Consumer Description

2008 SUZUKI SX4- TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP FOR COMPLAINT OF TICKING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER A $98 DIAGNOSTIC FEE THEY DETERMINED IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE OF BAD RODS DUE TO OIL STARVATION. AFTER TALKING WITH SERVICE MANAGER AND DEALERSHIP GENERAL MANAGER BOTH DECIDED THAT REPAIRS WERE NOT COVERED UNDER 100,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. ALSO THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON AND IT WAS ALSO DETERMINED THAT THE ENTIRE SEAT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED IN ADDITION TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTOR BEING REPLACED DUE TO BAD OXYGEN SENSOR. I HAVE PROOF OF ALL MAINTANCE AND SERVICE REPAIRS TO INCLUDE OIL CHANGES ETC. I REQUESTED A MEETING WITH GENERAL MANAGER AND WAS ASSURED THAT HE WOULD INVESTIGATE SITUATION AND GET BACK WITH ME IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. IT HAS BEEN A WEEK AND ONLY COMMUNICATION I HAVE RECEIVED IS A TEXT MESSAGE ON MY CELL PHONE STATING THAT NO PART OF THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WOULD APPLY EVEN THOUGH THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY INCLUDES ALL THINGS LISTED IN DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW OF THE CAR THIS IS EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL AND SHOWS THAT SUZUKI DOES NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCTS. A LOT MORE TO THIS STORY>>>>>> INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *TT
