2 Engine problem of the 2005 Suzuki Forenza

Failure Date: 03/01/2008

I took my car into the dealership in the beginning of January 2008 for the 2 safety recalls to be repaired. The very next day my car struggled to shift 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears. I called the dealership and told them what was going on and they set up an appointment for the next day. They drove the car and said it wasn't doing anything. So, I left the dealership and my car continued to do this. My car progressively got worse with the engine revving high and not wanting to shift gears. It eventually began jerking violently when trying to shift all gears! I made another appointment with Suzuki on February 26, 2008 and drove the car while the manager rode along with me. My car was having a very mild day as far as the jerking and hard shifting and only did it once while he was with me. They reset the computer part of the transmission and sent me on my way. Well, the very next day the car went right back to it's old way of jerking and shifting hard. On March 1, 2008 I was pulling out from a side road onto a main road and my car did not want to go! the engine just revved very high and wouldn't shift gears! I didn't know what to do other than to floor it! it eventually shifted gears and went on down the road. Now that I am doing a little more research I see that others are having similar problems (odi 10211177, odi 10145983, odi 10144874). I really feel like Suzuki is just trying to hold off until I pass the 36,000 mile mark so they don't have to worry about it. This vehicle is unsafe to drive and the dealership in my area does not give loaner cars anymore because of insurance liability reasons. Well, this is my only vehicle so I don't have a choice but to drive an unsafe vehicle. I really thought Suzuki's customer service was much better than this!.

3 Engine problem of the 2006 Suzuki Forenza

Failure Date: 06/01/2006

: the contact stated on three separate occasions, the vehicle would not start in the morning without the accelerator pedal being pressed. The dealership was unable to determine the problem but believed it may have been a software problem that was aggravated by the climate updated 6/16/2006 - the dealer took the car back nd gave the consumer full credit towards another vehicle.
