NHTSA complaint: 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA — POWER TRAIN
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
