WHY ISN'T ANY THING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR!!!!! SUZUKI NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I INITIALLY JUST GOT ON HERE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND STARTED READING THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. PLEASE TAKE SOME KINDA OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. I HAVE HAD TO FIX MY TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR MORE THAN ONCE. THIS WEEK WILL MAKE THE 2ND TIME IN A YEAR! I WAS DRIVING IN A 35 MILE ZONE AND MY CAR WOULD NOT EVEN GO THE SPEED LIMIT A CAR ALOT RAMMED ME FROM BEHIND. IT SLOWS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND SOMETIMES WONT GO BACKWARDS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. IT SEEMS CLEAR THAT THERE IS AN ACTIVE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR IN SUZUKI FORENZAS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A LOUD "THUNK" SOUND AND THEN MY CAR WENT BASICALLY INTO NEUTRAL. HAD A CAR BEEN RIGHT BEHIND ME I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2012 AND I HAD IT REPLACED THEN, ONLY 9 SHORT MONTHS AGO. WHEN SPEAKING WITH THE PARTS AND SERVICE FOLKS AT DAVID NORMAN SUZUKI I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT WARRANTS A RECALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA IT HAD ABOUT 119000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF FIRST INCIDENT. IT WOULDN'T HARDLY MOVE FORWARD AND OR GO UP HILLS AND HAS STRUGGLED TO DO SO SINCE. THE CAR ROLLS BACK ON HILLS WHEN YOU TRY TO MOVE FORWARD. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR BARELY WANTS TO MOVE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA, SHORTLY AFTER I GOT IT I NOTICED IT WOULD CUT OFF WHEN I TURNED THE A/C ON. IF I LEAVE THE A/C ON IT JERKS AND STRUGGLES TO REACH THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. ASIDE FROM THAT ISSUE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR DOESN'T CHANGE GEARS WELL AND RPM SHOOTS WAY UP AND THE CAR DRAGS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST BE INVOLVED IN MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH MY CHILDREN NOR MY SELF DRIVING THIS CAR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. WHEN THIS OCCURRED I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN AND CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AT THAT POINT I PANICKED AND REALIZED I HAD THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND IT STILL WOULD NOT GO. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT MADE A BIG CLUNK AND JERK AND SLOWLY PULLED OFF. I WAS ON A BUSY INTERSECTION BETWEEN TWO HIGHWAYS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND DOES NEED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. *TR

I HAVE HAD TWO TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSORS PUT IN MY CAR AND NOW IT NEEDS A THIRD ONE. THE LAST ONE THE MECHANIC STATED SOMETHING IS "BURNING UP THE SENSOR." I ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH GETTING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. MY CAR NOW HAS 102,000 MILES AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT FROM DAY ONE. IT SEEMS THERE ARE A LOT OF TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR ISSUES THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING. THE PROBLEM IS THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE. LIKE I SAID THIS IS MY THIRD ONE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FROM SUZUKI AND THEY NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THESE SENSORS TO KEEP GOING OUT. *TR

SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
I BROUGHT A BRAND NEW 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA IN 2007 AND SINCE THEN HAVE HAD PROBLEMS EVER SINCE. IN THE FIRST WEEK I BROUGHT IT THE TIMING BELT HAD BROKE. SOON AFTER THE TRANSMISSION MESSED UP AND WAS TOLD THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THANKS TO MY EXTENDED VEHICLE WARRANTY (NOT BY SUZUKI) I WAS ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED WITHOUT PAYING OUT OF POCKET. NOW NOT EVEN TWO YEARS LATER I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE FRONT STRUT MOUNT AND STRUTS ARE GOING BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED (ESTIMATED AT $687.00). IN ADDITION TO THAT ALL FOUR OF MY DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN AND HAVE BEEN FOR SOME TIME AFTER BREAKING OFF WITH A SIMPLE TOUCH. WITH THE PAINT CHIPPING OFF ON THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES AS WELL. I HAVE NO MONEY TO PAY FOR ALL THE REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE AS I HAVE BEEN PAYING IT ON FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS AND IT IS ALMOST PAID FOR BUT I CANNOT CONTINUE TO ENDURE COUNTLESS REPAIRS I AM HAVING TO GO THROUGH WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. I DO NOT GO ANYWAY EXCEPT FROM WORK TO HOME IN MY CAR AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I AM HAVING ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS WHEN THE CAR WAS SUPPOSE TO BE BRAND NEW WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR EVEN AS SIMPLE AS GOING TO THE STORE BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SUZUKI AGAIN. *TR

SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND OTHER SIMILAR MODELS GOING BACK 4 YEARS. CAR HIT 80000 MILES AND THE TRANS RANGE SENSOR WENT OUT. CAR GOES INTO "LIMP MODE" BECAUSE THE COMPUTER THINKS THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT, WHEN THE REALITY IS A BAD SENSOR NOT AN ACTUAL MECHANICAL PROBLEM. THAT AND THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. SOMETIMES OCCURS JUST AS CAR IS STARTED AND PUT IN GEAR, AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON WITH EACH INCIDENT OR NEW STARTING OF THE VEHICLE.) THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT BECAUSE IT IS IN LIMP MODE, YOU CANNOT ACCELERATE QUICKLY AND THE CAR MAY EVEN ROLL BACKWARDS ON HILLS IF YOU HAVE TO STOP, AS HAPPENED TO ME THIS MORNING WHILE TAKING SON TO SCHOOL, HAD TO HOLD THE BRAKE AND REV THE (AUTOMATIC!) ENGINE UNTIL I FELT IT PULLING TO MAKE IT UP THE HILL. CAN SOMETIME STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON AND ISSUE GOES AWAY. HAVING A HARD TIME BELIEVING THAT AFTER 7 YEARS OF COMPLAINTS A RECALL HASN'T ALREADY BEEN ISSUED SINCE THIS IS AN OBVIOUS BLATANT DEFECT. *TR

AIR BAGS
FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR IS FAULTY. THIS CODE IS B1448 SENSOR/MATT FAULT CAUSED BY MATT WIRING FAILURE. THIS FAULT CAUSES THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM TO STAFF OFF, IT ALSO CAUSES THE PASSENGER SYSTEM TO READ THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE AN OCCUPANT AT ALL TIMES. THE MAIN AIRBAG COMPUTER READS THE SYSTEM FAULT AND IT DISABLES THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM. NO AIRBAG PROTECTION AT ALL, AND SUZUKI KNOWS. SEAMS TO BE A COMMON AND KNOWN DEFECT IN THE OCS AND SEAT MATT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SUZUKI AND ITS DEALERS ARE UNMOVED BY THE DANGER THAT THIS BRINGS TO ALL ITS CUSTOMERS. *TR

I BOUGHT MY CAR 3-29-09. AT 4,000 MI. I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS. AT 57,059 MI. 4-9-13 WAS THE 18TH TIME MY CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR SVC. I'M ON MY 3RD DEALER (ORIG. OUT OF SVC.) I AM HAVING MY 3RD TRANS INSTALLED.CAN SOMEONE SAY "LEMON LAW ?" 1ST THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AS NO CODES WERE SHOWN BY THE COMPUTER. MY CAR AT ONE POINT WAS AT THE DEALER FOR 34 DAYS STRAIGHT! AT TIMES IT WOULD NOT EVEN GO INTO GEAR OR WOULD JUST DIE. I HAVE HAD THE TCM,ECM,& TRANS RANGE SWITCH REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES.SINCE OCT 2012 HAVE GETTING AN INTERMITTENT CK ENG LIGHT, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO BRING IT IN ON 3-29-13 & THE ECM WAS REPLACED. ON 4-8-13 I WAS BARELY ABLE TO MAKE IT IN TO THE SHOP AS MY CAR WAS STUCK IN 3RD GEAR AND I WAS ON THE HWY THE CK ENG, LIGHT WAS ON. IT WAS THE TRANS RANGE SWITCH AGAIN! IT WAS JUST REPLACED OCT 2012. MON. EVE. THE CAR WOULD STALL IN NEUTRAL WHEN IN DRIVE, SLAM INTO GEAR, THE CK ENG LIGHT REMAINED LIT, IT WAS STUCK IN 3RD GEAR AND THE NEWEST DEVELOPMENT WAS THAT AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HWY, THE LIT D (DRIVE) BY THE ODOMETER WAS FLASHING NORMAL & THEN WITH A LINE THROUGH IT. I GOT TO THE DEALER, PULLED THE CODE & THE TRANS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN! I HAVE ABSOLUTELY HAD IT WITH THIS CAR AND AM ATTEMPTING TO RE-INSTATE MY ARBI- TRATION WITH THEM (I DROPPED IT WHEN THE SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE PROB.LAST YR). 14 OF VISITS WERE MAJOR. SUZUKI'S TECH EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THERE IS AN ENGINEERING DESIGN FLAW. MY CAR IS DANGEROUS AND I NO LONGER WANT MY LIFE IN SUZUKI'S HANDS. I CANNOT CONTINUE TO DRIVE A CARE THAT CAN BECOME FAULTY AT ANY TIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM DRIVING 55-65 MPH ON THE HWY AND THE CAR GETS STUCK IN THIRD GEAR! MY HUSBAND HAS ALSO HAD THE ENGINE DIE ON HIM WHILE DRIVING.(I TOOK A SHORT VIDEO WITH MY PHONE THAT SHOWS THE CK ENG LIGHT ON AND THE D FLASHING WITH A LINE THROUGH IT.EVERY TIME THAT THE CK ENG LIGHT COMES ON LATELY, IT'S A NEW CODE. *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND GO OFF EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. IT JUST WENT BACK ON TODAY. I NOTICED THE ACCELERATION WAS LESS WHEN I CAME OFF A STOP LIGHT ALMOST LIKE THE CAR WAS IN THE WRONG GEAR. I TOOK IT TO A PARTS SHOP TO SEE WHAT THE CHECK ENGINE WAS. IT CAME UP AS A TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER PEOPLE DESCRIBING THIS SAME EXACT EVENTS HAPPENING IN SUZUKI VEHICLES OVER 70,000 MILES. THIS COULD BE A REAL SAFETY RISK TO THE PUBLIC IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS TO CONFUSE ITSELF AS BEING IN THE WRONG GEAR AT HIGH SPEEDS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE IN DRIVE CAR SUDDENLY SWITCHES TO IDLE AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE WITH THE PRESSING OF GAS PEDDLE. IT WAS ONLY ABLE TO COAST. THE RANGE SELECTOR PART IS THE ISSUE. IT CANNOT FUNCTION REPEATEDLY SINCE THIS IS A REOCCURING EVENT. THE ONLY WAY TO DRIVE IS IN DRIVE 3RD GEAR WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON. THE GREAT CONCERN IS THAT WILL LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT SINCE THE TIME OF IT CEASING TO FUNCTION IS UNPREDICATABLE. FROM RESEARCH IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS A NEARLY UNIVERSAL PROBLEM WITH SUZUKI FORENZAS AND AS A SAFETY ISSUE IT NEEDS TO BE A PART PROPERLY REPLACED UNDER A RECALL BY DEALERS. *TR

