Battery Problems of Suzuki Forenza

Today my wife noticed that the battery indicator and brake indicator lights illuminated on the cluster panel this morning while driving to work, as well as the speedo needle bouncing around when coming to a stop. I picked up the car and drove it to auto zone to see if there were not any obd ii codes stored. I too noticed the brake/battery lights, as well as the speedo needle would jump when I used my turn signals. I got it to auto zone and there were no codes stored. It was after the code scanner was hooked up my real problems began. When putting the car in gear (either d or r) it would slam into gear, the speedo didn't work and to top it all off, the car had no acceleration. I had this issue before, and it turned out it was the transmission range selector. Well, that was replaced no less than 10k miles ago. Please, someone place this car on the lemon list so I can recoup my losses. When there is next to no acceleration, it can cause an accident because the car can not move fast enough to avoid getting clipped (or worse).

I have had so many problems with this car!! it started out as I was shift into or past reverse. Now it shifts on it's own while driving, while pulling into traffic, while at stoplights/stop signs. You will be driving and it will jerk and put itself into park but still go. It's like driving a stick shift without letting off the clutch. This is a very dangerous vehicle to drive. You don't know when it's going to act up. I have my daughter in the car and wait until it's absolutely clear to pull out due to this. Tonight (10/13/11) I was driving, hit a bump in the road that I've driven over a million times and simultaneously, my brake light and my battery light came on. I drove to my destination with my lights dimming slowly and pulled into the spot and the car died. I spoke to the local Suzuki dealership and asked the service tech is he gets alot of issues with this sensor and he says "the numbers are higher than they should be for this car".

I am sick and tired of replacing my transmission range sensor!!!!!!!!!! and now after doing so, once again. My car wont start, battery is fine. I think that this needs to be a recall!!!! I have one more year left to pay off this car. I cant afford to keep replacing this problem. Had to replace this problem in 2009, and now again. Someone fix this!!!!.

The contact owns a 2006 Suzuki Forenza. The contact noticed that the tranmission shifted eratically since purchasing it in January 2008. He first. While driving on approximately 55-60 mph, the vehicle slowed down, sped up, lunged forward and shifted into gear without warning. There was also a roaring noise on the front end of the vehicle, a clicking sound near the dashboard, and every light turned off except the check engine light. The radio and air conditioner intermittently turned off and after five minutes, they both began operating normally. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure; however, the manufacturer would not authorize the dealer to inspect or repair the vehicle. On one occasion, the windows would not close causing rain to enter inside of the vehicle, 20 minutes later he was able to close the windows; however, the vehicle began to lose power with the motor on and fully functional. The service advisor at the dealership stated that the acceleration pedal sensor could have caused the failure. The manufacturer once again authorized the dealer to disconnect the battery. The current mileage was approximately 23,800 and the failure mileage was approximately 13,000.
