NHTSA Complaint #10502399 — 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD LIKE NORMAL AND CAME UP TO A STOP LIGHT. AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN IT DOWNSHIFTED HARD AND WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE FROM THE STOP LIGHT IT TOOK MORE GAS THAN NORMAL TO PULL AWAY. I THEN NOTICED THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I TOOK MY CAR TO AN AUTO STORE THE NEXT DAY TO READ THE CODES. IT GAVE THE CODES PO700 AND PO734. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I HAD A LOSS OF POWER AND ACCELERATION AND WAS UNABLE TO GO NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ALSO WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE IT SHIFTS HARD AND KIND OF CLUNKS INTO GEAR. THE NEXT DAY I TRIED AGAIN AND IT WAS SHIFTING JUST FINE, BUT STILL HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. LATER THAT DAY THE SAME PROBLEMS FROM THE PREVIOUS DAY RETURNED. WHEN THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT BACK HOME THROUGH A HEAVY SNOW STORM. IF THIS PROBLEM HAD CAUSED ME TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT DUE TO THE ZERO VISIBILITY. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM AND TROUBLE CODES AND I BELIEVE SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR
