Consumer Description

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TO FIND THAT MY TRANSMISSION SWITCH HAD GONE BAD CAUSING IT NOT TO SHIFT CORRECTLY....THINKING NO BIG DEAL, I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. HE SAID THESE TRANSMISSIONS WERE KNOWN AS THROW AWAY TRANSMISSIONS. I CAME HOME AND GOOGLED MY PROBLEM TO FIND NUMEROUS LOWER MILEAGE SUZUKI FORENZAS WITH THE SAME ISSUE, SOME ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS. PLEASE CONSIDER A MANDATORY RECALL ON THIS PART. *TR
