What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 suzuki forenza. The contact stated that his vehicle caught fire. Two hours prior to the fire, he took the vehicle to the dealer and they checked the dashboard computer. It was discovered that the computer failed and another one had to be ordered; however, the contact was informed that he could still drive the vehicle. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle began to smoke and the wiring harness around the blow motors melted and burned.
Dt*: the contact stated shortly after purchasing the vehicle, it would not start. The dealership determined there was a problem with the computer and reprogrammed the computer. The vehicle failed to start a second time and the dealership determined the computer needed to be reprogrammed again. The check engine light illuminated, so the vehicle was towed to another dealership, who determined the problem was again with the computer. The computer was reprogrammed a third time.