MY TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR HAS FAILED FOR THE THIRD TIME IN AS MANY YEARS. EACH TIME I HAVE IT REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THIS MALFUNCTION CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SPONTANEOUSLY THROW ITSELF IN TO NEUTRAL OR REVERSE EITHER WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN VEHICLE IS AT A COMPLETE STOP. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR SUDDENLY JERKED VERY HARD THEN SLOWED TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP CAUSING THE CAR BEHIND ME TO SLAM ON ITS BRAKES AND HIT MY BUMPER. I STOPPED, RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND THEN WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE PAST 15MPH EVEN WITH MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE GAS PEDAL. LIKE I SAID BEFORE, THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS FAILED AND I AM GLAD THAT THE PERSON WHO WAS BEHIND ME STOPPED QUICKLY AND ONLY TAPPED MY BUMPER. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND IS JUST AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. SUZUKI NEEDS TO DO A MAJOR RECALL!! I DON'T UNDERSTATND HOW SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM YET IT IS NOT BEING INVESTIGATED! *TR

DRIVING DOWN RESIDENTIAL STREET VEHICLE STALLED AND BEGAN TO IDLE HIGH WHILE IN THE "D" POSITION. APPLIED BRAKES AND TRIED TO PUT IT IN TO "P" POSITION BUT DASH READ REVERSE. TURNED IGNITION OFF AND GEARS SHIFTED AS DESIGNED. 4 INCIDENTS FOLLOWED THIS ONE HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED.I WAS PUTTING GAS IN WITH THE ENGINE OFF ONE I GOT BACK INTO THE VEHICLE CRANKED IT AND IMMEDIATELY THE SCRAMBLED SYMBOL APPEARED I CUT THE ENGINE BACK OFF AND TRIED IT AGAIN AND THE SCRAMBLED SYMBOL WAS STILL VISIBLE I SHIFTED DOWN THROUGH SEVERAL GEARS WITH CLUNKING NOISES AND HEAVY JERKING UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO FIND DRIVE 3, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AT A SLOW PACE TO A PARKING SPACE UNTIL I HAD IT TOWED TO MY HOME. SENT IT TO A MECHANIC HAD THROTTLE REPAIRED PUT THE VERY SAME DAY THE VERY SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE MY CHILDREN AND I WERE ON THE INTERSTATE HEADED HOME FROM THEIR SCHOOL. WAS ABLE TO SHIFT TO DRIVE 3 AND GET IT OFF OF THE ROADWAY.TURNED OFF IGNITION AND CRANKED IT UP AGAIN THE VEHICLE RAN NORMALLY TOOK IT TO AN AUTOZONE SO THAT THE CHECK ENGINE CODE COULD BE READ AND IT CAME BACK AS P0700 AND P0705 HAVE NOT HAD THE FUNDS TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BY SUZUKI DEALERSHIP. WITH THIS AS AN RECURRING WITH OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL AS MINES SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS GREATLY INJURED OR KILLED JUST STATING THE OBVIOUS.
