Transmission Sensor problems of the 2007 Suzuki Reno

I have a 2007 Suzuki Reno. This vehicle has gone through five (5) transmission rage sensors since I bought it new in November, 2006. Started having problems within two months. Dealership in rock hill, SC had already shut down and doors were padlocked. Have paid a lot of money to have this same sensor changed five times. Why has Suzuki not recalled this vehicle to correct the transmission problem?? why has the NHTSA done nothing for all of these complaints about the same issue? my car "shifts" into neutral going down highway causing loss of power and acceleration without notice; then check engine light comes on. It is very unnerving and unsafe!!! please do something!!.

I had loss of power, the car was not going into gear, went into neutral while driving replaced the transmission range sensor roughly 8mos ago and I am now experiencing the same symptoms now and just ordered the part from Suzuki dealership.

Engine light comes on and goes off. Car has problems starting: sometimes it starts in park, sometimes it will only start in neutral, other times I have to go through all the gears and go back to neutral. Transmission range sensor seems to be problem from my online research.

Going into reverse heard and felt a hard loud clunk. Check engine light came on and car bare ly moved. Kept slipping in to neutral on highway top shop. Had checked transmission range sensor.

Car check engine light was on for a few days, then turned off. When I turned on the car, the check engine light was back on, put car in reverse and clunk, while the display where the r for reverse would have been was scrambled, car still reversed. Clunked into drive, and wouldn't switch out of 1st gear. This occurs sporadically. Check engine code signaled transmission range sensor malfunction. There are many other occurrences for the same model year which occurs around 70000 miles.

Transmission range sensor is faulty. Car bangs into gear from park and reverse, as well as erratically shifts into neutral while driving.

Vehicle loses acceleration, and doesn't react properly to gas pedal. This makes it difficult to merge onto oncoming traffic and could cause an accident. By reading online it seems to be the transmission range sensor, a lot of people on forums are writing about this fault. This is the second time I've had to replace the sensor in the past 2 years.

Transmission range sensor. Car slams into gear and gets stuck in 2nd gear after stopping. Putting car in park also slams into gear. Seems to be a very common problem among Reno/forenza owners. Takes quite a long time to repair and is about $300. Seems like it should be included in a recall/warranty since it is connected to the transmission but of course it is not.

Check engine light came on about a month ago, since then the transmission slips, has no power accelerating and sometimes drive won't work, just 3rd gear. When vehicle is driven over 50 mph, rpm,s rev high, past 3 or 4 thousand. I think it's the transmission sensor failing.

I was driving my 2007 Suzuki Reno on the highway on my way to work when the car started to slow down despite me trying to give it gas, and the check engine light appeared. I pulled over and put the car in park and turned it off for a moment. I turned the car back on and the check engine light remained on. When trying to shift back into drive, my car jolted and an x appeared over the d where the gears are located. Frightened, I turned the car off again and called the dealership, who told me to bring it in. They explained it was the transmission range sensor and fixed it free of charge because it was under warranty. 3 years 2 months later the exact same thing happened again, luckily I was not driving this time only trying to shift into drive when an x appeared over the d again. I took it to a different Suzuki dealer who explained that because it was outside the transmission it is not covered under warranty I would need to pay for the repair. No explanation was given as to why this was happening again. Now here we are exactly 4 months later to the day and the same thing happened again while I was driving. I called the dealership and they said they will repair it for free because they only repaired it months ago, but still no explanation as to what the problem is. I now see I am not the only one having this issue with this vehicle, and was told by a mechanic, that part of this car is defective. I am livid at this point because I bought the car brand new with 27 miles on it and have had nothing but trouble ever since!! aggravation and money is all that car has been to me.

I have replaced the transmission range sensor twice since purchasing my car new in 2008 and just last week I started having the same issue! so I will be replacing this same part for the 3rd time since purchasingit new 6 years ago.
