Vehicle tended to shake,making it difficultto control and steer the vehicle . Also, vehicle had a hard time stopping when brakes were applied. Taken for repairs twice, but the cause was still undetermined.
Startedthe car to warm it up, and smoke came out of dash board, making glass where speedometer is smokeyand it still is. Smelt like wire burning and shut it off immediately. When checked on, a wire insulation had burnt off causing the smoke and smell. After replacing the wire coating, it was fine for a while, then coming back from a trip to augusta the speedometer numbergot dimmer, but i did not smell any smoke. So not sure what the defect is, just know this can't be right.

Dt:2003 suzuki aerio, vehicle will not go into reverse after the vehicle has been parked unless the consumer pulls vehicle forward first, this problem occurs all the time, consumer tookvehicle to the dealer directly after purchasing the vehicle.dealer said the cable busted. Then the dealer changeda cable cord.this still did not fix the problem. To dealer,consumer took the vehicle a second time, anddealer changed out the gear box, this still did not fix the problem.the third time the dealer said they could not find the cause of the problem, vehicle is still under warranty .

2003 suzuki aerio cv joint keeps coming out due to snap ring in rear end,car is under warranty. Car dealer will not honor warranty,says rear axle is a after market part, this is not true,why would we have car worked on when under warranty, we are third owner of car and know the two previous owners which is a father and son,they are adamant no work has been done on this car,they would have taken the car to get fixed since it is still under warranty, its very easy for the mechanic to get some rear end axle and say it came out of my car ,just to avoid fixing my car,their claim is if someone else worked on this car that voids the warranty, so this is their convenient way of getting out of fixing my car.
At approx. 23,000 miles front right wheel bearing failed. With in 20 miles after repair failed again, and has done so for the next five wheel bearings. The dealer & or suzuki represenitives don't not know what to do with this situation, on this 2003 suzuki. This car is still under warranty i feel they are stalling hoping to ware me down.

Driving home on i-72 westbound from champaign, il. 2003 suzuki aerio had been in cruise control mode at 65mph. Took off cruise to pass a semi trailer.

Lost all power, but was able to pull safely off onto the shoulder just east of the exit ramp to rt 47.car was towed in to shop in clinton, il. Mechanic looked up technical service bulletin ts 02 06284- m/t left driveshaft pops out of final drive. Car has just over 108,000 miles, so it is out of warranty.this was a potentially fatal situation to have been in. It appears that this is becoming a problem with these models, but no recall has been issued.this has been reported to suzuki via their 800-934-0934 number. Case number is 1-140908504. They stated they are not obligated to cover any costs because the car is out of the 7 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty.reason for submitting this compliant- to make nshta aware of a potentially fatal situation with the suzuki aerio.

I own a 2003 aerio suzuki sx 5-speed with manual transmission. It's been popping out of 5th gear and into neutral. I brought it to the dealer where purchased. They said they test drove it and could not "duplicate concern".the very rude service advisor told me even if problem was found they do not have equipment to repair it and to take it someplace else. She also made a comment about not needing "free work",leading me to believe because it is under warranty, they did not want to do extensive work for free!! i called suzuki and they said most dealers probably wouldn't test drive it more than 20 miles and it is hard to fix an intermittent problem and to try another dealer. Driving at high speeds and having gears pop out should get more attention than an" intermittent problem". Other dealers are more than 30 miles away and hard to leave vehicle there. I read about this same problem on line and one of the people 's dealer diagnosed the problem as premature wear in the 5th gear synchro assembly and repaired his vehicle.
While driving 55 mph consumer heard a loud popping noise coming from the front. Suddenly, the vehicleshifted gears. Consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and drove it to the dealer for inspection........problem happened every time consumer put vehicle in 5th gear. Dealer repaired it, but problem recurred, though not as regularly. Dealer refuses to repair it, claiming car is operating within specs.
When applying the brakes a loud banging sound was produced and the vehicle veered to the right.brake grabs and pulls the car off the road to the right. Brakes snap and pop causing the car to stop in a peculiar fashion.the car needs to be recalled before serious problems occur total brake failure.
Vehicle tended to shake,making it difficultto control and steer the vehicle . Also, vehicle had a hard time stopping when brakes were applied. Taken for repairs twice, but the cause was still undetermined.
Development of "brake shake" under normal conditions, i.e. Usage under 15,000 miles annually; warped front discs due to inferior manufacture/materials; attempted to resolve under warranty; advised by several dealerships to have brake pads changed again, normal brake pad seating reaction, other lies, etc.
Approximately in june 2005 a noise and vibration developed when running the a/c and it turned out to be the s-belt tensioner, which was replaced at my expense, at crawford suzuki on airways blvd. In el paso, texas.on june 12, 2006, while returning from tucson, az, my wife noticed a vibration and noise. I took the car to crawford suzuki on 6/15/2006 (smcs345882). After the car was examined by the technician i was told that the problem was a misaligned, factory installed power steering bracket. According to the serviceman able aguirre, i would have to fully pay for the repair as the car is over the warranty period.on saturday 17, i spoke to javier, the owner of thrifty car sales and he agreed that suzuki should repair at their expense what is obviously a factory defect. At crawford they agree that this is a matter of a factory defect and therefore the manufacturer is responsible for it.on friday 23, i spoke to a person who identified himself as ''manny'' the service manager told me that all he could do was to contact the suzuki district manager and he would get back to me. He also, stated that this specific problem was addressed in a ''service bulletin'' they had received about a month after these units were placed on the market and a replacement bracket was available, but there was no recall.sometime later, manny told my wife that their solution is that they will provide the parts and i will have to pay for labor. This is unacceptable as i already paid a couple of hundred dollars for a problem that now we know was caused by this factory defect. I think that since they knew of the defect early enough, they are fully responsible since they neither the suzuki dealerships nor the factory, disclosed this defect prior to the sale of the automobile to the prospective customers, neither did they make an effort to cause the repair.
I took my car in to birmingham suzuki because my car was shaking and when you turn the car it would make a popping noise.they repair shop told me it was the racking pinion and the tie rod. They also told me that the care was unsafe to drive until it was repaired.my extended warranty covered it.i took my care back in on sept. 6, 2005 because my car would not start.the repair shop at birmingham suzuki informed me that when they ran the diagnostic that my ecm had loose wiring.they put it back in and then the car ran fine.the extended warranty did not cover that because they stated that there were no parts replaced.
