Consumer Description

I HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR IN MY 2008 SUZUKI FORENZA 3 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. ONCE AT 95,000 MILES, ANOTHER AT 101,000 MILES, AND NOW AGAIN AT 109,000. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT SUZUKI TO NO AVAIL. THE SECOND TIME THE SENSOR WENT OUT, I WAS MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS NEARLY HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK AND TRAILER BECAUSE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE 3RD INCIDENT WAS YESTERDAY 10/16/2013, I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A MAIN ROAD, WHEN THE SENSOR DECIDED TO SLIP, IT MOVED THE TRANSMISSION INTO A HIGH GEAR, CAUSING ME TO INCH OUT OF WHERE I WAS AT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT HIT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SUZUKI ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE HAVING ONLINE. *TR
