2004 Suzuki Verona complaints

ABS LIGHT CAME ON. BRAKES FAILED SEVERAL TIMES. HAD TO PUMP BRAKES QUICKLY TO BE ABLE TO STOP COMPLETELY WITHOUT USING EMERGENCY BRAKE. MALFUNCTION OCCURRED WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF ABS LIGHT TURNING ON. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. PAID FOR REPAIRS. CAR CONTINUED TO MALFUNCTION: AFTER DRIVING ONLY 95 MILES, ABS LIGHT STILL ON AND BRAKES WENT OUT AGAIN.

ENGINE KNOCKS, STALLS & DIES, ROUGH IDLING, HESITATES, JERKING, ENGINE SURGES WHEN STOPPED..DIES WHILE SLOWING DOWN..CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME. DEALER RESET COMPUTER, REPLACED THROTTLE BODY ASSY, PERFORMED TSB & RECALIBRATED PCM, REPLACED BOTH OXYGEN SENSORS. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION THE ENGINE STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED PRIOR THE INCIDENT. A RECALL LETTER WAS RECEIVED IN REFERENCE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH HOWEVER THE RECALL WAS NOT LISTED IN THE OFFICE OF DEFECT INVESTIGATION DATABASE. THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED SEVERAL REPAIRS BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. THERE WAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENING DIFFICULTIES TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THERE WAS ALSO A LOUD NOISE IN THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWENTY TIMES. AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO PURSUE THE LEMON LAW BUT ADVICE WAS PROVIDED TO GIVE THE DEALERSHIP ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO SOLVE THE ENGINE DEFECT. THE ENGINE WAS EVEN REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED. EVENTUALLY, THE LEMON LAW WAS NO LONGER APPLICABLE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD MORE THAN 18,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY DETERMINED THE ENGINE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO DEFECTIVE INJECTORS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO LEFT THE RESOLUTION UP TO THE DEALERSHIP.

THE IDLE WILL NOT STAY AT ONE SPEED / GOES FROM 750 DOWN TO 300 BACK UP TO 1200 . THE DEALERS ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THE 2 DEALERS IN MY AREA HAVE NOW CLOSED UP AND I HAVE TO GO FARTHER NOW TO GET IT SERVICED. *JB

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA. WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF PURCHASE THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP UP TO AT LEAST 20 TIMES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF EVERY OTHER DAY OR SO. THAT REALLY DID NOT BOTHER ME SO MUCH. LAST WINTER THE CAR DECIDED TO NOT ACCEPT FUEL. THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS. FOR THE LAST 4 OR MORE MONTHS THIS CAR STALLS, IT SURGES, IT ACCELERATES ABOVE 3000 RPM AT STOP LIGHTS, IT ALMOST OR DOES DIE AT INTERSECTIONS, IT JUST DECIDES TO NOT GO 60 AND SLOWS YOU DOWN TO 40 LIKE THE BRAKES HAVE COME ON. I CARRY AROUND MY 4 YEAR OLD EVERYDAY IN THIS CAR I WORK 60 MILES FROM MY HOME. EVERYDAY I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THIS CAR WILL DO AND IT SCARES ME THAT MY SON AND I WILL BE IN AN ACCIDENT OR HOW WILL IT BE LIKE ON ICE AND SNOW THIS WINTER. THIS CAR TAKES A BIG CHUNK OF MY PAYCHECK AND I FEEL IT WOULD BE BETTER IF I DIDN'T DRIVE THIS CAR. SUZUKI THIS CAR IS A JOKE NEVER AGAIN WOULD I EVER BUY ANOTHER SUZUKI ANYTHING. I BELIEVE THIS CALLS FOR SOME ACTION ON ALL THESE PEOPLE IN THIS SITUATION. MAKE IT RIGHT SUZUKI. *JB

2004 SUZUKI VERONA STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. *KB DAYS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IT STALLED ON THE FREEWAY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT YET THE DEALER STILL HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED MANY COMPONENTS (O2 SENSOR, THROTTLE BODY ENGINE COIL) BUT NONE HAVE RECTIFIED THE PROBLEM. *NM

THE RPMS WILL VARY FROM 300 TO 600 OR MORE AT IDLE. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ACTIVATING THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL AT ANY SPEED THE SWITCH FAILED TO DISENGAGE AFTER THE TURN IS COMPLETED. UPON INSPECTION THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED. IT WAS DETERMINED THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH WAS NOT GOING TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED 07/05/06 *JB

