Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR!! IT STARTED OUT AS I WAS SHIFT INTO OR PAST REVERSE. NOW IT SHIFTS ON IT'S OWN WHILE DRIVING, WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, WHILE AT STOPLIGHTS/STOP SIGNS. YOU WILL BE DRIVING AND IT WILL JERK AND PUT ITSELF INTO PARK BUT STILL GO. IT'S LIKE DRIVING A STICK SHIFT WITHOUT LETTING OFF THE CLUTCH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE TO DRIVE. YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO ACT UP. I HAVE MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR AND WAIT UNTIL IT'S ABSOLUTELY CLEAR TO PULL OUT DUE TO THIS. TONIGHT (10/13/11) I WAS DRIVING, HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THAT I'VE DRIVEN OVER A MILLION TIMES AND SIMULTANEOUSLY, MY BRAKE LIGHT AND MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE TO MY DESTINATION WITH MY LIGHTS DIMMING SLOWLY AND PULLED INTO THE SPOT AND THE CAR DIED. I SPOKE TO THE LOCAL SUZUKI DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THE SERVICE TECH IS HE GETS ALOT OF ISSUES WITH THIS SENSOR AND HE SAYS "THE NUMBERS ARE HIGHER THAN THEY SHOULD BE FOR THIS CAR. " *TR
