Forenza

  • 46,835 miles
My check engine light came on and was put on machine and got a PO700 and PO705 which required a sensor which should not have been on a brand new car. From my understanding there have been a lot of problems with this and I don't understand why a recall has not been done on this because my warranty did not cover this do to not being inside the transmission due to Suzuki's rules.
