I could really use some assistance. i have a 2007 forenza and yesterday as i was putting the car into reverse, it made a loud clunking noise. the gear selector display on the dash seemed to go haywire displaying all the letters (d, r, n, etc) with a diagonal line through it. it then went back to normal, then the "check engine" light came on. they hooked up the diagnostic computer and it came up with codes po700 and po705, which varies in wording but seems like it's the transmission range sensor.i have read that many other people have had the same problem. this is a problem that suzuki should take care of a sensor cost to those who bought their cars. *tr
