Suzuki Reno 2007 — Reported problems

LUCKILY I WAS PARKED. TURNED ON MY CAR TO ROLL UP THE WINDOWS AND SUDDENLY THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT EXPLODED,WITH WHAT LOOKED LIKE AN AIRBAG INSIDE THE SEAT. IT HIT MY ARM CAUSING A BRUISE. THE SEAT IS NOW TORN AND BUSTED.

TAKATA RECALL. I GOT INTO MY CAR TO LEAVE. I REACHED BACK FOR MY SEAT BELT AND THE AIRBAG INSIDE THE DRIVERS SEAT DEPLOYED. MY CAR WAS NOT IN MOTION, I WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT AND THE CAR WAS NOT IMPACTED BY ANYTHING. THE AIRBAG STRUCK ME ON THE LEFT SIDE AND I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND WENT INSIDE TO THE ER BECAUSE I WAS ALREADY AT THE HOSPITAL FOR A REGULAR APPOINTMENT. I DID NOT SIT BACK HARD IN THE SEAT, I SIMPLY REACHED BACK FOR MY SEAT BELT AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED FROM WITHIN THE DRIVERS SEAT, NOT THE SIDE OF THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI RENO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED STALLING AND AN ABNORMAL NOISE COULD BE HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE HAD AN ABNORMAL ODOR. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,000.

AFTER GOING AND HAVING THE WIRING CHECKED AT PUGMIRE SUZUKI, FOR MY AIRBAG RECALL , IN NOVEMBER 2017, AND HAVING NO PROBLEMS SEEN, I AM NOW IN FEBURARY 2017, EXPERIENCING MY AIRBAG WARNING/IDIOT LIGHT ON MY CAR'S DASH. PUGMIRE SUZUKI REFUSES TO REXAMINE THE CAR, WITHOUT ME PAYING $100.00 TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ACCIDENT, AND THE AIRBAG IS UNUSED.

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.

TAKATA RECALL: THE STEERING WHEEL LIGHT KEEP COMING ON AND OFF. IM NOT SURE WHY, I KEEP FLUID IN THE TUBE. THE ENGINE LIGHT NEVER GOES OFF. THIS ALL HAPPENEDES IN APRIL 2015 AT THE HOUSE ADDRESS THE CAR FIRST PURCHASED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 SUZUKI RENO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH IN THE ON POSITION, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT FILED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI RENO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TURNING ON AND OFF. THE CONTACT STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN SHE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT A RECALL NOTIFICATION WAS RECEIVED FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V262000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

ELECTRIC LOCKS CONTINUE TO CYCLE ON AND OFF, NOT IN COMPLETE MOVEMENT OR CIRCUIT ON AND OFF CYCLES, CAUSING UNDUE LOAD ON ALTERNATOR, AND CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL OUT, OCCASIONALLY EVEN AT A ZERO SPEED, OR IN REVERSE...UPDATED 10-26-15 *BF GIVEN THE POOR ELECTRICAL HISTORY OF THIS MODEL CAR, I FORMALLY REQUEST A RECALL IN REGARDS TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE DOORS COULD LOCK OR UNLOCK AT ANY GIVEN TIME. FURTHERMORE, THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS, THAT WAS RECALLED BY NHSTA, HAS BEEN REPLACED PREVIOUS TO THIS INCIDENT. AND THE DAY OR TIME THAT THIS PROBLEM STARTED.

ISSUE NOTED: A HESITATION/LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN RAPID DECELERATION AND NO RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATION PEDAL/THROTTLE. SEVERAL "PUMPS" OF THE PEDAL WERE REQUIRED AND AFTER SOME COASTING, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATOR WOULD RESPOND AGAIN. ISSUE NOTED AS BEING WORSE IN WARMER TEMPERATURES AND ALSO WHEN DRIVING ON HILLS/INCLINES. ISSUE CREATES A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN WHEN PULLING INTO OR ACROSS LANES WITH TRAFFIC AS THE ISSUE MAY REOCCUR AT ANY TIME. ON THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE (10-12-09), VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO DEALERSHIP W/ HESITATION AND LOSS OF POWER. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME WITH PART#13400-85Z20. ISSUE REOCCURRED (06/09/11) AND DEALERSHIP CHECKED ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS/GROUND WIRES, ETC. AND APPLIED STABLIANT 22 TO TERMINALS. ISSUE REOCCURRED (08/24/11) AND THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED AGAIN WITH PART# 13400-85Z21. ISSUE REOCCURRED (01/25/12) AND WAS TAKEN TO AN IMPORT SPECIALIST THAT SUSPECTED THE FOOT PEDAL SENSOR (EST. COST 350.00). SUBSEQUENT SERVICE AT DEALERSHIP INCLUDED WIRING/SIGNAL CORRELATION WORK BETWEEN THROTTLE BODY AND FOOT PEDAL SENSOR. ISSUE IS REOCCURRING NOW (07/07/15) AND AFTER $1597.22 IN REPAIR COSTS SINCE 2007 WITH THIS ISSUE, I AM HESITANT TO SPEND MORE MONEY ON A POORLY ENGINEERED PRODUCT THAT THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR BY ISSUING A RECALL (SIMILAR COMPLAINTS NOTED ON THIS SITE AND ONLINE.)

