2006 Suzuki Forenza locks complaints

Filed Mar 3, 2007 · Brakes, Electrical · 45 miles · MD

When I first brought the car on 1/30/2006, it started giving me problems,such as not starting up, the engine light on and off all the time. The emergency brake light on constantly. The power windows rolling up and down by themselves. The power locks stop working and then work over and over again. When I'm driving, the car jerks and pulls all the time. (the pulling is coming from the transmission). I am a single mother of two and I feel real bad about getting stuck with a lemon. After I get out of school I take classes at night and my kids go to the daycare on campus when I picked them up after class, got in the car, started it up, and the front two windows rolled down by themselves, and would not roll up and it was snowing and we had to ride all the way home like that. The dealership doesn't care. As far as they are concerned, it is not their problem. It is a messed up world we live in where someone knows that you really need a car and they screw you with a lemon. Until this present day, all these problems described still exist but so do me and my son-3 and my daughter-6 if anybody can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have purchased a 2006 suzuki forenza. As a certified crime prevention inspector, I have discovered features of this vehicle that will prove to be a safety concern for any driver/owner of this vehicle. The locks on the vehicle do no operate independently. The driver of the vehicle controls all locking devices on his/her side. An example of this is that the passenger if the vehicle cannot open his/her door if it is locked. The driver has to open the door. In the event that the driver is incapacitated the passenger would have extreme difficulty getting out of the car. Also, when the driver unlocks the door all locks open. In the event that there is someone trying to gain unauthorized entry into the vehicle they will be able to do so without difficulty; putting the driver in extreme danger. There is no way for the rear seated passengers to exit the vehicle without the driver unlocking the door. In the event of a fire a passenger would perhaps literally have to break out a window to exit. This would take time and the passenger or passengers may perish. These are extreme safety concerns which I pray will be investigated!
