I could really use some assistance. I have a 2007 Forenza and yesterday as I was putting the car into reverse, it made a loud clunking noise. The gear selector display on the dash seemed to go haywire displaying all the letters (D, R, N, etc) with a diagonal line through it. It then went back to normal, then the "check engine" light came on. They hooked up the diagnostic computer and it came up with codes PO700 and PO705, which varies in wording but seems like it's the transmission range sensor.I have read that many other people have had the same problem. This is a problem that Suzuki should take care of a sensor cost to those who bought their cars.

My check engine light came on to find that my transmission switch had gone bad causing it not to shift correctly....thinking no big deal, I took it to my mechanic. He said these transmissions were known as throw away transmissions. I came home and googled my problem to find numerous lower mileage Suzuki Forenzas with the same issue, some almost causing accidents. Please consider a mandatory recall on this part.

The car has a big problem changing gear and when I drive sometimes it slows down and couple of times I almost got into accident because of car slowing down and at times when I try to switch gears it clunks so hard and it is becoming very dangerous driving with my kids in the car because either the car wont change gears or looses speed when I am driving and that can cause a big accident and I call Suzuki dealership and its not under warranty, there should be a recall on this vehicle it is very dangerous and they are the ones making poor quality parts for the engine, and from other consumers I am not the only one with the same issue and worries. Please help!
