When attempting to shift the vehicle from park to reverse or drive there will be a loud clunk sound. The check engine light will come on and the vehicle will not accelerate. If you shut the vehicle off and then restart, it will then accelerate but will not shift properly. I had the vehicle to ken pollock Suzuki dealership in pennsylvania when it was still covered under warranty and they charged me $100.00 dollars to run a diagnostic code scan. They said that they could not find the problem but when asked to explain the codes that were retrieved, I was informed that they were generic transmission codes and that they would not or could not fix the vehicle. This is a ongoing problem and a severe safety concern considering the amount of complaints logged against this model vehicle. *tr

Warning light for air bag system came on and stays on, and I have not been in an accident and the car fax for this car shows no accident where airbags where used, at any time in the past. Called pugmire Suzuki, in marietta, ga. And they advised they would not fix it under warranty, since it was an electrical part, and that I would have no use of airbags, until it was diagnosed for 100 dollars and then repaired for an unknown amount that is more than the 100 dollars, and I decided not to go and get it fixed because it is 70 miles to the nearest dealer, and therefore dangerous to drive there with no air bag use possible.

On 12-08-09, I entered into my 2007 Suzuki reno. I was sitting in my driveway. I turned the ignition to accessory mode(I did not start the engine), within seconds my driver's side(seat) airbag deployed. I have not had any accidents in the vehicle, nor any other damage that would cause an airbag deployment. I have sustained minor injuries due to the impact of the airbag. I have been advised by my insurance company to contact Suzuki corporate office. I have spoken with numerous reps with Suzuki, all of whom say they cannot do anything. I have been told by my local dealer that they will tow the car to the service department for inspection. But due to the fact my car is not covered under my initial warrant of 36000 miles, any and all repairs - this includes malfunctions and defects - w

At around 55,000 miles airbag sensor light came on and stayed on, vehicle has not been in an accident, read online this is a common problem with this vehicle.

I got in my car, turn ignition switch on and boom my side air bag deployed, this vehicle has never been in an accident. *tr

Luckily I was parked. Turned on my car to roll up the windows and suddenly the drivers side seat exploded,with what looked like an airbag inside the seat. It hit my arm causing a bruise. The seat is now torn and busted.

Since the purchase, my flat tire indicator lights. The front drivers tire and rear passenger tires need air about every two weeks. About 1 year after purchase the interior lights, passenger side rear lights went out. After replacing fuses and bulbs there is still no light. Not long after that, the passenger side airbag failure light came on. 2 months after purchase the purge valve had to be replaced twice. *tr

The check engine light is on all the time. My vehicle has been acting like it does not want to go into gear. While I am driving it, it will shift out of gear into neutral. When I shift gears it will make a loud "clunk" noise and occasionally jerk the car. The closest Suzuki dealership near me (since mine closed) is about 2 to 3 hours away. Im sure my vehicle will not make it to the dealership. *kb
