Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING UP A HILL OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL AND THE RPMS RACE. IF I LET UP FROM THE ACCELERATOR FOR A FEW SECONDS IT WILL RESUME NORMAL DRIVING. MECHANIC SUGGESTS IT IS EITHER THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR OR THE CLUTCH PISTON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I LOSE SPEED RAPIDLY AND THE ROADS I TRAVEL MOST DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH SHOULDER TO PULL OVER SAFELY. NEAREST SUZUKI REPAIR SHOP IS OVER AN HOUR AWAY AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN TRYING TO DRIVE IT THAT FAR. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS CAR: IN 2 YEARS I HAVE REPLACE ALL HEADLIGHT BULBS 4 TIMES, BRAKES REPLACED, AND PAINT IS WEARING OFF HANDLES. THE TRANSMISSION IS 'SEALED' SO THAT THE AVERAGE PERSON/REPAIR SHOP CAN'T WORK ON THEM OR EVEN CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL (NO DIP STICK). *KB
