Suzuki suspension problems

Owners have filed 256 complaints with NHTSA about the suspension on Suzuki vehicles — 4% of everything reported about the brand, across 43 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Suzuki Sidekick, worst in 1996.

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.