2004 VERONA'S RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEWOUT. *TS THE VEHICLE SPUN OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STRUCK THE GUARDRAIL. THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED DAMAGE. THE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED FROM THE DRIVER'S HEAD IMPACTING IT BUT HE CLAIMED HE WAS NOT HURT. *NM

COMPLAINT NO. 1 THE FUEL LINE OF MY 2004 SUZUKI VERONA BECAME DISCONNECTED, CAUSING ME TO LOSE POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND CAUSING FUEL TO SPILL ON THE ROADWAY. THE PROBLEM WAS ALLEGEDLY FIXED BY FRANKLIN SQUARE SUZUKI. HOWEVER, A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE FUEL LINE AGAIN BECAME DISCONNECTED CAUSING ME TO LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSING FUEL TO BE SPILLED ON THE ROADWAY. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED BY MALMSTROM SUZUKI. COMPLAINT NO. 2. THE BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH HAS BECOME INOPERABLE SIX OR SEVEN TIMES. WHEN THE SWITCH BECOMES INOPERABLE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT ACTIVATED WHEN I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION LEVER CANNOT BE RELEASED FROM PARK UNLESS I USE THE KEYHOLE OVERRIDE. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPAIRED EACH TIME (OCCASIONALLY AFTER A FEW VISITS), BUT NEVERTHELESS, HAS OCCURRED WAY TOO MANY TIMES, EVEN AFTER SUZUKI SUPPOSEDLY CAME UP WITH A FIX FRO THE PROBLEM BY REDESIGNING THE BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH. THE MOST RECENT DATE IS INDICATED BELOW.*JB

I HAVE A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA LX THAT FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT THE CRUISE CONTROL WANDERS OR SURGES. IT IS GETTING WORSE WITH AGE. IT WILL VERY AS MUCH AS 10 MPH BACK AND FORTH, BACK AND FORTH UNTIL YOU TURN IT OFF. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS AT BEING REAR ENDED WHEN IT SLOWS DOWN SUDDENLY. I HAVE HAD IT TO 4 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND THEY ALL TELL ME THE SAME THING. THIS IS THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK. THEY TELL ME IT WAS FIXED IN THE 2005 & 2006 MODELS. THEN WHY CAN'T THEY RETROFIT THE 2004'S. THIS IS A TERRIBLE SAFETY HAZARD THAT IS GETTING WORSE AS THE VEHICLE GETS OLDER. IT HAS 20000 MILES ON IT NOW, WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN IT HAS 50000? QUIT RUNNING TOTALLY!!! *JB

VEHICLE HAS RAN POORLY SINCE ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. CONSTANT VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL AND UNDER VEHICLE. HAVE HAD STALLING ISSUES AND ACCELERATION ISSUES. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CAN NEVER DUPLICATE PROBLEM. THEY ARE NOW BLAMING THE PROBLEM ON "FAULTY TIRES". HAVE HAD TIRES REPLACED AND NO IMPROVEMENT TO DRIVABILITY OF CAR. HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT 2 TIMES IN TRAFFIC DUE TO ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. DEALER REFUSING TO WORK ON VEHICLE NOW EVEN THOUGH UNDER WARRANTY. ALSO PROBLEM WITH RADIO CONTROLS ON STEERING WHEEL. ALTHOUGH THE PART WAS REPLACED, 2 WEEKS LATER I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB

