2007 SUZUKI RENO Complaints

I GOT IN MY CAR, TURN IGNITION SWITCH ON AND BOOM MY SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED, THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THIS IS AN ON GOING OCCURRENCE SINCE I HAVE OWNED MY VEHICLE, MY ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME ITS JUST A SENSOR GLITCH AND THEY HAVE FIXED IT, ALONG WITH MY AIRBAG LIGHT WHICH IS STILL ON. A COUPLE DAYS AFTER I LEAVE THE DEALER, IT COMES BACK ON AND I LOSE POWER WHEN I TRY TO EXCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME A COUPLE TIMES WHEN I AM ENTERING THE INTERSTATE AND I AM GETTING SICK OF IT. MY ORIGINAL WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT AND I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO FIX A PROBLEM THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED ALTHOUGH I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THEM WHEN THE WARRANTY IS IN EFFECT. WOULD THIS BE COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY?? I SEE THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM..HOW MANY REPORTS DO YOU NEED TO DETERMINE IF THIS A MANUFACTURING GLITCH. I AM GETTING VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS (I SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LONG TIME AGO). WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS WITHOUT COMING OUT OF MY POCKET. AT THIS POINT I DONT THINK I WOULD EVER BY ANOTHER SUZUKI AND ADVISE MY FRIENDS AGAINST IT. *TR

CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN TURNED OFF. WHEN I TURNED ON THE CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON, PUT CAR IN REVERSE AND CLUNK, WHILE THE DISPLAY WHERE THE R FOR REVERSE WOULD HAVE BEEN WAS SCRAMBLED, CAR STILL REVERSED. CLUNKED INTO DRIVE, AND WOULDN'T SWITCH OUT OF 1ST GEAR. THIS OCCURS SPORADICALLY. CHECK ENGINE CODE SIGNALED TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR MALFUNCTION. THERE ARE MANY OTHER OCCURRENCES FOR THE SAME MODEL YEAR WHICH OCCURS AROUND 70000 MILES. *JB

AT AROUND 50K MILES, VEHICLE STARTED SHIFTING HARD, NOT SHIFTING INTO DRIVE, THEN ACTUALLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING @ ABOUT 20-25 MPH, WITH VEHICLES BEHIND ME. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS RECENTLY APPEARED AND PRODUCED CODES 700 AND 705 FOR RANGE SENSOR. HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THE ISSUE IS WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL, BUT RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. *JS

TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR IS FAULTY. CAR BANGS INTO GEAR FROM PARK AND REVERSE, AS WELL AS ERRATICALLY SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. *JS

MY 2007 SUZUKI RENO JERKS WHEN YOU PUT IT INTO REVERSE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THEN WHEN YOU PUT IT INTO DRIVE IT GOES REALLY SLOW AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO DRIVE IT IN 3RD GEAR I'VE READ AROUND DONE SOME RESEARCH AND I'VE SEEN ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *KB

AIRBAG LIGHTS COME ON WITHOUT INCIDENT, THEY HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF AT THE SUZUKI DEALER IN THE RIVERGATE AREA OF NASHVILLE IN 2010. SINCE THEN, THEY HAVE COME ON TWICE AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TURN THEM OFF. THEY CAME ON AGAIN DECEMBER OF 2011, HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TURN THEM OFF. CAR HAS NOT HAD ANY DAMAGE, WRECK, WATER OR STORM. I HAVE READ ONLINE SUZUKI IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU CAN BE OF ANY HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI RENO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 30 MPH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT A TRANSMISSION SENSOR WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,500. THE RANGE SENSOR WAS REPLACED. UPDATED 01/03/12

VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION, AND DOESN'T REACT PROPERLY TO GAS PEDAL. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO MERGE ONTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. BY READING ONLINE IT SEEMS TO BE THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR, A LOT OF PEOPLE ON FORUMS ARE WRITING ABOUT THIS FAULT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE SENSOR IN THE PAST 2 YEARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI RENO. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT WITH AN ABNORMAL FORCE AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 3 MPH.
