of this model year. One had a recall on the daytime running lights (xa recall). One of the symptoms was the headlights going out while driving at night. Finally had it done (had to drive 2 plus hours to find a dealer who could do this because of it's orphan status). Now the second forenza has the same thing happening yet somehow it's not a part of this recall......this seems to be a mistake and I am stating that other vehicles than the original group are affected by this problem. Problem happens while driving with the regular headlights on.
