front axles on both sides suddenly failed at less than 1mph
The left front axle suddenly broke as car was in parking lot. About to make left turn. Turned wheel slightly to left, axle broke. That was July of last year. October of this year, at corner about to make right turn, turned wheel slightly to right, right axle broke. Car never in any accident involving front end - never in any serious accident. Although this is extremely serious problem Suzuki doesn't seem to care. They have the opportunity to have an automotive engineer examine the car, try to determine reason for failures and devise a repair, and their concern seems to be that vehicle is no longer under warrantee so they won't pay for the repairs. Their answer to the gravity of the failure is that they will "make a note of it". Meanwhile the Aerio is on the road causing potential danger to EVERYONE!! Urge EVERY Suzuki and Liana "05 owner to NOT drive this car on a highway and to take the car to a mechanic to have front drive assembly carefully checked under strong light, preferably with magnifying glass.
