2 Power Train problem of the 2008 Suzuki Reno

Failure Date: 03/17/2016

I've had to replace the throttle body as well as the transission range sensor and the trans axle control module. I've had to replace the arms on the windshield as well for the windshield wipers because they had came off while I was driving. This car has almost caused me my life multiple times and im so sick of no one trying to fix what is going on with it. I know that they dont make this model anymore but this care has been nothing but trouble and not everyone can buy a new car at this time so we are left to fix the mistakes of the maker.

7 Power Train problem of the 2008 Suzuki Reno

Failure Date: 02/28/2013

Occasionally, when starting my vehicle, I will notice that the "check engine" light is on. When going from park to reverse, it slams into gear. When going to drive, it also slams into gear. I had it checked out at the Suzuki dealership, and they said that it is not part of the drive train. It is the transmission range selector sensor that is bad, and as such, is not covered by the drive train warranty. This has been happening off and on for months, and by the time I can get it to the dealership, the issue has resolved it's self. Now, they want to charge me to replace a faulty part on the vehicle, that other people have had as well. This is unacceptable, to me, as I did not damage the part, it was faulty to begin with.

9 Power Train problem of the 2007 Suzuki Reno

Failure Date: 12/13/2012

Driving on the expressway about 60 mph my vehicle lost power. The accelerator stopped working. Immediately my vehicle went down to 30 mph. It felt like the gear went to neutral because the gas pedal wasn't working. In about 30 seconds went back to normal. But in about 20 minutes same thing happened again. It was very unsafe for the traffic around me. Thanks for my husband next to me, and his guidance as he is professional driver, I was able to make it safe to first lane.

10 Power Train problem of the 2006 Suzuki Reno

11 Power Train problem of the 2008 Suzuki Reno

Failure Date: 11/07/2012

Pulling out at a red light the car had no power like it stopped working or was out of gear hesitation. Check engine light came on transmission code p0705. Had it replaced at a reputable transmission repair shop. Same problem again 3/28/2013 given a replacement part free. Same problem again 4/15/2013 going to Suzuki 4/18/2013 for them to check the car. Stressing me out, I hope I don't get killed because of this loss of power. I guess I have to pay for this continuing problem which I don't see why they didn't do a recall when they are aware of this ongoing problem with my car as well as others.

12 Power Train problem of the 2007 Suzuki Reno

Failure Date: 11/01/2012

When attempting to shift the vehicle from park to reverse or drive there will be a loud clunk sound. The check engine light will come on and the vehicle will not accelerate. If you shut the vehicle off and then restart, it will then accelerate but will not shift properly. I had the vehicle to ken pollock Suzuki dealership in pennsylvania when it was still covered under warranty and they charged me $100. 00 dollars to run a diagnostic code scan. They said that they could not find the problem but when asked to explain the codes that were retrieved, I was informed that they were generic transmission codes and that they would not or could not fix the vehicle. This is a ongoing problem and a severe safety concern considering the amount of complaints logged against this model vehicle.

13 Power Train problem of the 2008 Suzuki Reno

Failure Date: 12/01/2011

Driving at 50mph and the car jolts into 4th gear and stays there. Making any take off from stop terrible. It must be very hard on the transmission and the power train. I have replace this part twice now and it still continues to happen. A recall is needed severely.

14 Power Train problem of the 2006 Suzuki Reno

Failure Date: 03/18/2010

My wife has bought this car brand new and seems like its going to be on its third trans and it only has 67000 miles on it. The cars engine lite comes on steady and drives fine for a little bit but after a while the light starts flashing and the car idles rough, goes 0-60 in christmas to next thanksgiving then will not shift correctly. It feels like it is taking off in third gear every time. When it finally gets going it shifts in the 5-7000 rpm range. We have taken it to the shop the first time and they said it was a sensor. They changed the sensor and still the same so they changed the trans at only under 30000 miles. Two days later and 12 miles down the road, the same thing occurs. We took it back to the dealer and they said there is nothing wrong with the car and that we will have to drive it. I have tried to email other dealers and noone will touch it. Now it is doing the same exact thing except the car will just not hardly move. It seems to be fouling out the plugs. I pulled them and they are all covered in fuel. It now feels like its the timing belt that slipped a tooth. Suzuki should stick with making bikes and not cars and maybe have better customer assistance. I am at lost for words or knowledge as to what to do. I feel that we shouldn't have to pay for repairs on something that should be recalled most definitely. It is highly dangerous and shouldn't be on the road. There has been instances where im about to turn left and the car looses power half way through the turn. Please do something about this death trap. My wife totes around other kids in this car for her job. Thank you.

17 Power Train problem of the 2005 Suzuki Reno

Failure Date: 09/16/2008

From day one, my engine light has come on and I have been dealing with different issues ie, it's the gas cap, the man who sold me the car, (the dealer) took the car to the dealership to be repaired,so much, then he took off, and left massachusetts after selling me a lemon. Etc. How many gas caps do I have to buy? now at year 2014, the engine and transmission has been replaced, the engine belt snaped, the transmission is acting up, (in July of 2010), and the sensor has gone completely wild, ie, comes on and goes off steadly, had that repaired, and when I drive the engine light still comes on and goes off, off, and on, and now the air bag light steadley does the same, after having it repaired twice. .
