Consumer Description

WHEN MY SUZUKI FORENZA 2008 HIT AROUND 60,000 MILES I STARTED HAVING SPORADIC TRANSMISSION ISSUES, INCLUDING NOT BEING ABLE TO REVERSE PROPERLY, MECHANICAL SOUNDS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS, NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHEN ON DRIVE, IT WAS VERY STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE, MY BROTHER HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AND HAD THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE AND IT TURNED OUT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS THE EXACT PROBLEM, I HAD TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR AND I CURRENTLY HAVE AN INTERNAL FAILURE WITH MY TRANSMISSION AND I DO NOT PLAN ON INVESTING ANY MORE MONEY TOWARDS THIS VEHICLE AS I HAVE READ THAT MANY DRIVERS HAVE GONE THIS ROUTE AND ABSOLUTELY REGRETTED IT BECAUSE OF THE CONTINUING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND OTHER ISSUES. *TR
