Someone else just posted on this same issue. CVTs don't have gears so it means the pulleys aren't changing ratios. I think you need to take it into a Suzuki service dealer. I don't have an automatic Kizashi, but I'm thinking perhaps this issue is electronically-triggered. Have you tried to disconnect the battery and reconnect to see if anything happens? If not, disconnect the negative (-) terminal for about one minute. While disconnected, get in the car and step on the brake pedal a few times. Reconnect and turn on the car. Drive it around and see if the issue persists.
It's likely that it's a more serious matter that requires professional service but try this first to see if anything happens.
