2006 Suzuki Verona problems

“WHEN MY CAR IS SWITCHED INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE, IT WILL JERK VERY LOUDLY THEN PROCEED TO NOT SWITCH INTO ANY GEARS HIGHER THAN 3RD. SOMETIMES WHEN I GO INTO REVERSE, IT WILL JERK AND SWING BACK QUICKLY WITH LITTLE ACCELERATION. IT HAS CONTINUED FOR 5 MONTHS - LOOKING ONLINE SO MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS FAULTY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. *TR”

“I WAS GOING TO START DRIVING AND WHEN I SHIFTED INTO REVERSE THE SHIFT SCREEN GOT ALL JUMBLED AND MADE A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE, THEN REVERSED AND WENT INTO DRIVE AND THE CAR WOULD HARDLY DRIVE AT ALL THE RPM'S WERE CLOSE TO 2500 AND CAR HARDLY MOVING AT FIRST, THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION ITSELF AND FOUND OUT THAT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR BY MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. DID NOT HAVE THE ISSUE WITH IT HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING YET BUT I HAVE A KID TO WORRY ABOUT! *TR”

“TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SUZUKI VERONA. WHENEVER THE CONTACT ATTEMPTS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE PAST THE FIRST GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE MAIN COMPUTER MODULE, TRANSMISSION MODULE, AND THE THROTTLE BODY ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURES STILL PERSIST. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 12,900. UPDATED 09/01/09 *BF”

“SO FAR, WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM CAME LOOSE AND FLOPPED AROUND WHILE DRIVING IN SEVERE STORM. TRANSMISSION MAKES A LOUD CLUNK WHEN RE ACCELERATING AT 5 AND 20 MPH. WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM WAS TIGHTENED, NO PROB. SINCE. TRANSMISSION STILL CLUNKS AND HAVE HAD IN TO DEALER 4 TIMES ALREADY. THEY HAVE REPLACED A CONTROL ARM AND A BALL JOINT. THEN HAD TO TAKE BACK TO HAVE STEERING WHEEL REALIGNED DUE TO THEIR NEGLECT. AFTER THAT STEERING WHEEL MADE A CLICKING NOISE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE CLUNK OR TO EVEN RE CREATE IT. IT HAPPENS FOR ME DAILY. NEXT CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AT NIGHT WHILE I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING GARAGE. UNABLE TO STEER CAR. TODAY, BRAKES ACTED LIKE THEY WEREN'T GOING TO STOP THE CAR, SOUNDED AND FELT LIKE A SPRING THAT IS BEING DEPRESSED AND NOT ABLE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LOAD. MY MAIN COMPLAINT,CONCERN IS THAT CAR WILL SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STEER AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, THAT THE CLUNKING IN TRANSMISSION AND IS A DESIGN DEFECT. *TR”
