NHTSA Complaint #10365755 — 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA

AHHH YES...THE RANGE SENSOR GOING OUT. MY CAR STARTED DOING THIS IN OCTOBER 2010 AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW SENSOR TOO. MY CAR JERKS WHEN THIS ACTS UP AND WHEN IT IS GEAR, YOU CAN SEE THE BOTH THE "R" AND THE "D" ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I TOOK MY CAR TO MIDAS AND THE MECHANIC (THAT WORKS ON MY CAR) TAKE A LOOK AT, HE SHOWED ME WHERE THE SENSOR IS (IF YOU'RE FACING THE ENGINE IT'S THE LITTLE BLACK ROUND LOOKING THING WITH A HANDLE AND YELLOW STRIPE ON IT). HE DID SOMETHING TO IT AND IT RAN FINE FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN DID THE "JERK" AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD, AND PRESSED DOWN (AS TO PUSHING IT BACK INTO PLACE) AND WIGGLED IT A LITTLE BEFORE THIS. WHEN I STARTED MY CAR, IT RAN PERFECTLY AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF. I DO THIS EVERY 3-5 DAYS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE SENSOR IS GETTING LOOSE AND NEEDS TO HAVE A NEW FITTING. I'M NOT SPENDING $253.00 UNTIL I ABSOLUTELY NEED IT. THEY DO NEED TO RECALL THIS BECAUSE IT'S VERY ANNOYING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH!! *TR
