NHTSA Complaint #10450238 — 2006 SUZUKI RENO

MY WIFE HAS BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND SEEMS LIKE ITS GOING TO BE ON ITS THIRD TRANS AND IT ONLY HAS 67000 MILES ON IT. THE CARS ENGINE LITE COMES ON STEADY AND DRIVES FINE FOR A LITTLE BIT BUT AFTER A WHILE THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING AND THE CAR IDLES ROUGH, GOES 0-60 IN CHRISTMAS TO NEXT THANKSGIVING THEN WILL NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY. IT FEELS LIKE IT IS TAKING OFF IN THIRD GEAR EVERY TIME. WHEN IT FINALLY GETS GOING IT SHIFTS IN THE 5-7000 RPM RANGE. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP THE FIRST TIME AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SENSOR. THEY CHANGED THE SENSOR AND STILL THE SAME SO THEY CHANGED THE TRANS AT ONLY UNDER 30000 MILES. TWO DAYS LATER AND 12 MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE SAME THING OCCURS. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THAT WE WILL HAVE TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE TRIED TO EMAIL OTHER DEALERS AND NOONE WILL TOUCH IT. NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING EXCEPT THE CAR WILL JUST NOT HARDLY MOVE. IT SEEMS TO BE FOULING OUT THE PLUGS. I PULLED THEM AND THEY ARE ALL COVERED IN FUEL. IT NOW FEELS LIKE ITS THE TIMING BELT THAT SLIPPED A TOOTH. SUZUKI SHOULD STICK WITH MAKING BIKES AND NOT CARS AND MAYBE HAVE BETTER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE. I AM AT LOST FOR WORDS OR KNOWLEDGE AS TO WHAT TO DO. I FEEL THAT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS ON SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED MOST DEFINITELY. IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND SHOULDN'T BE ON THE ROAD. THERE HAS BEEN INSTANCES WHERE IM ABOUT TO TURN LEFT AND THE CAR LOOSES POWER HALF WAY THROUGH THE TURN. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS DEATH TRAP. MY WIFE TOTES AROUND OTHER KIDS IN THIS CAR FOR HER JOB. THANK YOU *TR
