2007 Suzuki Forenza Problems

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY THE LIGHT FOR THE ENGINE CAME ON AND THE CAR DIED. AFTER BEING TOWED IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE HEAD WAS BLOWN. AFTER REPLACING THE ENGINE THE LIGHT REMAINS ON AND NOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A DEFECT IN A SENSOR FOR THE TRANSMISSION THAT KEEPS THESE PROBLEMS HAPPENING IN THIS VEHICLE.

POWER STEERING REPLACED, MANY TIRES REPLACED CONSTANTLY, TRANSMISSION REPLACED, TIMING BELT REPLACED, SEAT BELTS REPLACED, AIR BAGS ARE IN RECALL AND NEED TO BE REPLACED, HANDLES REPLACED, BAD PAINT CLIPPINGS ON OUTER HANDLES, CO2 SENSOR REPLACED, HEADLIGHT SWITCH RECALLED AND REPLACED, RANGE MOD SENSOR REPLACED TWICE, HEAD GASKET BROKEN.

VEHICLE HAS ODOR OF SMOKE OR UNKNOWN SMELL ADVISED SUZUKI WHO REFERRED ME TO SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT HANDLE REPAIRS. I ADVISED THEM I WORK FOR AN AUTO BODY WHO STATES VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE- PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT IS ALSO ON. RECALL NOTICE ADVISES OF SIGNIFICANT RISK OF FIRE. STEERING COLUMN LOOKS TO BE WARPED AND IGNITION SWITCH IS NOT WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE DRIVER NOTICED SMOKE INSIDE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER AND THE DRIVER CALLED FOR ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT ARRIVED AT THE SCENE, OPENED THE HOOD, TURNED OFF THE RELAY SWITCH, AND ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO COOL DOWN. THERE WAS NO FIRE REPORT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (DWAYNE LANE SUZUKI, 10415 EVERGREEN WAY, EVERETT, WA, 425-267-9000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RELAY SWITCH (WHICH CONTROLLED THE FAN FOR THE HEATER AND THE AIR CONDITIONER) CAUGHT FIRE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000. ..*BF

ONE OF THE TRANSMISSION SENSORS WENT OUT INITIALLY ABOUT 28000 MILES ON MY 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL FROM DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 60. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY A SEMI-TRUCK BECAUSE THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN WITH NO NOTICE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AT JUST UNDER 60000 MILES WHERE I AM HAVING THE ISSUES WITH THE SENSOR AND NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS IT HESITATES TO GO INTO DRIVE EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARS TO BE IN DRIVE ACCORDING TO THE DASH. *TT

Air Bag light came on in the Dash, also passenger seat belt not on light came on in the clock. I took the car to Planet Automotive Group here in Charlotte, they ran a Diagnostic on the vehicle and found a b1448 code for passenger seat mat defect. I called the manufacture at [XXX] talked to a person named [XXX], I was told this is no longer under warranty and they could not help. I disagreed with her, told her this was a very serious safety issue and they should help with the cost of replaced/repair. Was told sorry. Need you help am 85 year old and don't have funds for new seat which cost $3750.00 INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT IS ON EVEN WITH PASSENGER IN SEAT. I AM SURPRISE THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY AND EVEN FATALITIES. SUZUKI ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE GRAND VITARAS. THIS IS DOWN RIGHT PATHETIC AND IS A SLAP IN THE FACE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. I WILL DEFINITELY BE FILING A LAWSUIT ABOUT THIS MATTER IF NOTHING DONE ABOUT THIS MATTER.

