TL contact has read previous 2007 complaints and feels that a recall is in order and should not have to pay dealership for repairs.TL contact will update after dealership effects repairs. Update file 06/24/2012 amended July 16 2012 TL contact had said part vacuum pedal position sensor and volt coalition replaced. Dealership stated said part had been modified by Suzuki Corp. (seems to acknowledge is a problem) and had 100% effective repair when modified part is replaced. TL contact has not had a problem with check engine light since repair. TL contact feels 700 plus dollars for repair is significant reason for investigation for recall and should have in lew of other TL contacts same problem. Should have full reimbursement of all monies spent in regard to said vacuum pedal position sensor and volt coalition
