I have maintained my car and had no real issues until last week when I was driving to work, my 5th gear suddenly stopped working. It will shift into 5th gear but then the tachometer reads as if the car is in neutral. I have to drive on major highways to work and to my night classes and I am now unable to drive my car. I'm waiting for the next gear to quit working, if 4th gear stops, then the car will be completely useless.

The car has been taken to our family mechanic, and he said that my model has had numerous complaints about transmission problems. It figures that things go wrong as soon as it's not under warranty. From the number of complaints, I've read, they should recall 2007-2008 Suzuki SX4 AWDs. I thought that they were suppose to be well built, but it looks like you get what you pay for. I really wish I'd purchased the Mazda3 that I was looking at around the same time that I bought my SX4.
