I'm having issues with the range sensor on my 2008 suzuki reno. I replaced it last year with a new one and failed july 2016. I replaced it with a new one. Now its late november and again problems with the range sensor again!!!!!!!!! After relacing it with a new one in july 2017 that's 4 months after and I need to replace again??? What is going on here looked this up and there are alot of issues with range sensor on the reno's. I'm unemployed and not getting any benefits can't be relpacing this part over and over again!!!!! There should be a recall on this!!!!!!!!!! This happens when I turn my car on as I go into drive mode I feel a jolt/tug and check engine light comes on. I could be driving then I feel a tug and check engine light up. Also when I try to speed up it feels sluggish it does not pick up like it normally does. Just yesterday I was braking as I came off the expressway and I felt that tug and check engine light pops up and my stopped!!!! Wth if I had a car in back of me there could have been an accident!!!!!!!! What is going on here?? When I replace the range sensor the teeth on the sensor are all scuffed!!! This has been happening on and off. Normally I turn my car off wait a while start it back up and the check engine light if off.

My 2007 suzuki reno only have around 56000 miles and it started to shake while putting it on reverse gear. Don't move sometime after putting it on drive and make loud noise as I try to accelerate, engine light is on since july 2nd and these issues started from that time. I took it to a local o'reilly to check engine light code and they said its a transmission related code.

This really should be enforced as a recall. Obd2 codes are p0705 and p0705p (transmission range sensor failures). When shifting to d or r, the check engine light goes on, you hear a loud voice and the car shakes, it's scary. The failure starts soon after powertrain warranty expiration date. I realized this happens to a lot of owners of suzuki cars, sharing the exact same experiences. It's a shame suzuki charges $500 to repair something that happens to virtually everyone. On the internet everyone complains of the same problem. My car has only 20,550 miles. It really should be mandated as a recall. Thank you very much!

When attempting to shift the vehicle from park to reverse or drive there will be a loud clunk sound. The check engine light will come on and the vehicle will not accelerate. If you shut the vehicle off and then restart, it will then accelerate but will not shift properly. I had the vehicle to ken pollock suzuki dealership in pennsylvania when it was still covered under warranty and they charged me $100.00 dollars to run a diagnostic code scan. They said that they could not find the problem but when asked to explain the codes that were retrieved, I was informed that they were generic transmission codes and that they would not or could not fix the vehicle. This is a ongoing problem and a severe safety concern considering the amount of complaints logged against this model vehicle.

I bought my car in early feb, 2014, and I am already having problems with it. I bought my car from [xxx], and was told when I bought it that it recently had brake/tire/system work done, but they refused to let me keep a copy of the bill for said work. When showed the car, there were dents and scratches on the car, but I was told the car had not been in any accidents. When I recently used carfax to check the history of the car, it had 15 reports on it. [xxx] also sold me insurance for my car, which I was told would cover nearly bumper to bumper, but it so far hasn't covered anything that has gone wrong with the car. Starting this summer, I had to replace one of my tires because it was dryrotted and about to explode. The other tires are dryrotting as well, and are certainly not new like I was told. The brakes squeak when go to use them, I've already had to balance the car, and the back alignment is completely out. My check engine light came on in late june, and after getting a diagnostic, I was told it was a sensor. When looking online to order the part (since the insurance doesn't cover that either), I learned that I also needed to replace the throttle body. I called up suzuki to double check, and they confirmed it. Suzuki also told me that they had stopped making that part altogether, even though the car model is 8 yrs old. Because the sensor or part is bad, I fear when I drive over 55 MPH because at times the car will stop accelerating (almost like I went on cruise control, which my car does not have), and I have to let off the gas and reapply the gas to get my car to go faster. In may, I recieved/heard the recall notice for my car. I got a letter in june from suzuki that they still did not have the part for my car, and would send a letter when they got it. I still have not gotten the new letter. 'information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

From day one, my engine light has come on and I have been dealing with different issues ie, it's the gas cap, the man who sold me the car, (the dealer) took the car to the dealership to be repaired,so much, then he took off, and left massachusetts after selling me a lemon. Etc. How many gas caps do I have to buy? Now at year 2014, the engine and transmission has been replaced, the engine belt snapped, the transmission is acting up, (in july of 2010), and the sensor has gone completely wild, ie, comes on and goes off steadily, had that repaired, and when I drive the engine light still comes on and goes off, off, and on, and now the air bag light steadily does the same, after having it repaired twice. The website www.topix.com/forum/city/florence/al has hundreds of complaints on all of the suzuki vehicles from 2005-2012. How many complaints do you have to have in order to do something about these suzuki vehicles? I don't think it's fair to have to pay for these kind of repairs, still making car notes, on this car, and I have to have top notch insurance. I would like to know what someone is going to do about these vehicles. I am hoping it doesn't have to take someone to be killed in order for something to happen for a recall. The warranty was only for 90 days, and though I exercised it. I got the run around because the dealer, and the dealership didn't do the rightful repairs on this vehicle in the time allowed. The fault is on both.

I have a 2007 suzuki reno. This vehicle has gone through five (5) transmission rage sensors since I bought it new in november, 2006. Started having problems within two months. Dealership in rock hill, sc had already shut down and doors were padlocked. Have paid a lot of money to have this same sensor changed five times. Why has suzuki not recalled this vehicle to correct the transmission problem?? Why has the federal safety agency done nothing for all of these complaints about the same issue? My car "shifts" into neutral going down highway causing loss of power and acceleration without notice; then check engine light comes on. It is very unnerving and unsafe!!! Please do something!!
