My daughters car has experienced the same problem as yours without the loud banging sound that initiated yours. It's a '10 Kazashi with AWD. I'm going to try what old tech recommended. Haven't done anything yet, since I don't have the resources at this point to change the tranny. However, like yours...

My daughter received one of these recalls - she has the 2010 with the CVT problem. My question is - were the 2010's included in the 1st recall or were they left out. If not included in the first, then I suspect that Susuki backed up the recall to include 2010's. I'm not concerned at this point about...

And the even far greater problem is, that even if they were inclined to do something, once word got out, the flood gates would be open for anyone else with a CVT problem. The precedent would have been set and they'd be hard pressed to back pedal on that one. I could file a claim with the local distr...

Ron: Thanks for your input, and no the car is not in an enclosed area! Even though I have lots of room in front of me, I agree that it may just decide to up & go. What really irritates me is my daughter looked and looked before she bought the Kizashi. She bought it new in '10, had it always serv...

Quick question on CVT with regard to troubleshooting. When my daughters Kizashi is running and in Drive and with my foot on the gas, I can shift from Drive to Neutral to Reverse and back again without taking my foot off gas; there is no unusual noise or even difficulty in shifting. However, last nit...

I previously posted about my daughters '10 Kizashi that left her stranded, frightened, and in harms way, when the transmission just shutdown on a busy highway. I've since read everything than I can about these CVT problems, and it seems that it is inherent in the early Kizashi's yet there is no reca...

Thanks for the responses First the reason I called Suzuki was because of the 2013 recall on CVT Controp Module. Her car had exhibited same symptoms & I erroneously thought they might help or at least listen. Wrong on both counts. She bought the car new and FAITHFULLY had it serviced where it was...

My daughters car stopped moving on a busy highway on Sept. 10. My mechanic said transmission - but I hesitated to do anything because I didn't think it needed replaced. I did a little research (how I found this site) and suspected the control module since her 2010 exhibited the same type of failure ...
