2004 Suzuki Forenza S 4 door review from North America
"Piece of Junk!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In certain temperature it will not start, I have replaced the battery twice in the past year.
I have had to replace the tire 3 times in the past year and a half. difficult to find the tires and they wear out very easily and quickly.
The airbag light comes on and won't go off, apparently something to do with the seat belt sensor.
Parking brake goes on and off even when the parking brake is disengaged and I am driving it around.
Radio (all of a sudden) won't work and needs a code to reprogram that noone seems to know.
Parts are expensive and regular mechanics don't seem to have the correct diagnosing machines.
General comments?
This car is crap and I thought it was a great deal for the price etc. however I have found out that it is not the case. I have had nothing, but problems with this car since I got it and parts and service is very expensive. I had an 11 year old acura integra and I really should have just kept the integra. Even though it was a lot older, it was still better than the piece of junk that I am trying to get rid of now.
