Suzuki transmission problems

Owners have filed 1,098 complaints with NHTSA about the transmission on Suzuki vehicles — 17% of everything reported about the brand, across 65 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.