CAR FEELS LIKE IT SLIPS OUT OF GEAR , SOMETIMES ON FREEWAY FEELS ALMOST LIKE TRANSMISSION. IT IS THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED SEVERAL TIMES. AS YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND WAIT A WHILE BEFORE STARTING THE CAR BACK UP THIS IS ALWAYS IN MOTION NORTH CHARLESTON SC , GREENVILLE SC AND COLUMBIA SC THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN TOWED, I CAN SEND TOWING INFORMATION THROUGH STATE FARM, WHO DROPPED MY ROADSIDE BECAUSE OF THIS AND ONE TIME THROUGH TRAVELERS INSURANCE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE TRUCK FARM IN EASLEY SC TWICE THEY CAN NOT FIND A CODE ON IT RICK HENDRICKS NORTH CHARLESTON 3 TIMES EXPRESS AUTO IN COLUMBIA SEPT 17TH 2015 AND TRANSMISSIONS ON DORCHESTER RD NORTH CHARLESTON AND A+ ALSO NORTH CHARLESTON.

I BOUGHT 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA WITH ONLY 50 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT AND NOW IT POSES A SAFETY RISK SINCE THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT SUDDENLY STOPS WHILE I AM DRIVING. I LOSE CONTROL AND NEED TO MOVE IT ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE COME SEVERAL TIMES CLOSE TO BEING HIT. ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ARE SHOWING EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT NOT BE THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR LOCKS MADE A CLICKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING AS IF THE LOCKS WERE GOING UP AND DOWN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE LOCKS WERE IN THE DOWN POSITION, THEY WOULD INDEPENDENTLY POP BACK UP BEFORE THE CONTACT COULD OPEN THE DOOR WITH THE KEY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO TURN ON WHEN PROMPTED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. A DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAD RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL ON A FIRE HAZARD WITH THE LIGHTENING AFTER I KEPT SMELLING PLASTIC BURNING EVERY TIME IT RAINED...I THEN NOTICED IT WAS BECAUSE I HAD THE LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME. I HAVE CALLED SUZUKI TO NO AVAIL TO HAVE A LOCAL PROCURED TO DO RECALL REPAIR DUE TO THE CLOSET APPROVED VENDOR BEING 2 HOURS AWAY IN TRAFFIC AND THE LENGTH OF REPAIR TAKING MOST OF THEIR DAY PLUS RETURN TRIP. WE WOULD HAVE TO SPEND NIGHT IN A HOTEL. MY MECHANIC EVEN CALLED THEM AND SAID THEY WOULD DO THE REPAIRS IN CHANTILLY, VA. AND SUZUKI REFUSED SAYING IT WOULD ONLY TAKE ME 20 MINUTES TO DRIVE TO WHEATON MD???????? I AM IN BRISTOW, VA. I ASKED THAT THEY HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AND FIXED AND BROUGHT BACK TO ME THEN AND THEY REFUSE EVERY SUGGESTION. THIS IS BY FAR A HUGE INCONVENIENCE AND WEAR AND TEAR ON MY VEHICLE. IT IS THEIR FIRE HAZARD, THEY SHOULD MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO PROVIDE FOR A LOCAL REPAIR TO THE FIRE HAZARD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SECURE THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT, THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO LATCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 178,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY STREET IN MY 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA WITH 71,510 MILES, THEN ON THE PANEL IT STARTED FLASHING (P,N,D WITH A DIAGONAL LINE THROUGH THEM) AND I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION... *TR

I HAD DEFECTIVE PLASTIC DOOR KNOBS THAT BROKE AND REPLACED WITH THE SAME TYPE DOOR KNOB BY THE DEALER AND CHARGED ME LABOR. REPLACED STRUT MOUNTS WITHIN THE LAST 9 MONTHS I HAVE REPLACED: TRANSMISSION, WATER PUMP, THE VALVE COVER GASKET 4 TIMES, THE VALVE COVER, THE RADIATOR, THE TIMING BELT, THE AC COMPRESSOR, FRONT AXLES, WHEEL BEARINGS, LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD HOSE, AND IT IS STILL LEAKING ANTIFREEZE. THE CAR SEEM TO BE VERY HOT AND THE KEY IS VERY VERY HOT IN THE IGNITION. I ALSO NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL ASSEMBLY........ I DEFINITELY WOULD LIKE TO BE INCLUDED IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR I WILL DO MY OWN. THIS IS NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMER TO PAY ALL THIS MONEY INTO KEEPING THIS CAR REPAIRED. I'VE INVESTED MORE INTO THIS CAR THAN WHAT IT IS WORTH. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

