Suzuki Sx4 problems

suzuki logo

The Suzuki SX4 is a subcompact car and crossover produced by Japanese automaker Suzuki since 2006. A successor of the Aerio tall hatchback and sedan, the first-generation model was available as a hatchback and sedan, with the former available in both front- and four-wheel drive and as a rebadged version in Europe called the Fiat Sedici.

In 2013, the second generation was launched, called Suzuki SX4 S-Cross (or Suzuki S-Cross in India)— now exclusively a subcompact crossover SUV. The first- and second-generation SX4s sold alongside one another until 2014. The SX4 sedan was replaced with the Suzuki Ciaz. The third-generation model was introduced in 2021 as a heavily modified version of the previous model and was only produced in Hungary for the European market. For the Indian market, the S-Cross was replaced by the taller Grand Vitara.

The SX4 is an abbreviation of "Sports X-over 4 Seasons". The SX4 designation was previously used by American Motors Corporation (AMC) from the 1981 through 1983 model years for a sporty liftback model in its line of all-wheel-drive AMC Eagle passenger cars. While the "S-Cross" suffix is an abbreviation of Smart Crossover.

Common Suzuki Sx4 problems

Based on the complaints from owners of Suzuki SX4 cars, several common problems have been reported:

  • 5th Gear Malfunction: Some owners of the 2008 Suzuki SX4 have experienced problems with the 5th gear not working properly, which can impact the vehicle's performance.
  • Excessive Fuel Consumption: Concerns about excessive fuel consumption have been raised by owners of the 2009 Suzuki SX4, highlighting a potential issue with fuel efficiency.
  • Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Problems: Diesel models of the Suzuki SX4 are equipped with a DPF that requires frequent motorway journeys to regenerate properly. Failure to do so can lead to clogging of the filter, potentially resulting in expensive repairs. Shutting off the regeneration process midway can contaminate the oil system with fuel, causing engine damage.
  • Power Steering Pump Failures: Suzuki has reported issues with the power steering pumps in cold weather conditions, leading to potential failures. This problem can affect the vehicle's steering performance and safety.
  • Electrical Issues: Some owners have faced problems related to electrical components in the Suzuki SX4, impacting various systems within the vehicle.
  • Suspension Concerns: Reports of suspension issues have been noted by owners, affecting the ride quality and stability of the Suzuki SX4.
  • Interior Squeaks and Rattles: Owners have complained about interior squeaks and rattles, which can be bothersome and affect the overall driving experience.
  • Scratch-Prone Plastics: The interior of the Suzuki SX4 has cheap plastics that scratch easily, especially problematic for a family car that needs to withstand wear and tear.
  • DPF Regeneration and Oil Contamination: Improper DPF regeneration can lead to oil contamination with fuel, potentially causing long-term engine damage. Monitoring the DPF system and oil levels is crucial to prevent such issues.

These reported problems highlight various issues that Suzuki SX4 owners have encountered, ranging from mechanical to interior-related concerns.

Suzuki Sx4 2012
  • Date Of Incident: 2023-05-01
  • Date Complaint: 2024-02-18
  • VIN: JS2YB5A36C6
  • Components: AIR BAGS
  • Summary: The airbag sensor in the passenger seat failed. There is a known Supplemental Restraint System issue/recall in 2007-2011 Suzuki SX4s, however there has not been a recall for the 2012 model despite this being an issue beyond the aforementioned years. Affected vehicles may develop an electrical circuit disconnection within the front passenger sensing system sensor mat that is built into the front passenger seat bottom cushion. The disconnection is due to repeated flexing of the sensor mat from use of the front passenger seat. If this condition occurs, the “AIR BAG” light in the instrument cluster and, the front passenger’s seat belt reminder light will come on. Also, the “PASS AIR BAG OFF” indicator light will remain off because the front passenger air bag will remain enabled. In a frontal impact of significant magnitude, the front air bag will deploy with full force - even with a child, or small adult, in the front seat. Air bag deployment with a child or small adult in the front passenger seat increases the risk of severe injury or death to that occupant. Replacement front seats are backordered, likely because of the recall in 2007-2011 vehicles, and despite placing an order for a new seat in May 2023, I have been waiting 9 months for a pallet to ship from Suzuki. Given the danger of traveling with a passenger given the vehicle's condition, and the fact that this was a known issue for the 5 prior years of this vehicle, this is an unacceptable amount of time to wait for a replacement part, and this should be investigated as a potential necessary recall for 2012 Suzuki SX4s.