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI RENO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOSS ACCELERATION POWER. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE SPEED DECREASED TO 25 MPH. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

ON 07/21/2014 VEHICLE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN OFF AFTER TURNING OFF VEHICLE AND REMOVING KEY FROM THE IGNITION. FIVE (5) MONTHS LATER AND TWO (2) RECALL LETTERS FROM SUZUKI, THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *TR

WIFE GOT IN THE CAR THIS A.M. TURNED THE KEY AND BOOM DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AIR BAG BLEW UP. *TR

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. *TR

DESPITE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE CONNECTION PROBLEMS ON THE SIDE AIRBAGS FOR BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON. THIS IS AFTER SUZUKI REALIZED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS STRETCHED TOO TIGHT WHEN THE SEAT WAS ROLLED BACK INTO IT'S FULL LENGTH. THE FIX WAS TO BREAK THE CONNECTION OFF OF THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT, WRAP THE CONNECTION IN VELCRO, AND STICK THE CONNECTION ONTO TO CARPETED FLOOR. DESPITE SEVERAL TIMES OF HAVING THE AIRBAG LIGHT CLEARED, THE LIGHT HAS ONCE AGAIN COME ON. ACCORDING TO ONLINE RESEARCH, MANY OTHER DRIVERS ARE HAVING THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

UPON EXECUTING A LEFT HAND TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 32 MPH, THE INNER SUPPORT BRACE IN THE BOTTOM SEAT CUSHION BROKE. THIS CAUSED MY FOOT WHICH WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR TO BE JAMMED FORWARD AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DOWNSHIFT AND ACCELERATE THROUGH THE TURN. THE SEAT IS NOW UNABLE TO BE ADJUSTED FORWARD OR BACKWARD. UPON FURTHER ONLINE RESEARCH, THIS IS QUITE A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THESE CARS. *TR

ON 07/21/2014 I ARRIVED AT WORK TURNED OFF MY 2007 SUZUKI RENO. LATER THAT DAY A COWORKER ADVISED ME MY RENO LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY HUSBAND AND HE TOLD ME TO TRY TURNING THE VEHICLE ON THAN OFF AGAIN BUT TO NO AVAIL. HE INSTRUCTED ME TO GET HOME AS SOON AS I CAN SO HE COULD REMOVE THE DRL AND GO ON-LINE TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER FURTHER. THE FOLLOWING WEEK WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM SUZUKI MOTOR OF AMERICA. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL DEALERS IN OUR AREA WITH NEGATIVE RESPONSE. WE CANNOT DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT VERY FRUSTRATING. *TR

I HAD LOSS OF POWER, THE CAR WAS NOT GOING INTO GEAR, WENT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR ROUGHLY 8MOS AGO AND I AM NOW EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS NOW AND JUST ORDERED THE PART FROM SUZUKI DEALERSHIP. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI RENO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOOK, HESITATED, AND LOST ACCELERATION INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

I HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR TWICE SINCE PURCHASING MY CAR NEW IN 2008 AND JUST LAST WEEK I STARTED HAVING THE SAME ISSUE! SO I WILL BE REPLACING THIS SAME PART FOR THE 3RD TIME SINCE PURCHASINGIT NEW 6 YEARS AGO. *TR

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 NHTSA 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!! *TR

WARNING LIGHT FOR AIR BAG SYSTEM CAME ON AND STAYS ON, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE CAR FAX FOR THIS CAR SHOWS NO ACCIDENT WHERE AIRBAGS WHERE USED, AT ANY TIME IN THE PAST. CALLED PUGMIRE SUZUKI, IN MARIETTA, GA. AND THEY ADVISED THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY, SINCE IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PART, AND THAT I WOULD HAVE NO USE OF AIRBAGS, UNTIL IT WAS DIAGNOSED FOR 100 DOLLARS AND THEN REPAIRED FOR AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT THAT IS MORE THAN THE 100 DOLLARS, AND I DECIDED NOT TO GO AND GET IT FIXED BECAUSE IT IS 70 MILES TO THE NEAREST DEALER, AND THEREFORE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THERE WITH NO AIR BAG USE POSSIBLE. THIS SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY THE CAR MAKER, BECAUSE IT IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI RENO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOOK, HESITATED AND LOST ACCELERATION. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED, WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,000. UPDATED 11/19/13*CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE DEALER AT A COST OF $300.

