| 2006 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | WAS DRIVING ON I40 TO WILMINGTON, NC FROM RALEIGH, NC. I STOPPED TO GET GAS WHEN I WAS ABOUT 30 MINUTES AWAY FROM WILMINGTON. I NOTICED MY DASHBOARD LOOKED LIKE IT WAS JUMPY. ALL THE GAUGE LINES WERE GOING BACK AND FORTH. BUT IT LASTED ONLY SECONDS AND REALLY I THOUGHT...DID THAT REALLY HAPPEN. I GOT BACK ON THE ROAD BECAUSE THE CAR WAS DRIVING PERFECTLY FINE. ONCE I GOT INTO WILMINGTON, THE CAR STARTED SMOKING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, THE GAUGES WERE GOING CRAZY. THE GAUGES WERE JUST GOING BACK AND FORTH AND BACK AND FORTH LIKE THEY WERE POSSESSED! THE CAR STALLED, I GOT IT OFF THE ROAD AS BEST AS POSSIBLE, RAISED THE HOOD AND SMALL FLAMES WERE COMING OUT. I TOOK A TOWEL AND THROUGH IT OVER THE MOTOR AND IT KILLED THE FLAMES. CHECK OIL, IT WAS FINE, HAD PLENTY OF GAS. MY DAD SAID IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAD AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND THEN THE FAN WENT OUT AND CAUSED THE CAR TO OVER HEAT AND IT BLEW A HEAD GASKET. NOT SURE WHY IT WOULD HAVE HAD AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE CAR IS PARKED NOW BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO FIX IT. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS KIND OF PROBLEM? *TR |
| 2008 | STEERING | I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 SUZUKI RENO ON THE ROAD 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 IS GOING TO COST ME $200 TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WONT COVER IT. I HIGHLY BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE COVER OR DO A RECALL ON IT.I GIVE THANKS TO GOD I WASN'T INJURED OR I INJURE SOME ONE ELSE PLEASE TAKE ME TO CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU. *TR |
