My check engine light came on to find that my transmission switch had gone bad causing it not to shift correctly. . . . Thinking no big deal, I took it to my mechanic. He said these transmissions were known as throw away transmissions. I came home and googled my problem to find numerous lower mileage Suzuki Forenzas with the same issue, some almost causing accidents. Please consider a mandatory recall on this part.
When turning my car on and putting it into reverse, the check engine light came on and my car jerked into gear and where the r should appear for reverse on the dash, all the letters were scrambled together. The car drove in reverse and then when I put it into drive, it jerked again and then would hardly accelerate. After driving the car for a couple minutes, turning it off, and turning it back on, it would finally accelerate but the check engine light would still be on and the gears would still jerk. The check engine light would go off after a couple days and everything would be fine and then it would all start again. Then my car is starting to switch over into neutral when driving 60mph+ and now it will do this multiple times when driving at any speed. When it switches over to neutral like this while I'm driving, the d for drive on the dash will become scrambled like it does when it jerks into reverse. The problem is getting worse.
Car was sputtering and hesitating. Check engine light came on. We took to mechanic and error p0705 transmission range sensor came up as the problem. Suzuki is aware of this ongoing problem and they are clearly ignoring the potential for a serious accident to occur by not recalling and rectifying the issue. Rather they are relying on their consumers to absorb the expense of this repair. My faith in Suzuki has definitely been shaken and this definitely will influence my decision to purchase another Suzuki or recommend Suzuki. It is time that Suzuki step up and admit their negligence, rectify the issue, compensate those who have absorbed the cost of this repair, and restore the faith in its consumers.
The problem started on 7/12/09. I had just gotten an oil change at wal-mart in jacksonville, ar, and as soon as I turned on the car the check engine light was on. Wal-mart of course denied any damages, but stated if something was done on their part they would reimburse me for the damages. From there I went to auto zone and was told that the codes were 700 and 705, which referred to the transmission sensor. The very next day the check engine light went off. Long story short, since that time the light has come on several times. Prior to the light coming on, my car would be in drive but would hesitate and feel as if it is in neutral. Also, a line would go across the d (drive) on my dashboard, and all of the other gears would appear to be something different on the dashboard (I. E. P (park) on the gear shift would read r (reverse) on the dashboard. I feel that this should not be happening on a 2007 model car. There are 62, 000 miles on this car, which are mostly highway miles. This is very frustrating and from what I have read on the web, this is a very common problem.
