2007 Suzuki Forenza

ONE OF THE TRANSMISSION SENSORS WENT OUT INITIALLY ABOUT 28000 MILES ON MY 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL FROM DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 60. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY A SEMI-TRUCK BECAUSE THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN WITH NO NOTICE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AT JUST UNDER 60000 MILES WHERE I AM HAVING THE ISSUES WITH THE SENSOR AND NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS IT HESITATES TO GO INTO DRIVE EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARS TO BE IN DRIVE ACCORDING TO THE DASH. *TT

THE CAR HAS A BIG PROBLEM CHANGING GEAR AND WHEN I DRIVE SOMETIMES IT SLOWS DOWN AND COUPLE OF TIMES I ALMOST GOT INTO ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF CAR SLOWING DOWN AND AT TIMES WHEN I TRY TO SWITCH GEARS IT CLUNKS SO HARD AND IT IS BECOMING VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR BECAUSE EITHER THE CAR WONT CHANGE GEARS OR LOOSES SPEED WHEN I AM DRIVING AND THAT CAN CAUSE A BIG ACCIDENT AND I CALL SUZUKI DEALERSHIP AND ITS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THEY ARE THE ONES MAKING POOR QUALITY PARTS FOR THE ENGINE, AND FROM OTHER CONSUMERS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND WORRIES. PLEASE HELP! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED AND THE TRANSMISSION HESITATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 45 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AND THE GEAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL ERRONEOUSLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR FAILED AND WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE CONTACT SPOKE TO THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT INCLUDE THE COST OF THE REPAIR UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER SHIFTING INTO GEAR, THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE FORWARD ABNORMALLY WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LAMP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT THESE 2007 SUZUKIS. THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSORS IS GOING OUT ON MY VEHICLE ALSO. THE MECHANIC ALSO STATED THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD. NOW I JUST HAD 1600.00 WORTH OF WORK TO THIS VEHICLE, TIMING BELT CHANGED, NEW TIRES, OIL CHANGED ETC. SUZUKI NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND RECALL THESE LEMONS!! THE MECHANIC STATED THE THROTTLE BODY WAS MAJOR BUT SAID HE WASN'T SURE IF IT WAS COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IF SUZUKI CANNOT GUARANTEE THEIR CARS FOR LESS THAN 100'000 MILES THAN I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SUZUKI! THINK I'LL PAINT MY CANARY YELLOW!!!!!! *TR

I JUST HAD THIS PART REPLACED IN JANUARY 2012 NOW 2 MONTHS LATER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOING ON IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. WENT TO AUTOZONE AND GUESS WHAT TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR AGAIN!!!!! I BOUGHT PART FROM DEALER IN JANUARY AND HAD MY LICENSED AUTO MECHANIC PUT IT IN, NOW CAR DOING EXACTLY SAME THING IT DID IN JANUARY CAR JERKING INTO REVERSE , SCRAMBLED GEAR LETTERS ON DASH BOARD, THIS PART IS DEFECTIVE WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO REPLACE IT EVERY 2 MONTHS!!!! MAKE IT A RECALL ALREADY , I AM NOT THE ONLY COMPLAINT!!!! *TR

MY TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. PRIOR TO FIND OUT THAT THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE ISSUE I INTERNET SEARCH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THAT THIS PART IS A FAILING PART ON MY TYPE OF CAR (2007 SUZUKI FORENZA) AND IT HAS BEEN REPORTED. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT BECAUSE IT WASN'T ON THE RECALL LIST THE PART WASN'T COVERED(I BOUGHT PART FROM DEALER AND HAD DIFFERENT MECHANIC DO THE REPAIRS). MY FRUSTRATION IS THAT COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BY SUZUKI FOR THIS ISSUE BUT IT HASN'T BEEN PLACED ON THE RECALL LIST. WHAT MERITS WHAT GOES ON A RECALL LIST? *TR
