Suzuki SX4 problems and owner complaints

OK WHERE DO I BEGIN, I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 5 YRS., AND IT IS A PIECE OF CRAP. THE AIR CONDITIONER LEAKS WATER INSIDE THE CAR, I HAD IT BLOWN OUT AND IT DIDN'T HELP, THE POWER STEERING PUMP LEAKS, I DON'T HAVE ANY POWER STEERING, THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. I PAID 15,000 FOR THIS CAR, I FEEL ITS A LEMON, BUT CAN'T PROVE IT, CAUSE I DON'T HAVE RECEIPTS FROM THE LAST 12MONTHS. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. I'M JUST SICK OF IT, I KNOW I GOT RIPPED OFF. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SUZUKI. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A SUZUKI SX4, VIN NUMBER: [XXX], THAT HAS 22,713 MILES.

1. DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED IN HILLY TERRAIN. 2. WHEN DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, IN HILLY TERRAIN, IF THE HILL IS STEEP ENOUGH THAT THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS TWICE, UPON REACHING THE CREST OF THE HILL OR OTHERWISE LEVELING OUT, THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT RETURN THE CAR TO THE SET SPEED, BUT WILL CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE THE CAR TO FOUR MILE PER HOUR OR MORE OVER SET SPEED.

THIS ISSUE DEALS WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR IN MY 2007 SUZUKI SX-4. THE SENSOR FIRST STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS ABOUT A YEAR AGO.

I MENTIONED IT TO THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHO EXPLAINED T…

MULTIPLE TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HARD TO START. IT CRANKS FOR A WHILE BUT DOES NOT START ON THE FIRST TRY. ON THE SECOND IT CRANKS FOR A WHILE AND JUST BARELY STARTS. ONE TIME IT STARTED ON THE THIRD TRY. IT SEEMS LIKE THE FUEL PUMP IS NOT PRIMING THE LINES IN TIME. *TR
