About 2.5 months after I purchased my car, I had to put a brand new transmission in it due to the shift sensor went bad. Now just after the warranty ran out it is bad again. This time I am going to drive the car till it dies and then scrap it. I don't have the money to fix it. Suzuki needs to figure out what is wrong with their cars, and fix it.
