Suzuki engine problems

Owners have filed 793 complaints with NHTSA about the engine on Suzuki vehicles — 12% of everything reported about the brand, across 77 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Suzuki Forenza, worst in 2007.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
