NHTSA Complaint #10503320 — 2006 SUZUKI FORENZA

DRIVING DOWN RESIDENTIAL STREET VEHICLE STALLED AND BEGAN TO IDLE HIGH WHILE IN THE "D" POSITION. APPLIED BRAKES AND TRIED TO PUT IT IN TO "P" POSITION BUT DASH READ REVERSE. TURNED IGNITION OFF AND GEARS SHIFTED AS DESIGNED. 4 INCIDENTS FOLLOWED THIS ONE HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED.I WAS PUTTING GAS IN WITH THE ENGINE OFF ONE I GOT BACK INTO THE VEHICLE CRANKED IT AND IMMEDIATELY THE SCRAMBLED SYMBOL APPEARED I CUT THE ENGINE BACK OFF AND TRIED IT AGAIN AND THE SCRAMBLED SYMBOL WAS STILL VISIBLE I SHIFTED DOWN THROUGH SEVERAL GEARS WITH CLUNKING NOISES AND HEAVY JERKING UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO FIND DRIVE 3, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AT A SLOW PACE TO A PARKING SPACE UNTIL I HAD IT TOWED TO MY HOME. SENT IT TO A MECHANIC HAD THROTTLE REPAIRED PUT THE VERY SAME DAY THE VERY SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE MY CHILDREN AND I WERE ON THE INTERSTATE HEADED HOME FROM THEIR SCHOOL. WAS ABLE TO SHIFT TO DRIVE 3 AND GET IT OFF OF THE ROADWAY.TURNED OFF IGNITION AND CRANKED IT UP AGAIN THE VEHICLE RAN NORMALLY TOOK IT TO AN AUTOZONE SO THAT THE CHECK ENGINE CODE COULD BE READ AND IT CAME BACK AS P0700 AND P0705 HAVE NOT HAD THE FUNDS TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BY SUZUKI DEALERSHIP. WITH THIS AS AN RECURRING WITH OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL AS MINES SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS GREATLY INJURED OR KILLED JUST STATING THE OBVIOUS. LOVE THE VEHICLE BUT AFRAID TO DRIVE IT EVEN IF THE NECESSARY REPAIRS ARE MADE I DON'T WANT TO FEEL AS IF IM DRIVING MY AND MY KIDS DEATH MOBILE. *TR
