THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON TO SHOW THE AIR BAG IS NOT WORKING EVEN IF I HAVE A PASSENGER SEATED PROPERLY IN THE FRONT SEAT. IT DOES NOT DO THIS ALL THE TIME BUT IT HAPPENS ENOUGH TO CONCERN ME AND MY WIFE. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A 2006 MODEL YEAR OF THE SAME CAR. WE HAD OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THAT CAR AS WELL AND THE DEALER TOOK IT BACK AND SOLD US THE 2007 WHICH HAS SOME OF THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF SINCE WE GOT THE CAR IN MARCH OF 2007. *TR

I HAVE A SUZUKI/FORENZA 2007 AND ON MONDAY 02/01/2010 WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT WHILE IN THE TURNPIKE NORTH. I WAS GOING AT ABOUT 60 TO 65 MILES/HOUR AND ANOTHER DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF HIS CAR BECAUSE OF THE RAIN AND I HIT HIM AT THAT SPEED. IT WAS A HEAD COLLISION/ T BONE LIKE AND EVEN THOUGH THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS ALL CRASHED INCLUDING THE HARD BUMPER THE AIR BAGS ON MY CAR DID DEPLOY. I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS SYSTEM IN THIS CAR. UPDATED 02/26/10 *BF *TR THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. THE ENGINE WAS CRACKED. THE MAIN SUPPORT FRAME THAT HELD THE VEHICLE AT THE BOTTOM WAS BENT AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. UPDATED 04/29/10. *JB

I HAVE BEEN READING ALL THE COMMENTS ON THIS CAR AND I'VE HAD EVERY ONE OF THEM...I HAVE A 2007 SUZUKI FORZENA AND MY CAR PROBLEMS STARTED AT ABOUT 25,000 MILES. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN SOOO MANY TIMES WITH NO RESOLVE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT STILL COMES ON EVERY OTHER DAY. I'VE HAD ISSUES WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND THE CAR WOULD JUST DECELERATE DOWN TO 35 MPH WITHIN A MATTER OF SECONDS AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PUSHED THE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE TO THE FLOOR IT WOULD NOT BUDGE...THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS COMPANY IS STILL ALLOWED TO MAKE CARS. THE "LOANER" CAR THAT THEY SAY THEY GIVE YOU IN THE WARRANTY IS A JOKE. WE'VE HAD TO RENT OUR OWN CARS AND "WAIT" TO BE REIMBURSED. THE DEALERSHIPS THEY SEND YOU TO CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. NO MATTER WHAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR YOU STILL HAVE TO MAKE YOUR PAYMENTS....THIS CAR HAS TOO MANY PROBLEMS!!!! *TR
