problem #2

Esteem 4-cyl

  • 129,000 miles
Husband was driving vehicle when the front tire gave way and bent in from frame. Took to the repair shop and was informed that the entire frame was rotted out. The vehicle could not be repaired as the part is not available. The car only had 129,000 miles on it. This is a common problem with the car and it should have been recalled. Fortunately, no accident occurred and no injuries were sustained. Shame on Suzuki for producing inferior cars. This is a serious safely issue!

Esteem

  • 60,000 miles
Front subframe on a 2001 Suzuki, Esteem cracked. Call Suzuki dealer to see if there were any recalls for that problem and the answer was no. Which I think there should be due to the fact that the car is not that old to have does kind of problems. Part and labor will be really expensive close to a $1,000 dollars for repair. When I talked to the person in the parts department, told me that they had a lot of people looking for the same part for repair lately, this is why I think is a recall issue and Suzuki should warranty this kind of parts they are suppose to last for a really long time I suppose. Please help!!!!! I still haven't fixed the car because of costly repair.
