WHEN I BUY THE CAR IN BETWEEN 2 WEEK AGO IT HACE THE AIRBAG TURN ON AND THE PASS TOO WHEN I ASK A MECHANIC WHO SPEACILIZED IN SUZUKI HE SAID THAT IT NEED TO GO TO A DESLER OF SUZUKI BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS FROM FABRIC AND THE CAR NEVER WAS IN A ACCIDENT
MY MOST RECENT INCONVENIENCE WITH MY SUZUKI RECALL TENSIONER WAS ON 2/5/2020, I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN WHEN MY VEHICLE'S BELT TENSIONER AND DRIVE BELT CAME OFF OF THE RECALL TENSION ADJUSTER PULLEY. I COULD NOT TURN MY VEHICLE, THE ALTERNATOR LIGHT WAS ON, AND ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET ALL OF MY RECALL PARTS FOR MY SUZUKI GRAND VITARA REPAIRED SINCE MAY 2019. ROYAL NISSAN BATON ROUGE, IS THE COMPANY RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING SUZUKI'S RECALLS, BUT THEY HAVE FAILED TO HONOR ITS WARRANTY POLICY CAUSING ME TO SPEND OVER $500 IN REPAIRS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED. THE BELT HAS SLIPPED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS , I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO PAY FOR A NEW BELT TENSIONER BECAUSE MY LIFE WAS AT RISK. THE COMPANY HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES AND RECALL PARTS THAT ARE STILL INCOMPLETE IS ROYAL NISSAN BATON ROUGE, I SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE BY THE NAME OF NATHAN.
THE HEAD LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT EVERY SIX MONTHS. I KEEP REPLACING, BUT THEN THE GO OUT AGAIN.

I WAS LEAVING TO GO TO WORK AT 9:45 PM AND HEADING UP MY STREET WHEN MY LIGHTS QUIT WORKING. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO TO WORK DUE TO NO WORKING LIGHTS AND HAD TO CALL OUT OF WORK. THIS IS NOT OK I HAVE A LITTLE ONE AND WORK RESPONSIBILITIES. ITS A 2010 VEHICLE AT 36941 MLES THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON MY LIGHTS SHOULD BE GOING OUT. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR IN MARCH. *JS

ITS LIKE A SPONGE WHEN U TAKE YOUR HAND TO IT. *TR
EVERY MORNING I HEAD OFF TO WORK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD, I START THE VEHICLE, I PUT INTO DRIVE AS I ACCELERATE TO ABOUT 10 MILES I HEAR A RATTLING SOUND FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THIS SOUNDS HAPPENS EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS WARM ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, SUCH AS BEING AT A STOPLIGHT. I HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE REPAIR SHOP AT THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS THE HEAT SHIELD FOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I LEFT THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT, IN ORDER FOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO EXPERIENCE THE ANNOYING SOUND, WHEN THEY TEST DROVE IT THE FOLLOWING MORNING. HERE I AM ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS LATER WITH THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE IT IS SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS THAN A HEAT SHIELD. I HAVE SCHEDULED A SECOND APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE REPAIRED. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCH THE ISSUE ONLINE AND SEE THAT THIS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH SUZUKIS. *TR
