| Vehicle Speed Control problems |
Transmission control module (tcm) for the cvt, the tcm may detect an abnormality in the cvt pulley ratio under as a result of the unusual movement of the stepper motor. The malfunction indicator light (mil) may illuminate and the cvt could go into a fail safe mode resulting in the vehicle losing acceleration. Contacted the Suzuki corporation and they state my VIN is not showing this recall however, the vehicle is doing the exact same thing. Recall notice has been out for this exact year, make and model of this vehicle, but denies that it's for this vehicle. While driving on the highway this vehicle went into like a safety type mode and would not accelerate, and the vehicle will not exit the fail safe mode and needs dealership attention. I almost died on the highway from this issue.
Car has begun lurching and rpm gauge fluctuating at highway speeds (above 60 mph). Transmission fluid was replaced at 80k miles by Suzuki dealer, now at 88k miles and having issue. This is not safe on the highway!.
The contact owns a 2010 Suzuki Kizashi. The contact stated that on three occasions while driving 25 mph, the rpms increased to 1,800 while the brakes were depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for diagnostic testing but they were unable to find a failure code. The dealer also test drove the vehicle and was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer filed report 2-242457358. The failure mileage was 2,500 and the current mileage was 5,100. Updated 05/03/lj.
