Transmission Sensor problems of the 2008 Suzuki Reno

This really should be enforced as a recall. Obd2 codes are p0705 and p0705p (transmission range sensor failures). When shifting to d or r, the check engine light goes on, you hear a loud voice and the car shakes, it's scary. The failure starts soon after powertrain warranty expiration date. I realized this happens to a lot of owners of Suzuki cars, sharing the exact same experiences. It's a shame Suzuki charges $500 to repair something that happens to virtually everyone. On the internet everyone complains of the same problem. My car has only 20,550 miles. It really should be mandated as a recall. Thank you very much!.

The contact owns a 2008 Suzuki Reno. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph the vehicle decelerated. The contact noticed a whining noise. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis. The mechanic stated the transmission range sensor would have to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000.

Vehicle lurched and hopped out of gear. I took the vehicle to the mechanic, he stated the code indicated the transmission range sensor was having an issue, not covered by warranty. I had it replaced at a later date. The fix lasted about 2 months and the sensor again went bad, I just had it replaced again but it did not solve all of the issues, I have to drive in 3 to keep the car shifting and keep it from randomly hopping out of gear. This is dangerous! I have pulled out onto highways and had the car jump out of gear and not be able to manuever to a safe spot, nearly getting hit numerous times. This is a known issue! if you visit any Suzuki or repair forum you will see numerous posts on this exact problem. It is a safety issue as well as a mechanical one. This needs to be investigated before someone dies.

While driving the car automatically downshifts into neutral. I was told it was a transmission range sensor and it was not covered by the warranty. This will cost + or - 250. 00. The car is still covered by the 100,000 mile 10 year warranty and has only 38,000 miles on it. I was told that this is a common occurrence on Suzuki Renos and forenzas. . . Is this a defective part. It is dangerous-.