NOV. 14, 2005 6:45 AM - THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS YEAR THAT THIS 2004 SUZUKI VERONA HAS HAD AN ENGINE STALLED PROBLEM. THE FIRST WAS JAN. 07, 2005 AND THE 2ND TIME WAS JAN. 24, 2005. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE FERMAN CHRYSLER/JEEP/SUZUKI DEALERSHIP TODAY (AGAIN) AND LEFT IT WITH SERVICE MANAGER, BRIAN CUMMINGS. BRIAN SAID HE WILL CHECK THE CAR OUT, THEN GET IN TOUCH WITH SUZUKI TO SEE WHAT THEY WILL DO. I ADVISED BRIAN THAT THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN LESS THAN 24 MONTHS AS REQUIRED BY THE "LEMON LAW" FOR THIS VEHICLE TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE REPLACED. BRIAN SAID HE WILL HAVE SOMEONE CALL ME BACK TODAY BETWEEN 2-3PM WITH THE STATUS. I CALLED SUZUKI CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-934-0934 AND SPOKE W/ ORLANDO AT EXT. 2471. I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO ORLANDO AND ADVISED HIM THAT THIS IS THE 3RD ENGINE STALLED FAILURE WITH MY CAR. HE SAID THIS IS THE FIRST NOTICE THEY HAVE HAD OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS WAS MUCH TO MY SURPRISE AS I WAS ADVISED ON THE 1ST AND 2ND FAILURE THAT THE FERMAN DEALERSHIP WAS IN CONTACT WITH SUZUKI. ORLANDO SAID THEY MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN IN TOUCH WITH THE FLORIDA DISTRICT MANAGER, PATRICIA ROBINSON WHO APPARENTLY DID NOT NOTIFY SUZUKI EITHER AS THERE IS NO RECORD OF THIS MATTER FROM HER. (ORLANDO ADVISED ME THAT HE COULD NOT GIVE OUT THE DIST. MGR'S PH# AND ADDR. BECAUSE THIS IS HER PERSONAL RESIDENCE). I ADVISED ORLANDO THAT I DO NOT WANT THIS CAR BACK AS I AM AFRAID OF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRING AND THAT I WOULD LIKE TO EVOKE THE "LEMON LAW." O

I PURCHASED A NEW 2004 SUZUKI VERONA APRIL 2004. SINCE THEN, THE VEHICLE STARTS SURGING AND LURCHING UNEXPECTEDLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND THEY STATE THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. THE LAST TIME, APPROX 2 WEEKS AGO, THEY DOWNLOADED A "PATCH" TO REPROGRAM A COMPUTER CHIP WHICH DID NO GOOD AT ALL. I'VE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND BROUGHT IT AT LEAST 4 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. MY WIFE REFUSES TO EVEN DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON THE 2004 SUZUKI VERONA. OIL WAS GETTING IN THE GAS LINE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER THE PAST YEAR REPEATEDLY FOR THE ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTING. THE CONTACT SAID THAT IT SEEMED TO BE CONNECTED TO THE ENGINE LIGHT. AS OF YESTERDAY, THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT WORKING. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CALLED ,AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOTIFY THE DEALER AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT CALL THE CONTACT. THE DEALER SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE 02 SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE, AND WAS CURRENTLY WAITING ON ANOTHER 02 SENSOR TO BE INSTALLED. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THAT THE PART HAS NOT BEEN MANUFACTURED.*AK

THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE ECM UNIT BUT THE CAR STILL DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. READINGS ON THE ENGINE ARE NOT TO MANUFACTURES STANDARDS BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER REPLACEMENT OF ECM. THE DEALERSHIP IS STILL WORKING ON THE CAR PER THE DATE OF THIS COMPLAINT. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP FIVE TIMES OVER THE LAST TWO TO THREE MONTHS, EACH TIME FOR A WEEK OR MORE. THE TECHNICIAN HAS INDICATED HE IS LOOKING AT A WARM UP PROBLEM NOW SINCE HE HAS REPLACED THE ECM. *NM

2004 SUZUKI VERONA EX DEVELOPED PROBLEMS WITH THE SEAT BELT EQUIPMENT.*MR THE REAR SEAT BELTS WOULD BECOME TOO TIGHT TO WITHSTAND AROUND ONE'S NECK. THE DEALER STATED WHEN THE SEAT BELTS WERE PULLED ALL THE WAY OUT, THEY WOULD ENTER THE RATCHET. *JB

DT: THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED BY ITSELF. THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED ON 4-13-05. THE CONSUMER WILL NOT BE APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE FUEL PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE WILL GO FASTER. IT WAS LIKE HAVING THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. HOWEVER, THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS OFF. THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS OF YET. THE CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS MULTIPLE TIMES.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 10 MINUTES AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON AUGUST 6, 2005 IT WAS SPUTERRING AND JERKING WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE ALSO AT LOW SPEEDS IT ACTS AS THOUGH IT IS GOING TO CUT OFF. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY FOUND CYLINDER #2 PLUG FAILED. THEY REPLACED IT. 2 DAYS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON I AM TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW AUGUST 25, 2005.

