Transmission Gear Indicator Problems of Suzuki Forenza

I own a 2006 Suzuki Forenza wagen with an automatic trans-axle that I bought new from a dealership (expo Suzuki) selling Suzuki motor cars, in kingwood, texas. Problems started happening to my car while I was in my driveway attempting to shift from park to drive, when I noticed the gear selection indicator window on the dashboard started displaying odd readings other than park or drive or a combination of its range modes(r,d,n,1 and 2) with a slash line going through it, indicating that an error/malfunction is occurring (this started at 75,000 miles or less, on the vehicle's odometer. ), I shut off the car and restarted it with no error/malfunctions displayed; good, but the vehicle now drove sluggish; it would not drive beyond 20mph or less. It was taken back to the Suzuki dealership by tow-truck where I purchased the car from, and they claimed that no problems were found. Instances also involving this same problem with my Suzuki Forenza wagen came on the highway. The malfunction caused the car to quickly come to a near dangerous stop in heavy houston texas traffic, due to the nss(neutral safety switch) malfunctioning without warning; almost involving me in a near fatal collision going at highway speeds; I happened to look and see the dashboard gear indicator window had that slash mark(s) in it again. I've taken my car back and forth, to my Suzuki dealership because of the neutral safety switch problem, with them only replacing the transmission, this time. Dealerships in houston texas who sold Suzuki motor cars up until recent, will not touch this particular transmission, I've been told to just replace it, if its under Suzuki motors warranty? o. K. Fine. This has not remedied my ongoing problems with this car.

With the Forenza when you put it in gear to drive or reserve periodically it will flash a symbol in the gear indicator with a line through it this causes the car to make a loud clunking noise and barely move at all this is a big issue because the car barely moves and it does it randomly I could be driving and it losing its gear and starts to move slowly it can cause an accident with me never knowing when it will happen needs to be fixed read online lots of people are having the same issue with this car and I had a Suzuki prior and it did the same thing had the car less than a week and its doing this.
