Driving on the expressway about 60 MPH my vehicle lost power. The accelerator stopped working. Immediately my vehicle went down to 30 MPH. It felt like the gear went to neutral because the gas pedal wasn't working. In about 30 seconds went back to normal. But in about 20 minutes same thing happened again. It was very unsafe for the traffic around me. Thanks for my husband next to me, and his guidance as he is professional driver, I was able to make it safe to first lane.
2007 Suzuki Reno transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 26 of 26, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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 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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 suzuki reno. The contact stated that the vehicle would not accelerate beyond 30 MPH and the check engine light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that a transmission sensor was faulty. The vehicle was then taken to an authorized dealer and the sensor was replaced. The failure continued to recur. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 39,500. The range sensor was replaced. Updated 01/03/12
Vehicle loses acceleration, and doesn't react properly to gas pedal. This makes it difficult to merge onto oncoming traffic and could cause an accident. By reading online it seems to be the transmission range sensor, a lot of people on forums are writing about this fault. This is the second time I've had to replace the sensor in the past 2 years.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 suzuki reno. The contact stated when shifting into reverse, the vehicle would shift with an abnormal force and would not accelerate over 3 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who located the failure at the transmission range sensor. The transmission range sensor was replaced, but the failure was not corrected. The manufacturer as contacted and a complaint was filed (case number: 2274091298). The manufacturer denied any assistance with the repairs to the vehicle stating that the warranty had expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 25,000 and the current mileage was 85,700. The VIN was not available.
The check engine light is on all the time. My vehicle has been acting like it does not want to go into gear. While I am driving it, it will shift out of gear into neutral. When I shift gears it will make a loud "clunk" noise and occasionally jerk the car. The closest suzuki dealership near me (since mine closed) is about 2 to 3 hours away. Im sure my vehicle will not make it to the dealership.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 suzuki reno. The contact stated that she was unable to accelerate over 20 MPH and the vehicle was unable to shift between gears. The vehicle would exhibit an abnormal clunking noise followed by the illumination of the gear shifter warning light. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the transmission range sensor was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The current mileage was 67,000. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000. Updated 9/27/11 *cn the consumer stated when she put the vehicle in drive, it made a noise and then lurched forward. The indicator light for the gear flashed and the vehicle would not move out of 1st gear. Updated 10/07/711
Transmission range sensor. Car slams into gear and gets stuck in 2nd gear after stopping. Putting car in park also slams into gear. Seems to be a very common problem among reno/forenza owners. Takes quite a long time to repair and is about $300. Seems like it should be included in a recall/warranty since it is connected to the transmission but of course it is not.
Check engine light came on about a month ago, since then the transmission slips, has no power accelerating and sometimes drive won't work, just 3rd gear. When vehicle is driven over 50 MPH, rpms rev high, past 3 or 4 thousand. I think it's the transmission sensor failing.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 suzuki reno. The contact stated that the vehicle would hesitate to accelerate from stops. The vehicle would also jerk when shifting gears and the check engine light began to illuminate on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the transmission range sensor would need to be replaced. An authorized dealer was notified, but the manufacturer was not. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 62,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 suzuki reno. The contact stated was driving 65 MPH with the cruise control engaged when the vehicle suddenly slipped into neutral but the shifter indicated that the vehicle was still in drive. The vehicle independently decelerated to 30 MPH. The contact was able to drive to his destination where her performed a diagnostic himself and discovered that the transmission range sensor was faulty. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that he did not feel safe driving the vehicle to the dealer for repairs or further inspection.the VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 36,900.
1 placing the vehicle in any gear causes this particular problem. My vehicle began to show symptoms at about 30,000 miles. 2 when the vehicle is placed in any gear, a diagnostic code is set that only allows the vehicle to operate in drive or reverse. Lower gears are not allowed to operate when in this mode of operation. Initially the failure was when the vehicle was cold (below 60 degrees f) later the problem occurred frequently when the vehicle was started. The result is very sluggish acceleration of the vehicle which could result in a crash after pulling into traffic. 3 replacement of the "prndl" or park-neutral switch or transmission range switch ( all names for the same part) corrected the problem. Note: the transmission repair shop noted that this was a common failure item on many vehicles and the dealer where the replacement part was purchased had 3 in their shop (for the same problem) at the time the part was purchased. The dealer also told the transmission tech that they replaced about 3 of these switches per week on average.
Driving at 60 miles per hr and the car s speed will drop down to 20 miles and the engine light will come on (check engine)also I will be stopped at a red light when it is time to proceed and while pressing on gas pedal it will only go up to 5-8 miles it occurs every two to three days. The suzuki dealership has looked at it 5 times for the same thing they check the computer chip and tell me the gas cap was not on tight they replaced the gas pedal. They replaced the hose leading to the gas and pedal and they have it now again I just want my car fixed.
