| I bought my 2006 suzuki reno in 2008 with approx. 41000 miles on it. my car is currently approx. 90000 miles but the issue started happening around the 83000 mile mark. i was on the highway when all of a sudden, it felt like my car shifted into neutral while driving and went from 70mph to 30mph almost immediately. after that first instance, the car continually bangs into gear from park to reverse. it drives fine for a few minutes but then it continues to erratically shift into neutral while driving. researched online about problem and seems numerous others have the exact same issue with renos as well as forenzas. transmission range sensor faulty. please recall, it is extremely dangerous. *tr | |||

| For several weeks my car has been cluncking into reverse and drive and getting stuck in 3rd gear while driving. i went to suzuki and bought the transmission range sensor which is what is faulty. the suzuki dealer was really surprized that we had 71000 miles on the car and had not had a problem yet (they know its a problem) i have not had a chance to change the sensor yet but my wife was driving the car today and when put into reverse the car went forward instead. luckily there was only a curb that she hit but she could have hit a car or a person. she had to stop somewhere on the way home and had another problem in another parking lot where she shifted into reverse and instead of going forward the car shot out of the stall without her even touching the gas pedal. again she did not hit anyone but how long will suzuki let this happen before someone is killed. also when the car gets stuck in 3rd gear it is very dangerous to pull out onto a road as you can barely accelerate fast enough to avoid oncoming traffic. the sensor will be replaced tonight when i get home but these cars should not be having these problems and according to the mechanics at suzuki they see this problem all the time. i understand that parts break and cars have to be repaired, but this is something that is so poorly engineered that it is putting the occupants in the car as well as other people in danger. some people have had to replace their trs over 7 times and suzuki has yet to issue a recall. | |||
