I OWN A 2007 FORENZA IN WHICH A FEW WEEKS AGO I NOTICE IT WAS NOT SHIFTING OUT GEARS RIGHT. THEN IT GOT WORSE AND WOULD ACTUALLY STOP MOVING AND JUST REV UP. I ALMOST WAS IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS LUCKILY THE TRUCK HAD GOOD BRAKES. I TOOK MY CAR IN AND THE CASHIER TOLD ME WHAT IT PROBABLY WAS BEFORE THEY EVEN LOOKED AT IT AND SHE MADE A STATEMENT THAT ALL THE FORENZA ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM NOT TO MENTION THE WAS 14 IN THE SERVICE AREA. ANYWAY THE SHOP TOLD ME IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR AND IT WAS NOT COVERED IN MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY GO FIGURE..SO IT WAS 215.00 OUT OF POCKET..I FEEL THAT IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IT COULD EVENTUALLY CLAIM LIVES. *TR

MY DAUGHTER OWNS A 2007 FORENZA; SHE WAS RECENTLY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND BEGAN TO NOTICE A HESITATION ON THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING; SHE THEN FELT AN ACCELERATION AND A DECELERATION ON THE VEHICLE - AS IF IT WANTED TO STALL AND SHUT OFF. A FEW DAYS LATER SHE WAS ABOUT TO PARK AND FELT A SUDDEN JERK AND FUNNY SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT - SHE TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND WAITED FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR; THE VEHICLE STARTED AND SHE WAS TOLD TO LEAVE IT AT HOME. THE FOLLOWING DAY I BROUGHT IT IN TO A SUZUKI DEALER FOR SERVICE - I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED - THANK GOD MY 19 YEAR OLD DID NOT GET INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT TO THE ACCELERATION OF THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HAVE THIS SENSOR CHECKED OUT ON ALL YOUR SUZUKI FORENZA'S. OH AND GIVE THANKS TO THE FACT THAT MY WARRANTY STILL HAD 3,000 MILES LEFT ON IT. I AM NOW IN DOUBT OF THIS SUZUKI - I WOULD FEEL MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE IF SUZUKI WOULD EXTEND THEIR WARRANTY TO 5 YEARS/50,000 MILES INSTEAD 3 YEARS/36,000 MILES. I BELIEVE IF SUZUKI BELIEVES IN THEIR VEHICLES THEN THEY SHOULD HONOR THE REQUEST. *TR

THE PROBLEM STARTED ON 7/12/09. I HAD JUST GOTTEN AN OIL CHANGE AT WAL-MART IN JACKSONVILLE, AR, AND AS SOON AS I TURNED ON THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. WAL-MART OF COURSE DENIED ANY DAMAGES, BUT STATED IF SOMETHING WAS DONE ON THEIR PART THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE DAMAGES. FROM THERE I WENT TO AUTO ZONE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CODES WERE 700 AND 705, WHICH REFERRED TO THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR. THE VERY NEXT DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. LONG STORY SHORT, SINCE THAT TIME THE LIGHT HAS COME ON SEVERAL TIMES. PRIOR TO THE LIGHT COMING ON, MY CAR WOULD BE IN DRIVE BUT WOULD HESITATE AND FEEL AS IF IT IS IN NEUTRAL. ALSO, A LINE WOULD GO ACROSS THE D (DRIVE) ON MY DASHBOARD, AND ALL OF THE OTHER GEARS WOULD APPEAR TO BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT ON THE DASHBOARD (I.E. P (PARK) ON THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD READ R (REVERSE) ON THE DASHBOARD. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A 2007 MODEL CAR. THERE ARE 62, 000 MILES ON THIS CAR, WHICH ARE MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THE WEB, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. *TR
