2012 Suzuki Reno

The 2012 Suzuki Reno is an excellent surprise and it drives like a sports car. A versatile vehicle specifically designed to appeal to a wide segment of value-seeking car buyers, the 4-door, 5-passenger 2012 Suzuki Reno competes with Scion, Mazda3, Chevrolet Aveo, Chrysler PT Cruiser, Ford Focus, Hyundai Elantra, Mazda 3, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Matrix, and Volkswagen Golf. The sharp edges and smooth curves on the Reno can win over the young crowds, who have a major say in buying an automobile. The 2012 Suzuki Reno can be seen as a potential model that could help Suzuki achieve its sales targets.

 

The vehicle is equipped with a 126hp I4 engine that transfers power to the wheels with a choice of either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. Inside, the Reno has ample room for two people and their things. From a design point of view, substantial attention to detail has gone into the front portion of the cabin. If you are looking for a distinctive 4-door hatchback, the 2012 Suzuki Reno can appeal to you. Though industry buffs say the Reno is nothing more than a hatchback version of Suzuki's compact Forenza sedan, it comes with a sportier edge and offers more utility. Well-equipped to deliver a decent performance, the interiors on the 2012 Suzuki Reno look good notwithstanding a substantial amount of hard plastic. All new for 2012, the Suzuki Reno is available in three trims - the EX, LX, and the S.

• Report Date:
  Aug 14, 2012
• Component:
  Electrical System
• Potential Units Affected:
  101688
• Manufacturer:
  American Suzuki Motor Corp.
•  

Summary: Suzuki is recalling certain model year 2004-2006 forenza and model year 2005-2006 reno vehicles manufactured from september 23, 2003, through march 7, 2006. Increased resistance due to poor contact between the terminals of certain wires can generate heat that can melt the splice pack used to connect the power circuit wires for the headlamps. This can result in intermittent or total loss of low/high beam headlamp function.

Consequence: If the headlamps fail to function, this will lead to reduced driver visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Suzuki will notify owners, and suzuki dealers will reconnect the affected wires with two heat-shrink crimps, free of charge. The safety recall began on september 25, 2012. Owners may contact suzuki at 1-877-697-8985.
