Problems with 2004 Suzuki Verona EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 suzuki verona. the contact stated that the headlights would intermittently fail. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v262000 (exterior lighting) and contacted the manufacturer. the manufacturer was under liquidation and was not able to honor the recall repair at a local dealer due to a lack of dealers in the contact's state. the closest dealer to the contact was over 120 miles from his residence. the contact was not comfortable driving the vehicle that far due to the potential risk of a fire erupting in the vehicle from the headlight failure. the manufacturer advised the contact that if he wanted the vehicle repaired, he would have to pay for the recall repair himself. the failure mileage was 74,000.

I have received a recall "xc" notice, important safety recall. daytime running light (drl) may over heat risking vehicle fire. i called suzuki auto (877) 697-8985 because the closest dealership is now a days drive away (some 300 miles) instead of here in town. i told 2 or 3 different people i was able to talk to, that it is not possible for me to drive that far. i am on va and social security disabilities also full time care giver with help from the state for my 87 year old mother who suffers from dementia. suzuki will not authorize any other dealership or repair facility to replace the module. i either drive to phoenix, az or try to sue them if the car catches fire. it is their mandatory recall and should do all that needs being done to make the repair rather than tell me sorry if you live to far away to get it done. *tr
