I TURNED ON THE CAR, WHEN I PUT INTO REVERSE IT CLUNKED AND THE SCREEN THAT USUALLY SAYS R JUST HAD SCRAMBLED LETTERS GOING THEN WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE IT CLUNKED AGAIN AND WHEN I DRIVE IT LIKE THAT IT STARTS IN 2ND SO I HAVE TO PUT A LOT OF GAS ONTO IT THEN IT WON'T SWITCH INTO 3RD GEAR, AND EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF AND IT WORKS FINE. *TR

I HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR IN MY 2008 SUZUKI FORENZA 3 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. ONCE AT 95,000 MILES, ANOTHER AT 101,000 MILES, AND NOW AGAIN AT 109,000. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT SUZUKI TO NO AVAIL. THE SECOND TIME THE SENSOR WENT OUT, I WAS MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS NEARLY HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK AND TRAILER BECAUSE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE 3RD INCIDENT WAS YESTERDAY 10/16/2013, I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A MAIN ROAD, WHEN THE SENSOR DECIDED TO SLIP, IT MOVED THE TRANSMISSION INTO A HIGH GEAR, CAUSING ME TO INCH OUT OF WHERE I WAS AT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT HIT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SUZUKI ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE HAVING ONLINE. *TR

MULTIPLE TIMES THE TRANSMISSION THUDS WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE. DASH DISPLAY DOES NOT SHOW "R" BUT HAS AN "X" THROUGH IT. TURN CAR OFF AND ON ABOUT THREE TIMES TO TRY TO GET IT TO WORK PROPERLY. EVENTUALLY WORKS OK FOR A WHILE. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. CAR IS SLUGGISH TO DRIVE AFTER THIS HAPPENS AND ENGINE REVS TOO HIGH. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON BUT GOES OFF IN A FEW DAYS. TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR IS BAD. *TR
