A couple days ago the timing belt broke on my GM-Daewoo 2008 Suzuki Reno. The vehicle only has just under 130,000 thousand and has been vary well maintained. The belt had been replaced before with a gates timing belt at about 100,000 I believe. Therefore meaning the belt broke with just under 30,000 thousand miles on it, which is way before the manufacture oem change interval in the service guide. I understand the engine is a GM family 2 series engine 2.0 D-tec 4cylnder DOHC I think the engine codename in these engines is a U20sed/ L34. As for the belt, it just snapped besides for where it had snapped and broke its in good shape, no rips, tears etc.. just wondering if GM is aware of this issue, I not trying to complain but honestly I feel that something seriously wrong had happened to my car after doing some research I found out about many other people having this same issue forum pages online, youtube videos, and things like that. I had gone through all the recalls and service bulletins and there's absolutely nothing having to do with what had happened(the belt broke on my car as well as many other Reno and forenza vehicles. Maybe the timing system was poorly designed, manufacturing defect " I'm not sure, but I do thnk the tensioner may have failed. I know this is an interference engine it has zero compression and so it likely has some bent valves what's the best way to have this taken care of" also there's only one Suzuki service dealer that's still open in my area, as for the recall it has I am planning to get it replaced, I contacted that dealer a while back and I am planning to get that fixed very soon. The VIN for the vehicle is [xxx] I am in the United States, I live across the water from seattle but in Canada I believe these were sold as the Chevy optra 5 thanks [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Transmission has trouble switching gears, odometer scrambles when switching from park to drive, odometer reads as being in reverse when it's in park, and when it switches gears it switches hard and struggles to accelerate.

Car is having trouble when switching into gear as well as reverse and driving is very slow and restrained. The problem is so often on forums, it is strange this has not been recalled. Expensive to fix and seems to be a manufacturing fault/cheap part. Auto scanner said part is the transmission sensor.

I was driving my 2008 Suzuki Reno on the road on my way to work when the car started to slow down despite me trying to give it gas, and the check engine light appeared. I pulled over and put the car in park and turned it off for a moment. I turned the car back on and the check engine light remained on. When trying to shift back into drive, my car jolted and an X appeared over the D where the gears are located. Frightened, I turned the car off again and called the dealership, who told me to bring it in. They explained it was the transmission range sensor is going to cost me $200 to replace it because the warranty wont cover it. I highly believe it should be cover or do a recall on it.I give thanks to god I wasn't injured or I injure some one else please take me to consideration. Thank you and god bless you.

Driving down the road going 50 mphs the engine light comes on loses all power goes into lump home mode. Took it to the shop and replaced the throttle position sensor. 3 months later light comes back on take it back to the dealership and this time it is the same thing they did a transmission flush and replaced the sensor again. 3 months later the same thing happened again this time its the throttle pedal position sensor. It keeps doing the same thing every couple of months. Expensive fix everytime. I have the extended warranty and it doesn't help.
