Consumer Description

ROUGH IDLING PROBLEMS / NO START PROBLEMS AFTER OWNING NEW 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA THREE DAYS. FIRST TIME HAPPENED AT GAS STATION. TOOK FOUR ATTEMPTS TO GET CAR RUNNING . HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP. REPLACED SPARK PLUG AND INSTALLED NEW COMPUTER. SAME PROBLEMS OCCURRED TWO DAYS LATER. HAVE HAD NEWER PROBLEMS OCCUR. CAR ON FOUR OCCASIONS HAS ALMOST DIED WHILE DRIVING, WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T. I CONTACTED MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE ROUGH IDLE/NO START PROBLEM. AM IN PROCESS WITH THEM NOW TO TRY TO GET A REFUND. PROBLEM IS THOUGHT TO BE WITH SOFTWARE GLITCH DOWNLOADING IMPROPER FUEL DATA INTO CARS COMPUTER. REP FROM MANUFACTURER SAID SOFTWARE DOWNLOADED USAGE OF SUMMER FUEL RATHER THAN WINTER WHICH IS WHY I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM WITH INTERMITTENT ROUGH IDLE , NO START, CAR TRYING TO DIE WHILE DRIVING. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THERE IS A FIX FOR AUTOMATICS BUT NOT FOR MANUALS LIKE MINE. ALTHOUGH ROUGH IDLE AND NO START PROBLEMS ARE MORE OF AN ANNOYANCE , THE CAR TRYING TO DIE IS MORE OF A CONCERN WHICH I FEEL IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *JB
