What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2010 Suzuki Kazashi, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

I HAVE THREE OF THESE CARS AND IT DOES NOT HAPPEN JUST ON MINE. THE BEGINNING OF LAST YEAR I TOOK A ROAD TRIP AND ON THE HWY MY CAR WENT FORM 78 TO LESS THEN 40 ON THE FREEWAY. I HAD TO PULL OVER. THROUGOUT THE COURSE OF HAVING OUR CARS THE DEALERSHIP CALLED IT VAPOR LOCK. YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND LET YOU CAR REST? ON 08/01/2015 I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND IS ONLY A 35 MINUTE DRIVE MY CAR LOST ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER CAR BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO SWERVE AND MISS MY CAR. IT IS STARTING TO LOSE POWER MORE AND MORE AND IN SHORTER DISTANCES TRAVELED. AS I STATED WE OWN THREE OF THEM AND IT HAPPENS IN ALL THREE. WE HAVE TO RENT A CAR WHEN DRIVING TO CA. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.