Latest negative Suzuki Sx4 car reviews

  1. Kirk Gulgowski 2025-07-08

    Vehicle year: 2012

    The Suzuki SX4 Sport is a great choice for anyone looking for an affordable car that looks good and drives well. I personally drove 100 miles without any issues, and the CVT is definitely a plus. While the car may run a bit rough at idle and you may feel some road bumps with the sports wheels, it's worth noting that the car did not leak when I drove it through the car wash. Overall, I highly recommend this car as a peppy and reliable option for both starters and commuters. Even sports car enthusiasts may find something to love about it. So why not go for it? The price point is definitely a major selling point. -Oasis 3-16-10

  2. Loy Bergstrom 2025-07-01

    Vehicle year: 2009

    I purchased this car brand new in 2009. Over the years, I had to replace the transmission, a/c compressor, water pump, and even the engine. Unfortunately, the car also had poor gas mileage and wore out tires and brakes faster than expected, making it quite expensive to maintain. However, I am grateful that it was affordable to purchase when it was new. If given the choice, I would not buy this car again.

  3. Stephan Ward 2025-06-20

    Vehicle year: 2009

    I recently traded in my 2005 C-class 4matic Mercedes for the touring model of the SX4 crossover. I was looking for a smaller car with AWD to tackle the Colorado winters, and so far, I'm really happy with my choice. Although it has only been a few days, the car has been great. It's sporty and fun to drive around town, but it does struggle a bit when climbing the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. However, the SX4 has the same fuel economy as my old Benz. I considered the Honda Fit, but it had a rough ride on even smooth roads and produced horrible road noise even at low speeds. In contrast, the SX4 has a surprisingly smooth ride and minimal road noise. It's also a bit more exotic than the Hondas and Toyotas, at least around Denver. Overall, I'm impressed with the car, and the view from inside gives the impression of a bigger car.

    Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to share my experience with this vehicle. I've had it for two months now and have driven it in all kinds of traffic conditions. I must say, I'm really impressed with how well equipped it is for a base model. Not to mention, it looks great and has ample power and performance, all at a fantastic price! I've found that the 5-speed manual transmission has much better acceleration than the automatic, making it a breeze to merge into highway traffic. Plus, it handles like a dream on country roads. For a small car, it has decent room and a very nice, quiet ride. Overall, I think this is a really well-built, solid car. Thanks for listening to my thoughts!

  4. Davon Oberbrunner 2025-07-26

    Vehicle year: 2010

    I'm so glad I bought this car right before winter started! It's been a lifesaver in the snow and it's so easy to maneuver through crowded streets and tight parking spots in downtown Boston. Despite its small size, it's surprisingly powerful and fun to drive. The design is well thought out, with enough space for my toddler in the backseat and even enough room for me when I sat back there. Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase!

  5. Zakary Gibson 2025-07-26

    Vehicle year: 2008

    Second review. I still absolutely love this car! Recently, I replaced the rear cat due to pipe rotting, but I did it myself to bring down the cost. The car now has 70k miles. This car is as basic as it could be, but that's fine with me. I can't think of any complaints. I knew I wanted a simple, no-excitement car, and it drives great, handles wonderfully, and does everything I ask it to do with no problems. My wife loves that it sits higher and is more comfortable than her expensive Mazda. Another update on 10/9/18: I still have the car, and it is still very reliable with no major problems. The tire light comes on and off, and the brake light just started to blink on and off. It's not low on fluid, so maybe it's a bad part. Either way, I have no complaints. I just replaced all fluids and am ready for winter. Update on 4/21: The car is doing great, but the brakes are still garbage. I had to buy new pads and rotors again. Last time, I bought expensive ones, but they still didn't last. I read that the SX4 always had brake issues. Besides that, I still love the car. I just installed a trailer hitch on it. I'm glad I bought this car; it's been very good to me.
