Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Suzuki Reno

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.

On 04/21/15 another incident was when I was driving to the hospital and all of a sudden my car dropped to less than 20 mph and wouldn't accelerate. I had to pull over without power steering to get my son to the hospital. On 5/04/2015 I was driving my car to drop my son off at daycare and when I started my car it revved up the engine on its own from 2-3 rpm's and then idled and I put the car in drive and drove about 2 miles and then while I was at a stop light I was stopped and my car jerked forward slightly 2 times and you could hear the change in the car then all of a sudden it died. I waited about 4 minutes and started it up again and it got me to my sons daycare and then I shut it off took him in and went to start my car and it wouldn't start. After waiting for 3 minutes I tried again and the same thing happened on my way to work. My car died while I was at the stop light. This time I was on a hill and my car started rolling backwards but my brakes were on so I didn't hit the car behind me. The latest incident occurred while I was on the freeway and I was going 65 mph and it lost power and I slowed to 20 mph then my car died this time it took almost 15 minutes for me to start my car. I took it to the shop 4 times and they replaced my throttle body, throttle actuator control, and my throttle position sensor. It still didn't stop my car from dying. My mechanic told me it keeps losing the signal and the Suzuki dealer is shutting it off. I am very scared to drive my vehicle in case I get into an accident due to it continuously dying on me.

Car is having trouble when switching into gear as well as reverse and driving is very slow and restrained. The problem is so often on forums, it is strange this has not been recalled. Expensive to fix and seems to be a manufacturing fault/cheap part. Auto scanner said part is the transmission sensor.

I was driving my 2008 Suzuki Reno on the road 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 is going to cost me $200 to replace it because the warranty wont cover it. I highly believe it should be cover or do a recall on it. I give thanks to god I wasn't injured or I injure some one else please take me to consideration. Thank you and god bless you.

I own 2007 Suzuki Reno since this year. Car was running good now its has 85600 miles on it approximately .

For several weeks my car has been clunking into reverse and drive and getting stuck in 3rd gear while driving. I went to Suzuki and bought the transmission range sensor which is what is faulty. The Suzuki dealer was really surprised that we had 71000 miles on the car and had not had a problem yet (they know its a problem) I have not had a chance to change the sensor yet but my wife was driving the car today and when put into reverse the car went forward instead. Luckily there was only a curb that she hit but she could have hit a car or a person. She had to stop somewhere on the way home and had another problem in another parking lot where she shifted into reverse and instead of going forward the car shot out of the stall without her even touching the gas pedal. Again she did not hit anyone but how long will Suzuki let this happen before someone is killed. Also when the car gets stuck in 3rd gear it is very dangerous to pull out onto a road as you can barely accelerate fast enough to avoid oncoming traffic. The sensor will be replaced tonight when I get home but these cars should not be having these problems and according to the mechanics at Suzuki they see this problem all the time. I understand that parts break and cars have to be repaired, but this is something that is so poorly engineered that it is putting the occupants in the car as well as other people in danger. Some people have had to replace their trs over 7 times and Suzuki has yet to issue a recall.

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.

I bought my 2006 Suzuki Reno in 2008 with approx. 41000 miles on it. My car is currently approx. 90000 miles but the issue started happening around the 83000 mile mark. I was on the highway when all of a sudden, it felt like my car shifted into neutral while driving and went from 70mph to 30mph almost immediately. After that first instance, the car continually bangs into gear from park to reverse. It drives fine for a few minutes but then it continues to erratically shift into neutral while driving. Researched online about problem and seems numerous others have the exact same issue with Renos as well as forenzas. Transmission range sensor faulty. Please recall, it is extremely dangerous.

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.

The check engine came on, and I had a diagnostic done. It showed one O2 sensor was not good. It was replaced. After one week the light came on again, and another sensor needed to be replaced. About two weeks later, the light came on again, and the test showed that the catalytic convertor needed to be replaced. This was replaced. Two months later the light came on again, and it shows that both the O2 sensor and catalytic convertor need to be replaced. Nonetheless, the car passed the emissions test, but the light is still on, and the diagnostics still read the same; the O2 sensor and catalytic convertor need to be replaced. The acceleration now has problems. Sometimes, the car will hit 3-4 rpm while the acceleration is at 40 mph and will not go higher. Sometimes, I have to pull over because a "burning rubber smell" is emitted from the engine and comes into the car through the vents. The mileage now is about 96500.

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.

My 2008 Suzuki Reno has over 100,000 miles and I first experienced symptoms sometime in June 2010 only a year after I bought it. At first it was just that the car seemed to have trouble accelerating from a stop (like at a traffic light) and the check engine light came on. After that the symptoms got increasingly worse. It would intially have the same symptoms as listed above, then it would get better and the check engine light would turn off. Then I started getting the periodic clunk and scrambled gear display like all the gears with a line thru it on the dash. I told my husband who can work on older model cars and he drove it around the block with no problem, then he was in the car with my going down the interstate and it did it and almost made the car come to a complete stop from almost 70mph with vehicles behind us. I called the service department where I got it and they said that if the light wasn't staying on all the time, then there wasn't anything they would be able to do but that it didn't sound like it would be covered under warranty. I have had nothing but problems with my 2008 Reno since it reached 70,000 miles. I've kept up on my maintenance. Also both of my airbag lights stay on all the time, the passenger light stays on as if no one is sitting in it even with a 200 pound person sitting in the seat. The car hasn't been in any accidents to make them not read right.

My 2007 Suzuki Reno jerks when you put it into reverse and check engine light comes on, then when you put it into drive it goes really slow and sometimes I have to drive it in 3rd gear I've read around done some research and I've seen alot of people with the same problem.

The contact owns a 2008 Suzuki Reno. While driving 20 mph, the contact applied the brakes. The vehicle jerked forward and began to accelerate automatically. The contact applied the emergency brake, but the acceleration continued. She struck the preceding vehicle and damaged the passenger side of her vehicle. Prior to the crash, the vehicle began to automatically accelerate when the engine was started. The dealer has not been notified. The current and failure mileages were 1,900.