I BROUGHT A BRAND NEW 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA IN 2007 AND SINCE THEN HAVE HAD PROBLEMS EVER SINCE. IN THE FIRST WEEK I BROUGHT IT THE TIMING BELT HAD BROKE. SOON AFTER THE TRANSMISSION MESSED UP AND WAS TOLD THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THANKS TO MY EXTENDED VEHICLE WARRANTY (NOT BY SUZUKI) I WAS ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED WITHOUT PAYING OUT OF POCKET. NOW NOT EVEN TWO YEARS LATER I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE FRONT STRUT MOUNT AND STRUTS ARE GOING BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED (ESTIMATED AT $687.00). IN ADDITION TO THAT ALL FOUR OF MY DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN AND HAVE BEEN FOR SOME TIME AFTER BREAKING OFF WITH A SIMPLE TOUCH. WITH THE PAINT CHIPPING OFF ON THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES AS WELL. I HAVE NO MONEY TO PAY FOR ALL THE REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE AS I HAVE BEEN PAYING IT ON FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS AND IT IS ALMOST PAID FOR BUT I CANNOT CONTINUE TO ENDURE COUNTLESS REPAIRS I AM HAVING TO GO THROUGH WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. I DO NOT GO ANYWAY EXCEPT FROM WORK TO HOME IN MY CAR AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I AM HAVING ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS WHEN THE CAR WAS SUPPOSE TO BE BRAND NEW WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR EVEN AS SIMPLE AS GOING TO THE STORE BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SUZUKI AGAIN. *TR

VEHICLE HAS ODOR OF SMOKE OR UNKNOWN SMELL ADVISED SUZUKI WHO REFERRED ME TO SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT HANDLE REPAIRS. I ADVISED THEM I WORK FOR AN AUTO BODY WHO STATES VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE- PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT IS ALSO ON. RECALL NOTICE ADVISES OF SIGNIFICANT RISK OF FIRE. STEERING COLUMN LOOKS TO BE WARPED AND IGNITION SWITCH IS NOT WORKING.

POWER STEERING REPLACED, MANY TIRES REPLACED CONSTANTLY, TRANSMISSION REPLACED, TIMING BELT REPLACED, SEAT BELTS REPLACED, AIR BAGS ARE IN RECALL AND NEED TO BE REPLACED, HANDLES REPLACED, BAD PAINT CLIPPINGS ON OUTER HANDLES, CO2 SENSOR REPLACED, HEADLIGHT SWITCH RECALLED AND REPLACED, RANGE MOD SENSOR REPLACED TWICE, HEAD GASKET BROKEN.

MY FRONT LEFT TIRE KEEPS GOING FLAT FOR WHATEVER REASON. I HAVE PURCHASED TWO NEW TIRES WITHIN THE LAST SIX MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME I GOT MY FLAT THE WHOLE TIRE WENT BEHIND THE RIM AND DAMAGED MY RIM. I WENT TO GO GET A NEW TIRE THE NEXT DAY. THE SECOND TIME I GOT A FLAT HAPPENED JUST A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE FIRST TIME AND IT WAS ON THE EXACT SAME TIME; THE FRONT LEFT. I WENT TO GET A NEW TIRE AND RIM THIS TIME SINCE THEY HAD A RIM TO FIT. WELL TODAY; AUGUST 16, 2014, MY TIRE SEEMED SLACK, SO I WENT TO PUT AIR INTO THE TIRE. I HAVE YET TO FIND OUT IF IT WAS A FLAT OR NOT. BUT WHEN I GOT 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR STILL SHAKES AS IF IT IS STILL FLAT OR SLACK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DEAL IS BUT IT IS ALWAYS SOMETHING WITH THAT TIRE AND IT MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS TO DRIVE AND GO OUT IN TOWN. *TR

