2007 Suzuki Aerio

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2007 Aerio.

Body PASSENGER CARTransmission Automatic 4-spd

The 2007 Suzuki Aerio is a passenger car equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission, returning an EPA-estimated 22 city and 28 highway mpg for a 24 mpg combined average. This model year stands out as the statistical low point for owner complaints across the Aerio's 2002-2007 run, logging just three total grievances and zero recalls—a stark contrast to the 36 complaints that plagued the 2003 model. While the electric service brakes represent the primary complaint area for this specific year, its position as the least problematic iteration in the model's history suggests a mature, well-sorted vehicle that provides researchers with a notably stable reliability profile.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant every 30,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 30,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2007 Suzuki Aerio sits at the tail end of a generation that saw complaint counts fluctuate between 14 and 36 per year from 2002 through 2006, with recalls declining from two to one. In 2007, complaints dropped sharply to just three—the lowest of any year—and recalls fell to zero, while technical service bulletins also hit a low of three. This marks a clear downward trend in reported issues, though the data does not specify whether this reflects genuine improvements or lower sales volume. The three complaints are spread across service brakes (electric and hydraulic) and air bags/tires, with no crash or fire incidents reported. Given the minimal complaint count and absence of recalls, the 2007 model year stands out as the most trouble-free in the generation, making it a strong candidate for a used purchase if you can find a well-maintained example.
