What owners wrote
I got my car in may, 2006. It was brand new when I bought it, but it was in the shop only six days after. I began to notice that my car would jerk when it was shifting gears (although it was an automatic). Over about a week's time, it got much worse and I had to bring it in for repairs. I was told that the transmission had not been updated. I brought it back three more times with the same problem.
I have a 2005 suzuki reno. The driver's side and passenger side air bag warning light is on constantly. I have taken it back to suzuki who admits there is a TSB for this fault but have said to me that they repair it and within a few miles the fault returns. This presents a significant danger of injury to the driver and front seat passenger as the air bag may not deploy in the event of an accident or may deploy for no reason while driving.