ON MAY 2, 2011 I PURCHASED 3 RIKEN RAPTOR 85V 195/155VR5 TIRES FROM ASPEN TIRE & AUTO, INC. IN WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA FOR MY 2007 SUZUKI FORENZA. ON MAY 13, 2012 (1 YEAR LATER) WHILE DRIVING ON A PAVED ROAD AFTER A TURN LEFT ONTO A TWO LANE ROAD WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 40 MPH WE SUDDENLY HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A VERY LOUD BANG, FOLLOWING BY A SIGNIFICANT DROP ON THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR AND MANY MORE LOUD BANGING, AND THUDDING SOUNDS. WE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS DROPPED DOWN ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. WE HAD TO DRIVE APPROX. 100FT OR SOTO PULL OVER AS THERE IS NO ROOM ON THIS SMALL PAVED ROAD TO PULL OVER WITHOUT IMPEDING TRAFFIC. WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE CAR WE COULD SEE THE SIDE FRONT FENDER HAD COMPLETELY PULLED OUT FROM THE CAR, THE TIRE IN SHREDS AND THE RIM LOOKED AS IF IT WAS SMASHED. THE TIRE SIDE WALL WAS BLOWN OUT WITH THE TREAD/BELT WAS COMPLETELY INTACT HOWEVER CLEANLY SHEARED OFF RIGHT ALONG THE SEAM. WE ARE SURE THAT THE PRESSURE ON ALL THE TIRES WAS INLINE AS MY HUSBAND HAD CHECKED AND CORRECTED ONLY THE WEEK BEFORE FOLLOWING DEALER MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED FOR BOTH THE CAR AND TIRE. WE CHECK OUR TIRE PRESSURE REGULARLY AND IN FACT WE USE THE AVERAGE OF THE LOWER PRESSURE RECOMMENDED FOR THE CAR AND THE HIGH PRESSURE OR MAX RECOMMENDED MY MICHELIN. THE TREADS WERE NOT WORN AND THERE WAS NO PRIOR DAMAGE OR WEAR. AFTER SPENDING MUCH OF MY TIME AND MONEY TO SEND THE TIRE TO THEIR INSPECTORS - MICHELIN DENIED PAYING FOR THE DAMAGES WHICH HAVE COST $373.28 OUT OF POCKET, STATING THAT THEY DETERMINED THAT THE TIRE WAS RUN-FLAT. THE PICTURES THEY SENT TO ME TO COMPARE DAMAGES OF A RUN-FLAT TIRE LOOK NOTHING LIKE MY TIRE DAMAGE AND WE ARE DILIGENT ABOUT CHECKING THE TIRE PRESSURE. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THEIR ACROSS THE BOARD DETERMINATION MATCHES WHAT HAPPENED TO MY TIRE AND FEEL THAT THIS PARTICULAR TIRE MAY HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE. *TR

I HAD DEFECTIVE PLASTIC DOOR KNOBS THAT BROKE AND REPLACED WITH THE SAME TYPE DOOR KNOB BY THE DEALER AND CHARGED ME LABOR. REPLACED STRUT MOUNTS WITHIN THE LAST 9 MONTHS I HAVE REPLACED: TRANSMISSION, WATER PUMP, THE VALVE COVER GASKET 4 TIMES, THE VALVE COVER, THE RADIATOR, THE TIMING BELT, THE AC COMPRESSOR, FRONT AXLES, WHEEL BEARINGS, LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD HOSE, AND IT IS STILL LEAKING ANTIFREEZE. THE CAR SEEM TO BE VERY HOT AND THE KEY IS VERY VERY HOT IN THE IGNITION. I ALSO NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL ASSEMBLY........ I DEFINITELY WOULD LIKE TO BE INCLUDED IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR I WILL DO MY OWN. THIS IS NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMER TO PAY ALL THIS MONEY INTO KEEPING THIS CAR REPAIRED. I'VE INVESTED MORE INTO THIS CAR THAN WHAT IT IS WORTH. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR IS HORRIBLE THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME TIME TO CHANGE THIS. FIRST TIME WAS AT 45000. *TR

THE CAR LOST POWER SUDDENLY AFTER STOPPING FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ENGINE NEVER STOPPED RUNNING BUT WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN ABOUT 20MPH. TRANSMISSION UPSHIFTED AND DOWN SHIFTED. ORB ERROR CODES WHERE P2110, P2106, AND P161B. NO OTHER CODES WHERE STORED. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN 6 MONTHS. AFTER RESTARTING ENGINE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON AND THE CAR RAN NORMALLY.

