I have been complaining about the sensors in my 2008 Suzuki Forenza from the first week I bought it. There has been one problem after another and the warranty is bogus. This company has ripped off tons of cionsumers whch is probably why they dcided to not make this car anymore. I am now having problems with my tranmission sensor which causes my car to jump out of gear while driving. The other day it did that and another car almost rear ended me in the back! what would have happened if they hadnt of stopped? me and my daughter could have been killed. I guess thats what Suzuki is waiting on for someone to literally die before they will admit that the parts on these vehicles are defective and no matter how many times you have the problem fixed it will become faulty again. Im sure there have been complaints made to the company but noone ever calls you back or even acknowledges that your concerns are real. Most consumers either hurry up and unload this lemon or wind up spending thousands of dollar to keep it half way running. I refuse to pass this junk off for someone else to go through the headaches and heartache I have had and if its the last thing I do im going to out Suzuki for the worst car company that they are. Their dealerships are ripoffs too. Something needs to be done about this blatant lying to consumers and then the horrible customer service after they have clearly sold you a lemon.

The car hesitates during cold start up. The car also jumps out of gear while I'm driving and has led to several near miss accidents where both me and my daughter could have been severely injured. Trying to get help from the american Suzuki customer assistance is a joke. The customer service is bad and every time you call back to follow-up the person that was handling your case mysteriously quits. All they do is jerk you around until the basic warranty expires and you're no longer their problem. After this all repairs are out of pocket. I have taken my car to get repaired several times and each time they don't know whats wrong. I have had two new transmissions put in and my car only has 29,856 miles on it. I can't believe there hasn't been a recall on this vehicle; it is a safety hazard. I guess this is why Suzuki was so quick to discontinue maufacturing this vehicle the same year it was produced. I want Suzuki to take responsibility for this defective vehicle and either replace it or refund the purchase price of the car. I refuse to pass this problem on to another consumer. The dealerships clearly misrepresented the safety and quality of this vehicle. Its not fair that consumers are getting ripped off and no one seems to care!!.

A malfunction occurs when I attempt to shift gears from park to any other. 1. It makes a loud, deep sound, similar to "thunk-thunk" and if I don't have my foot on the brake hard enough, the car lurches. 2. The dashboard signal for pdrn etc randomly changes to a weird symbol that is not any letter in the american alphabet. 3. It makes a revving sound which should indicate a higher velocity when in fact it is at a lower velocity. 4. It will not accelerate properly. When entering a high frequency road or highway, I have to floor the gas pedal to go normal speed then maintain it. 5. It shifts out of drive into neutral while I am driving and independently of my activity, thankfully approximately only about once every month. 6. The check engine light is always on. 7. The mechanic said it was related to the transmission but was called a range something or other. 8. I notice these problems more in stop-and-go city traffic than on long uninterrupted distances. 9. I consider these random car behaviour problems unstable and unsafe. 10. To any driver new to handling/driving my car, I would have to explain its quirks for them to drive and not have a tragic vehicular accident involving the improper response of my car to normal use. 11. The warranty ran out long ago. It was only for three years. The problems started occurring after the warranty expired, of course. 12. It will cost me about $200 to get the range whatchamacallit fixed, $200 of which I believe Suzuki should pay. Unrelated problem, sometimes the seatbelt buckle unclicks itself.
