I WANT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT/INVESTIGATION INTO THE 2005 SUZUKI RENO AIRBAG SYSTEM. I BELIEVE MY CASE TO BE IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE. THE DRIVER HAD BEEN AT A 4-WAY STOP IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, STARTED IN FIRST GEAR THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW AND THE CAR WAS THROWN INTO A CURB. IT APPEARS THAT THE CURB GOT BETWEEN THE RIM AND THE BLOWN TIRE AND ALTHOUGH THE DRIVER WAS TRYING TO USE THE BRAKES TO STOP HE COULD NOT GET TRACTION...LIKE BEING ON A RAILROAD TIE. THE CAR HIT A MAILBOX AND THEN WAS PROPELLED INTO A TELEPHONE POLE. THE CAR HIT SLIGHTL…

WHILE DRIVING UP A HILL OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL AND THE RPMS RACE. IF I LET UP FROM THE ACCELERATOR FOR A FEW SECONDS IT WILL RESUME NORMAL DRIVING. MECHANIC SUGGESTS IT IS EITHER THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR OR THE CLUTCH PISTON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I LOSE SPEED RAPIDLY AND THE ROADS I TRAVEL MOST DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH SHOULDER TO PULL OVER SAFELY. NEAREST SUZUKI REPAIR SHOP IS OVER AN HOUR AWAY AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN TRYING TO DRIVE IT THAT FAR. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE 10…

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN EARLY FEB, 2014, AND I AM ALREADY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT. I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM [XXX], AND WAS TOLD WHEN I BOUGHT IT THAT IT RECENTLY HAD BRAKE/TIRE/SYSTEM WORK DONE, BUT THEY REFUSED TO LET ME KEEP A COPY OF THE BILL FOR SAID WORK. WHEN SHOWED THE CAR, THERE WERE DENTS AND SCRATCHES ON THE CAR, BUT I WAS TOLD THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS. WHEN I RECENTLY USED CARFAX TO CHECK THE HISTORY OF THE CAR, IT HAD 15 REPORTS ON IT. [XXX] ALSO SOLD ME INSURANCE FOR MY CAR, WHICH I WAS TOLD WOULD COVER NEARLY BUMPER TO BUMPER,…
