Consumer Description

MY 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL AT 60 MPH ON A ROAD WITH NO SHOULDER. I HAD MY THREE SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT AND WAS TERRIFIED THAT I WOULD BE REAR ENDED INJURING AND POSSIBLY KILLING THEM AS I HAD NO POWER TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ALSO UNABLE TO GET FAR ENOUGH OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO REVERSE. I HAD TO CALL MY HUSBAND HELP ME TO GET MY KIDS OUT OF THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY AND NARROW ROAD. THIS INCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY A FAILURE OF THE TRANS RANGE SENSOR WHICH HAS BECOME AND EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SUZUKI FORENZA. THIS PART MUST BE RECALLED AS IT PRESENTS AN IMMEDIATE AND ONGOING RISK TO THE TO THE LIVES OF SUZUKI OWNERS AND PASSENGERS AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE A VEHICLE REPEATEDLY POSE SUCH A RISK TO THE LIVES OF FAMILIES AND FOR SUZUKI TO REFUSE TO RECALL THE PART THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. *TR
