NHTSA Complaint #10480629 — 2006 SUZUKI RENO

INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND THE RPMS WOULD REACH HIGHER POINTS EVEN WHILE IDLING. DURING NORMAL DRIVES THE UNIT WOULD START REVVING WHEN IT WAS TO SWITCHING OVER TO ANOTHER GEAR AND AFTER THE ISSUE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR HAS PROBLEMS ACCELERATING. SOMETIMES ON START UP A SIMILAR ISSUE APPEARS AND AFTER THE REVVING ENDS IT SLOWLY GOES BACK TO NORMAL RPMS BUT HAVING A HARD TIME ACCELERATING. WE'VE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY'VE REPLACED PARTS AND HAVE HELD THE VEHICLE PLENTY OF TIMES TO FIX THE ISSUE BUT IT GOES AWAY AND COMES RIGHT BACK. EACH TIME WE'VE BROUGHT IT IN IT EITHER GOES AWAY FROM A RESET AND NEVER COMES BACK OR GOES AWAY BEFORE THEY CAN INSPECT IT. OCCASIONALLY WE WERE CAPABLE OF BRINGING THE CAR WITH THE ISSUE AND THE ERROR CODE DIFFERENTIATES FROM ONE ANOTHER. EACH TIME THEY'VE SAID THEY HAVE FIXED THE CAR BUT IT COMES BACK UP. NOW WE'RE AT A LOSS AS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WE PURCHASED HAS EXPIRED AND WE CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO SPEND MORE MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE. WE'VE SEARCHED COUNTLESS RECORDS ONLINE WITH OTHERS STATING THE SAME ISSUE. WE'VE BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO THIRD PARTY MECHANICS TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN FIND BUT NO ONE WILL TOUCH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP LOCAL TO US HAS ALL THE RECORDS OF IT AND CAN PROVIDE THEM. *TR
