Consumer Description

ABOUT ONCE A WEEK MY CAR HAS AN ISSUE WHEN SHIFTING. WHEN I SHIFT INTO REVERSE I GET A CLUNK. THEN WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR SEEMS TO BE STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO ON. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND LEAVE IT OFF FOR 5 TO 10 MINUTES IT WILL BE FINE WHEN I START IT AGAIN. THE ENGINE LIGHT CODES ARE P0700 AND P0705. UPON DOING RESEARCH ON THIS SUBJECT I FOUND THAT THIS IS THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR THAT IS FAILING. SUZUKI WILL NOT FIX THIS UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WHICH SEEMS VERY WRONG SINCE THIS IS PART OF THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE FOUND A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART THAT SUZUKI IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT. *TR
