The contact owns a 2005 Suzuki Forenza. When the contact parked the vehicle and removed the key from the ignition it is hot, the vehicle would slip out of park. The vehicle was taken to America's motor sports (930 8th ave S, nashville, tn 37203, (615) 834-8990) for repairs. After the repair, the key became hot whenever it was removed from the ignition. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but was not diagnosed due to the cost. The vehicle was not repaired again. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage and VIN were unknown.

Forenza 4-cyl

Ever since I bought my 2005 Suzuki Forenza wagon, I have had problems with it starting. I would turn the key and the engine would sound like it was going to start, but I would then have to turn the all the way to the off position to restart and then it would finally turn over. I have brought my car in three different times to the dealership where I purchased it and they say nothing is wrong with it. Obviously there is. They try to say it is from the cold or something else and they claim they "have done all they can do and that nothing is wrong with it." It has had this problem in summer, fall, winter, and spring. It even happened in AZ in September when it was 110 degrees. My warranty is up in June and I need to have this corrected before then. I also maintain my car very well, so that isn't the problem either.
