NHTSA Complaint #11329141 — 2010 SUZUKI KIZASHI

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) FOR THE CVT, THE TCM MAY DETECT AN ABNORMALITY IN THE CVT PULLEY RATIO UNDER AS A RESULT OF THE UNUSUAL MOVEMENT OF THE STEPPER MOTOR. THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL) MAY ILLUMINATE AND THE CVT COULD GO INTO A FAIL SAFE MODE RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE LOSING ACCELERATION. CONTACTED THE SUZUKI CORPORATION AND THEY STATE MY VIN IS NOT SHOWING THIS RECALL HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. RECALL NOTICE HAS BEEN OUT FOR THIS EXACT YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE, BUT DENIES THAT IT'S FOR THIS VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THIS VEHICLE WENT INTO LIKE A SAFETY TYPE MODE AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT EXIT THE FAIL SAFE MODE AND NEEDS DEALERSHIP ATTENTION. I ALMOST DIED ON THE HIGHWAY FROM THIS ISSUE. *TR
