Suzuki Vehicle Problems? You're Not Alone

Suzuki Lemon Law Claims in California

If you’re dealing with a defective Suzuki vehicle in California, you have important legal rights under state and federal warranty laws.

At Mission Law Group, we have successfully represented numerous clients in claims against Suzuki, helping them obtain the compensation they deserve.

Suzuki’s Lemon Law Track Record

While specific data on Suzuki lemon law claims in California is limited, here are some relevant statistics:

  • Suzuki recalled 2012–2013 SX4 vehicles for power steering pump failures that could increase crash risks. (Source)
  • A recall affected 2010–2013 Kizashi vehicles due to fuel tank issues that could cause leaks and fires. (Source)

Remember, if you’re tired of dealing with the same problems, it might not just be bad luck—it could be a lemon. Know your rights.

Common Suzuki Vehicle Issues That Qualify Under Lemon Law

If you’re experiencing any of these recurring problems with your Suzuki vehicle:

  • Transmission failures
  • Engine performance issues
  • Electrical system malfunctions
  • Safety system failures
  • Steering problems
  • Brake system defects
  • Navigation/infotainment system problems
  • Suspension issues
  • Structural defects

You may have a strong lemon law case against Suzuki.

Warning Signs Your Suzuki Vehicle Is a Lemon

Your Suzuki vehicle might qualify as a lemon if:

  • It’s been in the shop 2+ times for the same safety issue
  • You’ve had 4+ repair attempts for any persistent problem
  • Your vehicle has been at the dealership for 30+ days total
  • The problems started while under warranty
  • The issues affect your vehicle’s safety, value, or use

Your Rights Under California Lemon Law

California’s Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1793.2) provides strong protections for consumers who purchase or lease defective vehicles.

Under this law, Suzuki must either replace your defective vehicle or provide a refund if they cannot repair it after a reasonable number of attempts during the warranty period.

You may have a valid lemon law claim if:

  • Your Suzuki vehicle has a substantial defect covered by the warranty
  • The defect impacts the vehicle’s use, value, or safety
  • Suzuki has made multiple unsuccessful repair attempts
  • Your vehicle has been in the repair shop for 30 days or more
  • The problems occurred during the warranty period

Why Suzuki Owners Need to Act Now

  1. California’s lemon law is changing in 2025, potentially reducing consumer protections
  2. Suzuki’s internal policies often resist initial lemon law claims
  3. The manufacturer has an entire legal team – you need someone on your side

What Suzuki Might Tell You – And What You Should Know

Dealing with a problematic Suzuki vehicle can be frustrating, especially when you’re told things like:

“This is normal for your vehicle” 

Reality check: If your car isn’t working properly and it’s affecting how you use it, its value, or your safety – that’s not “normal.” California law protects you against substantial defects, regardless of what’s considered “normal” for that model.

“Just let us try one more repair” 

Here’s the truth: You don’t have to keep giving endless repair chances. Our attorneys understand you have a life outside attempting to get the manufacturer to fix your car. Four (4) times to fix the same problem or being without your vehicle for over 30 days is just plain unreasonable.

“This isn’t a serious enough problem”

Don’t let anyone minimize your concerns. If the problem makes your car less useful, less valuable, or less safe, it could qualify under lemon law – even if the dealership doesn’t think it’s “serious enough.”

“Your modifications voided your rights” 

Not so fast. Unless your modifications actually caused the problem, you still have rights under California’s lemon law. Simple modifications don’t automatically disqualify your claim.

Look, we get it. When you’re told these things by people who seem knowledgeable, it’s easy to feel discouraged. But you have real rights under California law, and we’re here to help you understand and protect them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Suzuki models qualify?

California Lemon Law applies to new, used, and leased Suzuki vehicles that are still under the manufacturer’s warranty and have persistent defects that impact their safety, use, or value.

Although Suzuki no longer sells new passenger vehicles in the U.S., certain models may still qualify under Lemon Law if they were purchased with a valid manufacturer’s warranty. Common Suzuki models that may qualify include:

  • Suzuki SX4
  • Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • Suzuki Kizashi
  • Suzuki Equator
  • Suzuki Swift (imported models)
  • Suzuki Burgman (Scooter)
  • Suzuki GSX-R Series (Motorcycles)
  • Suzuki V-Strom Series (Motorcycles)
  • Suzuki KingQuad (ATVs)

Even if your specific Suzuki model is not listed, you may still have a valid claim. Contact us for a free case evaluation.

What if Suzuki already denied my claim?

A denial from Suzuki does not mean your case is over. Many manufacturers initially reject claims, hoping consumers will not pursue legal action.

We can help by:

  • Reviewing your repair history and warranty coverage to assess whether your claim was improperly denied.
  • Gathering additional evidence and expert opinions to strengthen your case.
  • Negotiating with Suzuki or pursuing legal action if necessary.

Even if Suzuki has denied your claim, you may still be entitled to compensation. Contact us for a free consultation to explore your options.

How much will this cost me?

Nothing upfront. Suzuki pays all attorney fees in a successful case.
