The contact took the vehicle to the auto-part store for a free computer diagnostic and two codes were produced from the diagnostic.the pedal position sensor and volt coalition.contact had 3 days prior went to said auto-part store with a dead battery. The battery was replaced by an auto-parts representative.contact has taken the negative cable loose and the positive second. Put positive back on first the negative. Insuring all contacts were clean of excess debris. 4 days later the check engine light has returned.so am taking to the local Suzuki dealership for repairs.contact hopes this will fix the problem by allowing the dealership to effect repairs. TL contact has read previous 2007 complaints and feels that a recall is in order and should not have to pay dealership for repairs.TL contact will update after dealership effects repairs. Update file 06/24/2012 amended July 16 2012 TL contact had said part vacuum pedal position sensor and volt coalition replaced. Dealership stated said part had been modified by Suzuki Corp. (seems to acknowledge is a problem) and had 100% effective repair when modified part is replaced. TL contact has not had a problem with check engine light since repair. TL contact feels 700 plus dollars for repair is significant reason for investigation for recall and should have in lew of other TL contacts same problem. Should have full reimbursement of all monies spent in regard to said vacuum pedal position sensor and volt coalition
