2007 SUZUKI RENO Complaints

I HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR TWICE SINCE PURCHASING MY CAR NEW IN 2008 AND JUST LAST WEEK I STARTED HAVING THE SAME ISSUE! SO I WILL BE REPLACING THIS SAME PART FOR THE 3RD TIME SINCE PURCHASINGIT NEW 6 YEARS AGO. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 SUZUKI RENO. THIS VEHICLE HAS GONE THROUGH FIVE (5) TRANSMISSION RAGE SENSORS SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN NOVEMBER, 2006. STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITHIN TWO MONTHS. DEALERSHIP IN ROCK HILL, SC HAD ALREADY SHUT DOWN AND DOORS WERE PADLOCKED. HAVE PAID A LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE THIS SAME SENSOR CHANGED FIVE TIMES. WHY HAS SUZUKI NOT RECALLED THIS VEHICLE TO CORRECT THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM?? WHY HAS THE NHTSA DONE NOTHING FOR ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE? MY CAR "SHIFTS" INTO NEUTRAL GOING DOWN HIGHWAY CAUSING LOSS OF POWER AND ACCELERATION WITHOUT NOTICE; THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. IT IS VERY UNNERVING AND UNSAFE!!! PLEASE DO SOMETHING!! *TR

WARNING LIGHT FOR AIR BAG SYSTEM CAME ON AND STAYS ON, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE CAR FAX FOR THIS CAR SHOWS NO ACCIDENT WHERE AIRBAGS WHERE USED, AT ANY TIME IN THE PAST. CALLED PUGMIRE SUZUKI, IN MARIETTA, GA. AND THEY ADVISED THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY, SINCE IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PART, AND THAT I WOULD HAVE NO USE OF AIRBAGS, UNTIL IT WAS DIAGNOSED FOR 100 DOLLARS AND THEN REPAIRED FOR AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT THAT IS MORE THAN THE 100 DOLLARS, AND I DECIDED NOT TO GO AND GET IT FIXED BECAUSE IT IS 70 MILES TO THE NEAREST DEALER, AND THEREFORE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THERE WITH NO AIR BAG USE POSSIBLE. THIS SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY THE CAR MAKER, BECAUSE IT IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI RENO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOOK, HESITATED AND LOST ACCELERATION. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED, WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,000. UPDATED 11/19/13*CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE DEALER AT A COST OF $300.

AT AROUND 55,000 MILES AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON, VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, READ ONLINE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD BY SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN FOR AIRBAG RELATED PROBLEMS FOR A 2007 SUZUKI RENO. *JB

I OWN 2007 SUZUKI RENO SINCE THIS YEAR. CAR WAS RUNNING GOOD NOW ITS HAS 85600 MILES ON IT APPROXIMATELY . I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUE BUT SINCE LAST SIX MONTH, MY TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR CAUSING LOTS OF PROBLEM I ALREADY SPENT $350 FOR REPAIR BUT NOW I REPLACED IT SECOND TIME. WHEN I SEARCH ONLINE AND GO TO SUZUKI FORUM I SEE LOTS OF OWNER OF SUZUKI HAVING SAME ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING. BELOW IS THE LINK WHERE YOU CAN SEE SO MANY PEOPLE ALREADY HAVING SAME ISSUE HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/SUZUKI/FORENZA/TRANSMISSION-SENSOR-PROBLEMS.PHP THAT I AM HAVING. I NEED YOUR HELP TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH THE COMPANY. IF SUZUKI CAN INSTALL ORIGINAL PARTS THAT WOULD BE FINE. I HAVE ALREADY SPENT LOTS OF MONEY FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF. CAR HAS PROBLEMS STARTING: SOMETIMES IT STARTS IN PARK, SOMETIMES IT WILL ONLY START IN NEUTRAL, OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THE GEARS AND GO BACK TO NEUTRAL. TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR SEEMS TO BE PROBLEM FROM MY ONLINE RESEARCH. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 SUZUKI RENO ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN DESPITE ME TRYING TO GIVE IT GAS, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. I PULLED OVER AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF FOR A MOMENT. I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT BACK INTO DRIVE, MY CAR JOLTED AND AN X APPEARED OVER THE D WHERE THE GEARS ARE LOCATED. FRIGHTENED, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AGAIN AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, WHO TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. THEY EXPLAINED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR AND FIXED IT FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. 3 YEARS 2 MONTHS LATER THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, LUCKILY I WAS NOT DRIVING THIS TIME ONLY TRYING TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE WHEN AN X APPEARED OVER THE D AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT SUZUKI DEALER WHO EXPLAINED THAT BECAUSE IT WAS OUTSIDE THE TRANSMISSION IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. NO EXPLANATION WAS GIVEN AS TO WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING AGAIN. NOW HERE WE ARE EXACTLY 4 MONTHS LATER TO THE DAY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WILL REPAIR IT FOR FREE BECAUSE THEY ONLY REPAIRED IT MONTHS AGO, BUT STILL NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I NOW SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC, THAT PART OF THIS CAR IS DEFECTIVE. I AM LIVID AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW WITH 27 MILES ON IT AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE EVER SINCE!! AGGRAVATION AND MONEY IS ALL THAT CAR HAS BEEN TO ME. *TR

DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY ABOUT 60 MPH MY VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE ACCELERATOR STOPPED WORKING. IMMEDIATELY MY VEHICLE WENT DOWN TO 30 MPH. IT FELT LIKE THE GEAR WENT TO NEUTRAL BECAUSE THE GAS PEDAL WASN'T WORKING. IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS WENT BACK TO NORMAL. BUT IN ABOUT 20 MINUTES SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. IT WAS VERY UNSAFE FOR THE TRAFFIC AROUND ME. THANKS FOR MY HUSBAND NEXT TO ME, AND HIS GUIDANCE AS HE IS PROFESSIONAL DRIVER, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT SAFE TO FIRST LANE. *TR

GOING INTO REVERSE HEARD AND FELT A HARD LOUD CLUNK. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR BARE LY MOVED. KEPT SLIPPING IN TO NEUTRAL ON HIGHWAY TOP SHOP. HAD CHECKED TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR
