I had received a safety recall on a fire hazard with the lightening after I kept smelling plastic burning every time it rained...I then noticed it was because I had the lights on all the time. I have called suzuki to no avail to have a local procured to do recall repair due to the closet approved vendor being 2 hours away in traffic and the length of repair taking most of their day plus return trip. We would have to spend night in a hotel. My mechanic even called them and said they would do the repairs in chantilly, va. And suzuki refused saying it would only take me 20 minutes to drive to wheaton md???????? I am in bristow, va. I asked that they have the vehicle towed and fixed and brought back to me then and they refuse every suggestion. This is by far a huge inconvenience and wear and tear on my vehicle. It is their fire hazard, they should make every effort to provide for a local repair to the fire hazard.

I received recall notice in regards to the headlamp switch or daytime running light (drl) module which could melt the headlamp switch or the drl module. I took car to dealer and they replaced the signal switch. Now when I start the car the headlights flicker and when I release the parking brake the running lights come on but very dim to bright. I am concerned about the light flicker when starting car.

This is the 2nd recall on the drl module in 2 years. I have had to replace my battery terminals on the car. The headlights won't turn off unless I unhook the battery. The recall got started in may 2014, the recall was mailed out in july 2014 and the recall is being done while suzuki does not have the parts. The car company will take for ever to get the parts. I called suzuki and was told that if my car catches on fire it is not their concern. In the meantime I have no other way to work. I can not register the car, can not do the inspection, can not drive it. This is such a hardship for a lot of people. Suzuki says that they will put you through to their corporate office, but that is a big joke. Is it any wonder why they have not sold new vehicles in the us since 2012.I just want my car fixed and suzuki will take care of all the electrical wrongs on my car. If enough people complain something will get done.

After my daytime running lights stayed on all night, my battery died and I had to have the engine jumped. I went along with my day, parked my car at the bus lot and went to work. After returning to the car, I smelled smoke. When I tried to pop my hood, I noticed the interior paneling under my steering wheel was black and melted. The hood would not pop open because the release lever was also melted. There was smoke damage on my windshield near the air/defrost vents and on anything sitting in my car. Lucky for me, I was not in the car when the fire occurred and it was in a parking lot where no one was around to get injured. After having the transmission sensor replaced on the car 4 times before they replaced the entire transmission, I've realized there were electrical problems with this car long before the fire occurred. Many others have complained about a fire in this exactly make/model/year car. Suzuki should be ashamed for making such terrible cars and filing for bankruptcy right before the problem occurs so there is nothing to be done/no accountability.

Headlights won't turn off. While driving on the expressway black smoke blew in my face. Electrical wires were on fire. I was able to pull over and get out without getting hit by the fast cars going by. Called 911 the fire department came put out the fire.