DRIVING ALONG WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE JUST CUT OFF, I STILL HAD ELECTRICAL POWER, ALL SYSTEMS WERE STILL WORKING. I GOT TO SIDE OF ROAD TURNED EVERYTHING OFF. I THEN TRIED STARTING THE ENGINE, AFTER ABOUT THREE OR FOUR TIMES THE ENGINE WOULD START. I THEN DROVE THE CAR TRYING TO GET HOME, WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE WOULD STALL AGAIN. THIS COULD CAUSE A VERY BAD ACCIDENT IF ON AN INTERSTATE AT HIGH SPEED.

BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL! TRANSMISSION WILL RANDOMLY NOT GO ANYWHERE (SOMETIMES IT WORKS SOMETIMES IT DOSENT) I HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY INTO A PERSONS YARD SO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TRYING TO SHIFT INTO GEAR THE CAR JERKS AND THE DISPLAY BLINKS, NOT INDICATING WHAT GEAR THE CAR IS IN. THE ONLY GEARS THAT SHOW ARE D AND P. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR MOVES VERY SLOWLY AND DOESN'T GO ANY FASTER THAN 35-40 MPH. DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOW IT IS THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR. I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL VEHICLE AND THINKS IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED AT THE EXPENSE OF THE DEALER NOT THE CONSUMER. THIS CAR HAS ONLY HAD PROBLEMS FROM THE BEGINNING AND THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO REALIZE THIS AND ASSUME SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT IN CAR. CHECKED FUSE AND NO BAD FUSE. WENT TO DRIVE THE CAR AND THEN NOTICED HAD NO BREAK LIGHTS, HEAD LIGHTS, AND WINDOWS DID NOT ROLL DOWN. I HAD HIGH BEAMS IF I WANTED TO DRIVE IT WHILE HOLDING THE LIGHT SWITCH FOR THE HIGH BEAMS.HAD ALL FUSES CHECKED, AND WAS THEN TOLD IT WAS IN THE WIRING!!! CAR HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP BEFORE FOR TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSORS. IT SEEMS TO BE ONE ISSUE AFTER ANOTHER WITH THIS CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN. TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COME ON FOR A FEW DAYS THEN GOES OUT FOR A FEW, AND THAT IS WITH NEW TIRES. NOT VERY HAPPY WITH THIS CAR AT ALL.. *JS

THE POWER WINDOWS ACTUATORS CONTINUE TO "ACTUATE" ON THEIR OWN, SOUNDING AS THOUGH THE CAR IS LOCKING OR UNLOCKING SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED. THE LOCK ITSELF DOESN'T MOVE DURING THIS COMMOTION. ANOTHER ISSUE WAS WHEN I HAD PRESSED THE BRAKE, MY CAR MADE A THUNK AND REVVED AS THOUGH IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. WHEN I TRIED TO GO AGAIN, THE CAR TOOK A FEW MINUTES TO EVEN GO ABOVE SECOND GEAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. NOW, MY CAR WILL SOUND AS THOUGH IT ISN'T IN GEAR AT SPEEDS OF 55-60 MPH! THIS SCARES ME! THEN THE DASH GEAR INDICATOR FLASHES AND CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT GEAR ITS IN WHEN I'M DRIVING, WHETHER IT'S BACK ROADS OR FREEWAYS. VERY FRIGHTENING. *TR

FIRST WAS THE SEATS BELT THIS WAS FIX , AFTER THAT WAS THE TRANS RANGE SWITCH I HAVE TO PAY BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO PAY FOR THAT AND NOW IS THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND I CALL THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY SEND ME TO THE SHOP BUT THE SHOP REFUSE TO CHECK THE CAR BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRE BUT THIS CAR IS FROM 2007. *TR
