Suzuki Esteem Electrical problems by year

Purchased a new suzuki esteem in 2001. About 30000 miles the key beagn to stick in the ignition and you could not take it out. Once you turned the car on, you could not move into park. Have had it "fixed" 3 times now. There is a little white button on the inside of steering wheel that once pushed will release the key from the locked position but in order to get to it you must take off the cover.*Ak

The consumer turned the key to the "on" position and the bike's ignition engaged and caused sudden acceleration which resulted in a crash. The consumer indicated that turning the key to the "on" position is only suppose to give the vehicle power. The consumer normally has to hold the clutch lever in and press start button for the motorcycle to engage. The dealer advised that the entire wiring harness has to be replaced. The vehicle is a 2002 suzuki volusia vl800 bk2 motorcycle. *Nlm *tt

Took it to the service dept. Repeatedly and they never found problems so convienantly we had numerous problems and ended up turning the car in and lossing everything we put in to it and messing up our credit due to we were tired of fighting with the dealership and the manufacturer. So other people need to be aware of these dangerous problems with this car. It stranded me and my 2 children seveeral times not including my mother in law once when we let her borrow it . No one would listen to us so maybe you will ! I have written statements of these problems that other people had seen this car do ! No safety defected mentione din summary. *Ak
