POWER TRAIN
WHEN TURNING MY CAR ON AND PUTTING IT INTO REVERSE, THE CAR SUDDENLY JERKED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE "R" SHOULD APPEAR FOR REVERSE ON THE DASH, BUT ALL THE LETTERS ("P", "R", "D", ETC) WERE SCRAMBLED TOGETHER. THE CAR DROVE IN REVERSE AND WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE, IT JERKED AGAIN AND THEN WOULD HARDLY ACCELERATE. AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A COUPLE MINUTES, TURNING IT OFF, AND TURNING IT BACK ON, IT WOULD FINALLY ACCELERATE NORMALLY, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD STILL BE ON AND THE GEARS WOULD STILL JERK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AFTER A FEW DAYS AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE, BUT STILL THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN IN A SHORT TERM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
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
