NHTSA Complaint #10280795 — 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA

MY DAUGHTER OWNS A 2007 FORENZA; SHE WAS RECENTLY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND BEGAN TO NOTICE A HESITATION ON THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING; SHE THEN FELT AN ACCELERATION AND A DECELERATION ON THE VEHICLE - AS IF IT WANTED TO STALL AND SHUT OFF. A FEW DAYS LATER SHE WAS ABOUT TO PARK AND FELT A SUDDEN JERK AND FUNNY SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT - SHE TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND WAITED FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR; THE VEHICLE STARTED AND SHE WAS TOLD TO LEAVE IT AT HOME. THE FOLLOWING DAY I BROUGHT IT IN TO A SUZUKI DEALER FOR SERVICE - I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED - THANK GOD MY 19 YEAR OLD DID NOT GET INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT TO THE ACCELERATION OF THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HAVE THIS SENSOR CHECKED OUT ON ALL YOUR SUZUKI FORENZA'S. OH AND GIVE THANKS TO THE FACT THAT MY WARRANTY STILL HAD 3,000 MILES LEFT ON IT. I AM NOW IN DOUBT OF THIS SUZUKI - I WOULD FEEL MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE IF SUZUKI WOULD EXTEND THEIR WARRANTY TO 5 YEARS/50,000 MILES INSTEAD 3 YEARS/36,000 MILES. I BELIEVE IF SUZUKI BELIEVES IN THEIR VEHICLES THEN THEY SHOULD HONOR THE REQUEST. *TR
