I WAS DRIVING MY SUZUKI FORENZA LAST FRIDAY WHEN IT WENT FROM "DRIVE" TO BASICALLY NEUTRAL. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND BECAUSE MY CAR STALLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE AND EACH TIME I'VE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH NOT TO BE HIT. THIS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS ISSUE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS MID DRIVE. APPARENTLY IT'S MY TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR AND IT HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR WITHOUT GOING VERY SLOWLY AND BEING FEARFUL. IT WILL STILL DO IT EACH TIME I ACCELERATE SO I HAVE TO BE MINDFUL TO DRIVE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD SO I CAN EASILY PULL INTO A SIDE ROAD OR DRIVEWAY. I'M HOPING TO GET IT FIXED ASAP HOWEVER IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
