THE AIRBAG DEFECT WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING OR THE CAR BEING ON. SUZUKI DEPOT IN SANT ANA CA REPLACED THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION DUE TO A MANUFACTURER RECALL. THE AIRBAG LIGHT FOR THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT SOON ACTIVATED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL SHOP. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE CODE C1312 WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT RECALL CODE BY SUZUKI CORP. THEY DIDN'T TOUGH THE SEAT. I CALLED SUZUKI DEPOT WHO CALLED SUZUKI TO DETERMINE THE NEXT STEP. SUZUKI HAS NOT FIXED THE AIRBAG LIGHT OR WHAT'S CAUSING IT TO REMAIN LIT. THIS IS AN IMMEDIATE PASSENGER SAFETY ISSUE AND IN MY OPINION SHOULD BE RESOLVED AND FIXED RIGHT AWAY.

Summary

UNDIAGNOSEABLE OVERHEATING. WHEN RUNNING THE AIR CONDITIONER FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME (I.E. ROAD TRIP, LESS THAN 90 MINUTES) THE AIR CONDITIONING STOPS WORKING AND THE COOLANT BLOWS OUT OF THE OVERFLOW TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. WE'VE REPLACED THE RADIATOR TWICE, 3 DIFFERENT THERMOSTATS AND I'VE HAD THE HEAD MACHINED AND CHECKED FOR LEAKS, THE HEAD GASKET AND ALL ASSOCIATED GASKETS WITH THAT JOB REPLACED AND STILL CANNOT DRIVE WITHOUT COOLANT SPEWING FROM THE OVERFLOW AND EVENTUALLY CAUSING A RISE IN TEMP ON THE DASH GAUGE. DATE OF OCCURANCE BELOW IS AN ESTIMATE, I'VE BEEN FIGHTING THIS CAR FOR SO LONG I HAVE NO IDEA THE FIRST TIME THE ISSUE AROSE.

Summary

I BOUGHT MY SUZUKI DURING SEPTEMBER 2015. FOUR MONTHS AFTER MY PURCHASE THE HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY TURNED OFF. THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WORK AS WELL AS MY HIGH BEAMS. IN ORDER FOR ME TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, THE HIGH BEAMS ARE ON. MY HIGH BEAMS ARE ALSO NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO BE CONSIDERED HIGH BEAMS. THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS ALSO TURNED OFF (THE SAME TIME). I AND A COUPLE OTHERS HAVE READ THE MANUAL AND HAVE CHECKED AND RECHECKED FUSES. I EVEN REPLACED THE FUSES JUST IN CASE. O'REILLY, ADVANCE AUTO, AND AUTO ZONE HAVE ALL STATED THAT THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO SELL ME MORE HEADLIGHTS, BUT IT WOULD NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT SOUNDED MORE LIKE AND ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND UNTIL THAT IS ADDRESSED I WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY HAVE TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS MORE THAN ONCE WITHIN 6 MONTHS. I HAVE CHECKED FORUMS AND HAVE READ THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL SUZUKI KIZASHI OWNERS AND WITHOUT RESOLUTIONS THAT PERMANENTLY FIX THIS COMMON PROBLEM.

Summary

THE CHIEF COMPLAINT IS THIS CAR IS GOING THRU HIGH AND LOW BEAM BULBS LIKE NO TOMORROW, WE BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW FROM A AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY ARE THE ONES INSTALLING THE BULBS NOT ME, WE DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THE BULBS UP UNTIL 2 YEARS AGO PLUS AND IT'S LIKE THE FLOODGATES HAVE LET LOOSE, RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT THE CAR HAS BLOWN 2 LOW BEAMS IN THE LAST WEEK AND WE'RE SICK OF IT. IT WOULDN'T BE SO BAD IF I COULD CHANGE THEM MYSELF BUT YOU HAVE TO LOOSEN THE BUMPERS ON A LIFT TO CHANGE THE [XXX] BULBS, HOW CRAZY IS THAT!!!!!! I JUST WISH THE DEALERS WOULD GROW A PAIR AND GO AFTER SUZUKI TO MAKE THEM SOLVE THE PROBLEM OR PAY FOR THE CHANGES EACH TIME (WE) THE CAR OWNERS HAD TO GO IN THE GARAGE. THE AIR BAG ISSUES ARE BAD BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SAFETY ON VISIBILITY ON NIGHTTIME DRIVING WHEN BULBS BLOW OUT .

REPLACED DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT JAN OF 2014, AUG OF 2014, DEC OF 2014 AND JULY OF 2015. IT IS ALWAYS THE DRIVER SIDE THAT GOES OUT EVERY 6 OR 7 MONTHS. BECAUSE THE BULB BURNS OUT SO OFTEN, ITS BECOMING A HAZARD TO DRIVING AT NIGHT TIME. I HAVE MADE SURE TO ALWAYS HAVE AN EXTRA BULB WHEN 6 MONTHS IS APPROACHING JUST IN CASE. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE EVERY 6 MONTHS ON A NEWER CAR

Summary

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ABOUT A YEAR AGO. DECEMBER OF 2014 ONE OF MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS BURNT OUT. FOLLOWED BY THE SECOND BURNING OUT A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER. NOW I WENT TO A TRADE SCHOOL FOR AUTO MECHANICS AND KNOW HOW TO REPLACE HEADLIGHT BULBS AS I HAVE DONE IT PLENTY OF TIMES ON OTHER VEHICLES. AFTER REPLACING BOTH BULBS WITH OEM REPLACEMENTS THEY WORKED FINE, NO ISSUES, JUST IT WAS A PAIN IN THIS VEHICLE TO CHANGE. AFTER ABOUT 2 MONTHS ONE WENT OUT AGAIN. THEY WERE REPLACED AGAIN WITH HIGHER QUALITY/RATED BULBS. AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 2 MONTHS SAME ISSUE. I HAVE GONE ON SUZUKI FORUMS AND DONE MY RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND HAVE SEEN MANY CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WONDERING WHY THIS IS NOT A RECALL SINCE ITS A SEVER SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT TIME. MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE PEDESTRIANS, ANIMALS ECT. PLEASE HELP RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. *TR

Summary

I BOUGHT MY 2011 SUZUKI KAZASHI PRE-OWNED WITH A LITTLE OVER 22,000 MILES ON IT IN FEBRUARY OF 2013. A LITTLE LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LATER, MY DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. I REPLACED BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS MYSELF AS I ALWAYS REPLACE THE PAIR IF ONE GOES OUT. IT WENT OUT AGAIN IN MARCH 2014. THIS TIME, I HAD MY MECHANIC REPLACE IT BECAUSE REPLACING THE BULBS WERE A PAIN, AND I HAD TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND HAVE MY TIRES BALANCED AND ROTATED AND MY WHEELS ALIGNED ANYWAY. ON MAY 19TH, ON A RAINY, FOGGY MORNING, I NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHT WAS OUT AGAIN... LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AND LESS THAN 5,000 MILES LATER. I HAVE NOT REPORTED THE INCIDENT BECAUSE SUZUKI DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA PRETTY MUCH ALL CLOSED THEIR DOORS THE MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. I'M SURPRISED THAT THERE ISN'T A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AS IT DEALS WITH SAFETY (SEEING AT NIGHT). *TR
