TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK, IT WOULD EXHIBIT AN ABNORMALLY LOUD SLAMMING SOUND. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND FROM THE DESCRIPTION GIVEN BY THE CONTACT, THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A TRANSMISSION SENSOR FAILURE.

CAR WAS SPUTTERING AND HESITATING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE TOOK TO MECHANIC AND ERROR P0705 TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR CAME UP AS THE PROBLEM. SUZUKI IS AWARE OF THIS ONGOING PROBLEM AND THEY ARE CLEARLY IGNORING THE POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO OCCUR BY NOT RECALLING AND RECTIFYING THE ISSUE. RATHER THEY ARE RELYING ON THEIR CONSUMERS TO ABSORB THE EXPENSE OF THIS REPAIR. MY FAITH IN SUZUKI HAS DEFINITELY BEEN SHAKEN AND THIS DEFINITELY WILL INFLUENCE MY DECISION TO PURCHASE ANOTHER SUZUKI OR RECOMMEND SUZUKI. IT IS TIME THAT SUZUKI STEP UP AND ADMIT THEIR NEGLIGENCE, RECTIFY THE ISSUE, COMPENSATE THOSE WHO HAVE ABSORBED THE COST OF THIS REPAIR, AND RESTORE THE FAITH IN ITS CONSUMERS. *KB

2007 SUZUKI FORENZA SEDAN. BOUGHT THE CAR TWO DAYS AGO. TODAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND SHIFTING INTO REVERSE CAUSED A LOUD CLUNK FOLLOWED BY THE DIGITAL GEAR INDICATOR BEING SCRAMBLED RATHER THAN DISPLAYING R. WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE, IT WON'T SHIFT OUT OF 3RD GEAR, SO MUCH LESS PICKUP THAN NORMAL (WHICH COULD LEAD TO GETTING REAR ENDED) AND CAN'T GO OVER ~55 MPH. THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR IS THE PROBLEM. THE CORRESPONDING ERROR CODES PULLED WERE PO700 AND PO705. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE, IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A VERY, VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 MODEL. *TR

TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR IN 07 SUZUKI FORENZA WENT OUT AT 70 MPH AND ALMOST MADE A VEHICLE BEHIND ME RUN INTO ME. THE VEHICLE PART COSTS ABOUT 60 DOLLARS PLUS TAX AND LABOR BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR HAS GONE OUT AND THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OR OWNERS PER THE WEB THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO IN REFERENCE TO THE ABOVE CAR.

SUZUKI FORENZA 2007; TRANSMISSION POSITION SENSOR. TURN ON CAR, SHIFT IT TO REVERSE THE GEAR JUMPS TWICE INSTEAD OF ONCE LIKE THE MOTOR IS ABOUT TO DROP. OCCURS OFTEN CAN RUIN THE MOTOR AND THE TRANSMISSION, HAVE TO REPLACE THE SENSOR WHICH IS 400.00. *TR

I HAD PURCHASED A 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA. IT HAD 7 MILES ON IT WHEN I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT. AT APPROXIMATELY 56,000 MILES IT STARTED PUTTING ITSELF IN NEUTRAL GEAR AND INTERMITTENTLY WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO CHANGE FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE IT IN NEUTRAL, TURN THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON IN ORDER TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AND EVEN THEN THE CAR WILL JERK BETWEEN GEARS AND HAS RUN AT 4,000 RPMS AT 60 MPH. IT HAS BECOME A GAS GUZZLER. NOW AT 82,000 MILES I CAN FINALLY AFFORD TO PAY THE $300 THE DEALER HAD TOLD ME IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR THIS RANGE MODE SWITCH THAT THEY SAY WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE. AFTER READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA, AND SEEING HOW SIMILAR ALL THESE ISSUES ARE, I AM I FULL AGREEMENT THAT THIS PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN AND SHOULD BE IN THE FUTURE, COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY OR SHOULD BE RECALLED. IF I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME AND THE CAR SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE GEARS TO NEUTRAL AND AN ACCIDENT IS CAUSED BECAUSE OF THIS, THERE WILL BE LAWSUITS. I AM JUST HOPING THAT THIS REPLACEMENT PART THAT IS INSTALLED WILL ACTUALLY HOLD OUT AND DO WHAT IT IS MADE TO DO. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF DURING THE DAY OR NIGHT, CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO DISABLE. BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR: VERY COMMON PROBLEM. MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND NOT COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. DEALER KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG, IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT IS $400 JUST TO REPLACE A SMALL ELECTRONIC COMPONENT. *TT
