Its not an option, I bought my car from nearby country (it has a better look, fog lambs, 2 air bags, and automatic gear) all which not available in my country, so the agency refuse to fix any thing because of different specifications.

The car available in my country:

Can you describe to me if the performance of your car is constant? I mean air-conditioning for example, the purrs you feel through the steering wheel..

"
well item 5.) the steering wheel easy/hard to turn and item 3.) air con issue are most likely related as they're both on the same drive belt.

and 4.) shaking when stationary and 1.) shaking when driving are probably related - so maybe engine mounts or similar issues.

and a dodgy sensor or EGR valve can give performance issues as in 2.) someone here will be able to remember which one

but think you need to visit a garage/mechanic to sort things

;)"

Thank you 4 your response, I hope you can further help me.

I'll specify all my problems : when I first start the car the steering wheel is very easy to turn, but as soon as I move it became harder until the next time I start the car from off.

The problem of the steering wheel not turning completely while reverse happened to me 3 times ( my car just finished 4000 KM)its not a big deal but I'm afraid of the problem to be expanded.

Shaking while stationary in the steering wheel is small and the RPM is constant (I guess its normal for an old architecture engine), but shaking from underneath happen when I drive for so long and then had to stop at traffic light for example.

For the overall shaking of the car while driving maybe its because of bad storage of the car (its 2015 model, so it stayed on its tiers for more than a year) I met two guys bought it from the same dealer (both change their tiers, one got the problem fixed the other not) so I should give it a try :) .

And I new problem , I smell gas when I wait in the car while on for like 10 minutes, from the air condition and out side the car, a very strong smell and goes after you move again, and I got an extreme headache from gas smell.

my car production date is : oct/2014 , is there any recalls for my car modle

I hope you all can help me, its my first new car and I'm very sad about is :(

also how good is my english, its not my first language :)

I would start by checking the tension of the auxiliary drive belt. Is your vehicle OBD2? if it is then buy a cheap scan tool so you can the live data stream for indications of a fault with the engine management system.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.
