The car has on numerous occasions while traveling at highway cruising speed on a sunny day will go into a failsafe mode, and no error is detected by the car, loses the ability to downshift, and loses acceleration. Has become a reoccurring issue on all long trips as the car must be on the road over an hour before the instance will occur. Almost always when in the middle of nowhere which causes driver to have to pull over and wait for the car to cool before the car will allow itself or the driver to downshift even in automatic or manu-matic configuration. Please issue the same recall for the 2010 that you did for the 2013. I have a video of the instance occurring if needed.

2010 Suzuki Kizashi has electrical issues with the headlights, turn lights, and rear brake lights, reverse lights, and daytime running lights. Bulbs burn out consistently within 6 months and must be repaired too often

Headlight bulbs burn out much too often. Since 2010, I have taken the car into the dealer eleven times to replace one or several burned out light bulbs. On one occasion all four primary bulbs burned out at one time. I have receipts of every visit. During the last change on 12/2/15 the dealer informs me that Suzuki would no longer cover the bulb replacement and labor. The bumper needs to be removed to replace bulbs, so this is not a cheap exercise, not to mention the safety problems of bulbs burning out so often.
