Consumer Description

FIRST OCCASION APPROX 1/04 - BACKING UP OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND CAR ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY ON ITS OWN. I PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE AND STILL COULD NOT STOP VEHICLE-HAD TO PUT CAR IN PARK TO STOP. IF SOMEONE WAS IN BACK OF ME I WOULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. SIMULTANEOUS WITH THIS INCIDENT, I RECEIVED A RECALL FROM SUZUKI FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM AND TOOK CAR IN FOR RECALL SERVICE. SECOND OCCASION, 3/25/04 - WAITING IN LINE TO GO INTO CAR WASH WHEN CAR DID THE SAME THING-ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME, IF THEY HAD BEEN I WOULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. AGAIN BEING UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR WITH BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE I HAD TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK TO STOP IT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT NEW AND THEY HAVE DETERMINED THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. NOTE - THIS WAS NOT REPORTED TO POLICE, THERE WAS NO FIRE OR CRASH - I COULDN'T GET THOSE ITEMS TO COME UP CORRECTLY.*AK
