On 04/21/15 another incident was when i was driving to the hospital and all of a sudden my car dropped to less than 20 mph and wouldn't accelerate.i had to pull over without power steering to get my son to the hospital. on 5/04/2015 i was driving my car to drop my son off at daycare and when i started my car it revved up the engine on its own from 2-3 rpm's and then idled and i put the car in drive and drove about 2 miles and then while i was at a stop light i was stopped and my car jerked forward slightly 2 times and you could hear the change in the car then all of a sudden it died. i waited about 4 minutes and started it up again and it got me to my sons daycare and then i shut it off took him in and went to start my car and it wouldn't start. after waiting for 3 minutes i tried again and the same thing happened on my way to work. my car died while i was at the stop light. this time i was on a hill and my car started rolling backwards but my brakes were on so i didn't hit the car behind me.the latest incident occurred while i was on the freeway and i was going 65 mph and it lost power and i slowed to 20 mph then my car died this time it took almost 15 minutes for me to start my car. i took it to the shop 4 times and they replaced my throttle body, throttle actuator control, and my throttle position sensor. it still didn't stop my car from dying. my mechanic told me it keeps losing the signal and the suzuki dealer is shutting it off. i am very scared to drive my vehicle in case i get into an accident due to it continuously dying on me.
So i park my car in the drive way turn it off and take the key out but the car didn't turn off.. it was still running. it turned off when i opened the door, the lights on the dash all stayed on. this happened numerous times. i've had this car since 2006 and have had my share of problems with it.. before this happened i was having issues starting it for about a week.. maybe longer. i would have to start it about 3 times before it stayed on. *tr
Was driving on i40 to wilmington, nc from raleigh, nc. i stopped to get gas when i was about 30 minutes away from wilmington. i noticed my dashboard looked like it was jumpy. all the gauge lines were going back and forth. but it lasted only seconds and really i thought...did that really happen. i got back on the road because the car was driving perfectly fine. once i got into wilmington, the car started smoking from under the hood, the gauges were going crazy. the gauges were just going back and forth and back and forth like they were possessed! the car stalled, i got it off the road as best as possible, raised the hood and small flames were coming out. i took a towel and through it over the motor and it killed the flames. check oil, it was fine, had plenty of gas. my dad said it looks like it had an electrical failure and then the fan went out and caused the car to over heat and it blew a head gasket. not sure why it would have had an electrical failure. the car is parked now because i do not have money to fix it. has anyone else had this kind of problem? *tr
My wife has bought this car brand new and seems like its going to be on its third trans and it only has 67000 miles on it. the cars engine lite comes on steady and drives fine for a little bit but after a while the light starts flashing and the car idles rough, goes 0-60 in christmas to next thanksgiving then will not shift correctly. it feels like it is taking off in third gear every time. when it finally gets going it shifts in the 5-7000 rpm range. we have taken it to the shop the first time and they said it was a sensor. they changed the sensor and still the same so they changed the trans at only under 30000 miles. two days later and 12 miles down the road, the same thing occurs. we took it back to the dealer and they said there is nothing wrong with the car and that we will have to drive it. i have tried to email other dealers and noone will touch it. now it is doing the same exact thing except the car will just not hardly move. it seems to be fouling out the plugs. i pulled them and they are all covered in fuel. it now feels like its the timing belt that slipped a tooth. suzuki should stick with making bikes and not cars and maybe have better customer assistance. i am at lost for words or knowledge as to what to do. i feel that we shouldn't have to pay for repairs on something that should be recalled most definitely. it is highly dangerous and shouldn't be on the road. there has been instances where im about to turn left and the car looses power half way through the turn. please do something about this death trap. my wife totes around other kids in this car for her job. thank you *tr

1. car hesitates to start in the morning and stalls 2. car dealer states it needs a software part. 3. part installed and nothing but problems after that as well. car leaked gas, engine light would come on, car again would hesitate to start and would stall. dealer puts new computer in the new car and the car runs worse than it did before. engine light comes on and car would stall going down the road and car looses steering when it stalls. almost in a few accidents due to stalling in the middle of the road. the keep re-flashing the computer and it's not helping. *jb
