|---|---|
| Automatic Transmission Gear Indicator problems | |
| Transmission Noise problems |
Also the gear shifter fell from drive to neutral, it now gets stiff and is harder to move.
This is the worst new car I have ever seen, very poor quality. The dealer has looked at the transmission problem 4 times, says car is being driven wrong. Banging noise happens in first and second gears, windshield seal is bad, vibrates and cracks in cold weather, both problems reported to Suzuki.
