Suzuki forenza 2007, 42,000 miles. 1) transmission range sensor: transmission slips when in drive -- panel shows a "d" with a slash through it. After researching, have found this to be extremely common among the most well-maintained forenzas. Unacceptable. Engine light came on and as soon as I tried to go forward ,the car would just decelerate down like 10 or 20 MPH "scary" within a matter of seconds and no matter how much I pushed the pedal to accelerate to the floor but it was as if I didn't have power. 2)tire pressure light comes on every other day. 3)the front passenger air bag light comes on to show the air bag is not working even if I have a passenger seated properly in the front seat.

2007 suzuki forenza...air bag warning light stays on, had it fixed four times and its back on again. This is a very intriguing situation as well as very dangerous. My warranty is expired as of april 13, 2010....my dealership is eighty miles away from my house. Service contract was voided after original dealership energy country suzuki folded and I had already purchased vehicle. They still have suzuki experience but refuse to work my car and honor the service contract they offered with the vehicle. Energy country ford, still exists and their mechanics are trained on suzuki's and they promised me that they would continue to service my car but now they have welshed on the contract. My car needs serviced but I have to take it eighty miles into louisiana. I live in texas. And this is the only vehicle that I own. A royal screwing all the way around...

The front passenger air bag light comes on to show the air bag is not working even if I have a passenger seated properly in the front seat. It does not do this all the time but it happens enough to concern me and my wife. I had the same problem with a 2006 model year of the same car. We had other problems with that car as well and the dealer took it back and sold us the 2007 which has some of the same problems. This has been happening on and off since we got the car in march of 2007.
