Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My complaint about my suzuki,forenza is that i have taken it to the dealership at least twice for a sensor problem. my sensor for my day time lights constantly goes out and comes on whenever it wants. the second time i took it to the dealership they said they put on a new one but even now it constantly goes out then back on again; i cannot take it back to have it looked at because they say my warranty is over; also my low beam headlights no longer work because of a wiring problem the exists. someone looked at the problem and said it was a wire that lays against a part of the engine that goes to the low beam lights and it burned out. one day i notice smoke coming from the engine and i thought it needed oil. the next day i had no low beam lights to use. i can only use my high beam now because the dealer said my warranty ran out. this car is only 2 years old and i bought it with only 5 miles on it. those wiring should not be defective as of yet. i found out from a co-worker who has a forenza is having the same problem; he cannot use his low beam lights anymore and his warranty is over; he has to use his high beam also. phone interview update (8-may-07): the complainant indicated that sometimes even the high beams do not work now.