AT AROUND 55,000 MILES AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON, VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, READ ONLINE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD BY SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN FOR AIRBAG RELATED PROBLEMS FOR A 2007 SUZUKI RENO. *JB

I OWN 2007 SUZUKI RENO SINCE THIS YEAR. CAR WAS RUNNING GOOD NOW ITS HAS 85600 MILES ON IT APPROXIMATELY . I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUE BUT SINCE LAST SIX MONTH, MY TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR CAUSING LOTS OF PROBLEM I ALREADY SPENT $350 FOR REPAIR BUT NOW I REPLACED IT SECOND TIME. WHEN I SEARCH ONLINE AND GO TO SUZUKI FORUM I SEE LOTS OF OWNER OF SUZUKI HAVING SAME ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING. BELOW IS THE LINK WHERE YOU CAN SEE SO MANY PEOPLE ALREADY HAVING SAME ISSUE HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/SUZUKI/FORENZA/TRANSMISSION-SENSOR-PROBLEMS.PHP THAT I AM HAVING. I NEED YOUR HELP TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH THE COMPANY. IF SUZUKI CAN INSTALL ORIGINAL PARTS THAT WOULD BE FINE. I HAVE ALREADY SPENT LOTS OF MONEY FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF. CAR HAS PROBLEMS STARTING: SOMETIMES IT STARTS IN PARK, SOMETIMES IT WILL ONLY START IN NEUTRAL, OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THE GEARS AND GO BACK TO NEUTRAL. TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR SEEMS TO BE PROBLEM FROM MY ONLINE RESEARCH. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 SUZUKI RENO ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN DESPITE ME TRYING TO GIVE IT GAS, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. I PULLED OVER AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF FOR A MOMENT. I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT BACK INTO DRIVE, MY CAR JOLTED AND AN X APPEARED OVER THE D WHERE THE GEARS ARE LOCATED. FRIGHTENED, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AGAIN AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, WHO TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. THEY EXPLAINED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR AND FIXED IT FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. 3 YEARS 2 MONTHS LATER THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, LUCKILY I WAS NOT DRIVING THIS TIME ONLY TRYING TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE WHEN AN X APPEARED OVER THE D AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT SUZUKI DEALER WHO EXPLAINED THAT BECAUSE IT WAS OUTSIDE THE TRANSMISSION IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. NO EXPLANATION WAS GIVEN AS TO WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING AGAIN. NOW HERE WE ARE EXACTLY 4 MONTHS LATER TO THE DAY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WILL REPAIR IT FOR FREE BECAUSE THEY ONLY REPAIRED IT MONTHS AGO, BUT STILL NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I NOW SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC, THAT PART OF THIS CAR IS DEFECTIVE. I AM LIVID AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW WITH 27 MILES ON IT AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE EVER SINCE!! AGGRAVATION AND MONEY IS ALL THAT CAR HAS BEEN TO ME. *TR

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. *TR

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

I GOT IN MY CAR, TURN IGNITION SWITCH ON AND BOOM MY SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED, THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THIS IS AN ON GOING OCCURRENCE SINCE I HAVE OWNED MY VEHICLE, MY ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME ITS JUST A SENSOR GLITCH AND THEY HAVE FIXED IT, ALONG WITH MY AIRBAG LIGHT WHICH IS STILL ON. A COUPLE DAYS AFTER I LEAVE THE DEALER, IT COMES BACK ON AND I LOSE POWER WHEN I TRY TO EXCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME A COUPLE TIMES WHEN I AM ENTERING THE INTERSTATE AND I AM GETTING SICK OF IT. MY ORIGINAL WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT AND I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO FIX A PROBLEM THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED ALTHOUGH I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THEM WHEN THE WARRANTY IS IN EFFECT. WOULD THIS BE COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY?? I SEE THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM..HOW MANY REPORTS DO YOU NEED TO DETERMINE IF THIS A MANUFACTURING GLITCH. I AM GETTING VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS (I SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LONG TIME AGO). WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS WITHOUT COMING OUT OF MY POCKET. AT THIS POINT I DONT THINK I WOULD EVER BY ANOTHER SUZUKI AND ADVISE MY FRIENDS AGAINST IT. *TR

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. *JB

AT AROUND 50K MILES, VEHICLE STARTED SHIFTING HARD, NOT SHIFTING INTO DRIVE, THEN ACTUALLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING @ ABOUT 20-25 MPH, WITH VEHICLES BEHIND ME. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS RECENTLY APPEARED AND PRODUCED CODES 700 AND 705 FOR RANGE SENSOR. HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THE ISSUE IS WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL, BUT RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. *JS

TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR IS FAULTY. CAR BANGS INTO GEAR FROM PARK AND REVERSE, AS WELL AS ERRATICALLY SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. *JS

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. *KB

AIRBAG LIGHTS COME ON WITHOUT INCIDENT, THEY HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF AT THE SUZUKI DEALER IN THE RIVERGATE AREA OF NASHVILLE IN 2010. SINCE THEN, THEY HAVE COME ON TWICE AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TURN THEM OFF. THEY CAME ON AGAIN DECEMBER OF 2011, HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TURN THEM OFF. CAR HAS NOT HAD ANY DAMAGE, WRECK, WATER OR STORM. I HAVE READ ONLINE SUZUKI IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU CAN BE OF ANY HELP.

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 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. *TR
