I have had to repair so much on this car in such a short amount of time, i am going nuts...almost every month its something else! i have had blown head gaskets, replaced broken door handles (they broke again), chipping paint (for no reason), brake light switch system, now the transmission range sensor is bad. to replace the tires, the cheapest you can find is $130/tire new. i am out of thousands of dollars when the care was supposed to be under warranty and "americas best powertrain" but everything in the car that is going bad, isn't covered! my 2007 suzuki forenza sucks! *tr
I have had two door latches (inside of vehicle) break off, looks exactly the same after they break, with only a piece left. makes it hard to exit the vehicle. both doors on passenger side are affected. rear door one fell off in early 2008, 2nd one broke off march of 2010.

Passenger door handles broke at the base of the handle. son tried to open the back door (behind driver) and the handle broke off in his hand. the front passenger side door handle has a crack in it from the top to the bottom of the handle. i expect it to break any day. back right passenger lock does not respond to "unlock" button when it is pushed. all others rise, this one stays down. *tr
