The vehicle is under a recall campaign (xa-xc) for drl module/ignition switch replacement. The owner is physically unable to get the vehicle to the nearest dealership for the repairs to be performed (he is prohibited by his physician to drive such long distances). Suzuki will not allow any other facility, no matter how well qualified, to perform the repairs. Suzuki offers no solution - like offering to tow the vehicle - aside from an offer to reimburse for fuel. I am a neighbor and can attest to the owner's physical limitations (he had a stroke). He is also elderly and from another country - so his comprehension of the issue is limited. He's worried the car isn't reliable enough for his daily trips to his doctor and voiced worry about his options to get it fixed. It is my hope the intervention of someone from the NHTSA might sway Suzuki to offer a variance from their policy - so they would offer to Transport the vehicle to and from the nearest dealership for the repairs to be completed (since I was told a dealer must be the ones performing the repair).

Driving down interstate had smell coming from the dash like melting wires. Dash high/low beams stopped working, luckily daytime running worked but not good enough to see well at night periodically they will come back on for a few then cut back off. Most often they do not come back on at all and doesn't stay on long..afraid of fire or if working going out while driving and wrecking with my kids in the car. We purchased this car last year from a used car dealership and it was fixed under the recall or 07 in Jan 2008, called dealerships and Suzuki and they are telling me even though there is a new recall out for the same thing.. for 2004-2006 Forenzas manufactured between the dates of Sept 2003 and March 2006 that my car that was manufactured 11/2005 doesn't fall under the recall? just need to know what to do since its obviously a manufacturer defect. Or if maybe some information was crossed and hopefully ours can be fixed under the recall.
