2007 Suzuki Forenza

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY AND I WAS DOING 65 MPH AND MY CAR STARTED STALLING AS I PRESSED THE GAS THEN I FLOORED THE GAS BECAUSE MY CAR WAS STARTING TO REVERSE DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR FROZE AND MY COMPUTER ON MY DASH HAD ALL THE LETTERS SCRAMBLED FOR DRIVE, REVERSE, PARK ETC AND HAD A LINE THROUGH IT I WAS SOOOO SCARED I HAD A BIG TRUCK BEHIND ME. *TR

DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT IN CAR. CHECKED FUSE AND NO BAD FUSE. WENT TO DRIVE THE CAR AND THEN NOTICED HAD NO BREAK LIGHTS, HEAD LIGHTS, AND WINDOWS DID NOT ROLL DOWN. I HAD HIGH BEAMS IF I WANTED TO DRIVE IT WHILE HOLDING THE LIGHT SWITCH FOR THE HIGH BEAMS.HAD ALL FUSES CHECKED, AND WAS THEN TOLD IT WAS IN THE WIRING!!! CAR HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP BEFORE FOR TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSORS. IT SEEMS TO BE ONE ISSUE AFTER ANOTHER WITH THIS CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN. TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COME ON FOR A FEW DAYS THEN GOES OUT FOR A FEW, AND THAT IS WITH NEW TIRES. NOT VERY HAPPY WITH THIS CAR AT ALL.. *JS

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

WHEN TURNING MY CAR ON AND PUTTING IT INTO REVERSE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR JERKED INTO GEAR AND WHERE THE R SHOULD APPEAR FOR REVERSE ON THE DASH, ALL THE LETTERS WERE SCRAMBLED TOGETHER. THE CAR DROVE IN REVERSE AND THEN WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE, IT JERKED AGAIN AND THEN WOULD HARDLY ACCELERATE. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR A COUPLE MINUTES, TURNING IT OFF, AND TURNING IT BACK ON, IT WOULD FINALLY ACCELERATE BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD STILL BE ON AND THE GEARS WOULD STILL JERK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AFTER A COUPLE DAYS AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE AND THEN IT WOULD ALL START AGAIN. THEN MY CAR IS STARTING TO SWITCH OVER INTO NEUTRAL WHEN DRIVING 60MPH+ AND NOW IT WILL DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. WHEN IT SWITCHES OVER TO NEUTRAL LIKE THIS WHILE I'M DRIVING, THE D FOR DRIVE ON THE DASH WILL BECOME SCRAMBLED LIKE IT DOES WHEN IT JERKS INTO REVERSE. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. *KB

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE RANGE SWITCH IN MY 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE FIRST TIME AT APPROXIMATELY 38K MILES, AND NOW AGAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 70K MILES. EACH TIME I'VE HAD THIS FIXED, IT HAS COST ME OVER $200. SUZUKI CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A DEFECT, AND CONTINUES TO TAKE MONEY FROM THEIR CLIENTS WHO PURCHASED FAULTY VEHICLES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND THE GEAR WOULD SHIFT HARD INTO DRIVE AND REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED, WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR. THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO HESITATE WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND THE GEARS WOULD SHIFT HARD INTO DRIVE AND REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, SHE ACTIVATED THE HEADLIGHTS AND NOTICED A FIRE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THE HEADLIGHTS THEN BECAME INOPERATIVE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I LOSE ALL POWER IN MOVEMENT. IF I STOP AND START DRIVING AGAIN I HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE CAR MOVING AGAIN, IT TAKES OFF VERY SLOWLY AND I CANNOT GET THE CAR TO GO OVER 25 MILES PER HR. WHEN I TAKE IT IN TO A MECHANIC THEY RUN TESTS BUT SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM FOUND. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I HAVE READ ON THE WEB OF MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I FILL THAT THIS IS UNSAFE AND WOULD LIKE THIS INVESTIGATED IF POSSIBLE. *TT
