Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 SUZUKI FORENZA UPHILL GOING 35 MPH WHEN IT SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING AND SOUNDED AS THOUGH IT HAD SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. HOWEVER, THE CAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. LEADING UP TO THIS INCIDENT, I EXPERIENCED ROUGH JOLTING WHEN MY CAR (WHICH IS AN AUTOMATIC) WAS DOWNSHIFTING FROM THIRD TO SECOND GEAR. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY STOP ACCELERATING. I HAVE SINCE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM IS LIKELY THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR. *TR
