PLACED CAR IN REVERSE, HEARD A LOUD CLUNK, THE GEAR DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD WOULD NOT SHOW WHAT GEAR IT WAS, WOULD STAY ON 1ST GEAR WHILE DRIVING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IS THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR. *TR

RANGE SENSOR ON MY POWER TRAIN SEEMS LIKE IT'S GOING OUT. I HAVE READ DOZENS AND DOZENS OF COMPLAINS FOR THIS VERY PART ON THIS VERY SAME MODEL AND YEAR CAR AND IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND I REALLY DON'T HAVE $200-300 TO GET IT FIXED RIGHT NOW. I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD WHO RIDES IN MY CAR AND THIS ISN'T SAFE. WHAT IT DOES IS WHEN YOU GET UP TO ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR IT WILL JERK AND DECELERATE DOWN TO ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR, THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. FROM WHAT I'VE READ THIS PART REALLY DOES NEED TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND THIS PART AND THE WARRANT DOESN'T TAKE CARE OF IT. I BOUGHT A SUZUKI BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD CAR WITH A GREAT WARRANTY AND I'M FINDING OUT THAT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN THE CASE. *TR

I GOT IN MY CAR, TURN IGNITION SWITCH ON AND BOOM! MY SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR FENDER BENDER AND NO WORK HAS BEEN PERFORMED IN A VERY LONG TIME EXCEPT FOR MY OIL CHANGE ABOUT 45 DAYS AGO. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR ANYTHING. IT JUST BLEW UP. *TR

AFTER NOTICING THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WHICH MONITORS INFLATORS, CRASH SENSORS, SEAT BELT PRETENSION, THE FRONT PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM, AND CORRESPONDING ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS STAYED ON AFTER STARTING THE CAR, I TOOK IT TO THE SUZUKI DEALER. AFTER THEY INSPECTED IT, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A SENSOR IN THE DRIVER SEAT. HE TOLD ME ME THAT THE SENSOR WAS INSIDE THE DRIVERS SEAT AND THAT THE DRIVERS SEAT WITH THE SENSOR INSIDE WOULD COST $1,984.42 PLUS LABOR. I CONTACTED THE SUZUKI MAIN OFFICES IN BREA, CA WHO OFFERED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY AT A COST TO ME FOR A TOTAL OF $300. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD PAY FOR THAT SINCE IT IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND THE DIFFERENCES IN PRICE BETWEEN THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER MEANS THAT THEY OWN THE RESPONSIBILITY. I AM NOW DRIVING WITH THE SENSOR LIGHT ON AND THE AIRBAG MAY OR MAY NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE OF THIS. 06/