DT: ON 7/15/05. THE OWNER NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WHEN HE WAS JUST SITTING IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED, THE BACK OF THE SEAT FELT LIKE IT MALFUNCTIONED. THE RECLINER FELT TOO LOOSE. THE PROBLEM WAS WORSE WHEN GOING UP HILL. THE SEAT MOVED BACK ABOUT A 1/4 INCH. THE OWNER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO SAID THAT THE SEAT WAS AS TIGHT AS IT WOULD GET, AND THAT'S HOW IT WAS MANUFACTURED. SUZUKI RESPONDED THAT THE OWNER SHOULD GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. IF ANOTHER DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, THEN THERE WAS NOTHING FURTHER THAT SUZUKI WOULD DO. THE OWNER WAS CONCERNED ABOUT HIS SAFETY BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE THE RECLINER WOULD FLOP ON BACK, AND THE DRIVER COULD LOOSE CONTROL. (SUZUKI AERIO HAD TO BE CHOSEN, THERE WAS NO OPTION FOR VERONA) *AK *SC

DT: THE CONTACT OWNED A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA. THERE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING SURGING PROBLEM SINCE LAST FALL. DEALER SAID THIS WAS NORMAL. THE DEALER ADMITTED THAT IT WASN'T NORMAL.

AFTER FOX VALLEY SUZUKI REPROGRAMMED MY COMPUTER DUE TO RECALL, THE ENGINE HAS A LIFTER KNOCK, ESPECIALLY AFTER GOING 55-65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL ENGINE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TWICE, THEY SAY THAT IT IS NORMAL, BUT I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT NORMAL. ALSO WHEN AC IS ON, THERE IS A WHING NOISE WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, DEALER CLAIMS THEY CANNOT HEAR. LEFT TURN SIGNAL STICKS, DEALER CLAIMED THAT THEY FIXED, BUT STICKS ON DURING HOT WEATHER. I AM AFRAID THAT THE ENGINE IS GOING TO BLOW, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY BACK AND FORTH TO WORK WITH THE LIFTER KNOCK. PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU. *JB

VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY STALLING SINCE MAY OF 2005 AND BEEN IN THE DEALER'S SHOP TO BE REPAIRED AT LEAST FOUR TIMES WITH NO IMPROVEMENT IN THE DEFECT. VEHICLE STALLS AT DEACCELERATION AND AT IDLE WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY CONCERN. THE SUZUKI DEALER HAS REPROGRAMMED THE FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL CHIP AT LEAST TWO TIMES. SUZUKI MOTORS AMERICA HAS NOW TOLD THE DEALER TO TRY REPLACING THE THROTTLE SENSOR AND THE CAM SENSOR. THE DEALER (WENDLE SUZUKI) HAS BEEN VERY COOPERATIVE, BUT SUZUKI IS EXTREMELY SLOW TO TRY TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

DT: CONTACT OWNED A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA WHERE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STAYING ON. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEALER ABOUT 7-8 TIMES. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL CAP, COMPUTER, AND THE OXYGEN SENSOR. CONSUMER INSPECTED THE FUEL CAP AND FOUND THAT THE RUBBER PACKING ON THE FUEL CAP WAS CROOKED. CONSUMER REINSTALLED THE RUBBER PACKING ON FUEL CAP AND THIS REMEDIED THE PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYING ON. CONSUMER DID GO TO THE LOCAL SERVICE DEALER AND EXAMINED A FUEL CAP FOR A 2005 SUZUKI VERONA AND FOUND THE SAME ASSEMBLY OF THE FUEL CAP AS FOR FUEL CAP. THE SALES CONSULTANT OF THE DEALERSHIP WITNESSED THE ASSEMBLY OF THE FUEL CAP. *AK

MY CAR KEEP STOPPING AND STALLING IN TRAFFIC, IT JUST STOPS. I HAVE BEEN IN THREE NEAR CAR ACCIDENTS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALER AT 4 TIMES AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, IF ANYTHING THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. THE DEALER REPLACE A BRAIN, BUT STILL HAVE PROBLEM

THEY REPLACED SOME OF THE SENSORS. THE CAR WAS JERKING AND CUTTING OFF EVERY NOW AND THEN. THE CONSUMER NOTICED THE CAR WAS RIDING DIFFERENTLY. THE IGNITION HAS A BUZZING SOUND. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO FIX THE TACHOMETER. THE AIR CONDITIONER DOESN'T WORK. *AK THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WOULD CONTINUE GO DOWN. SMOKE WAS EMITTING FROM THE EXHAUST. *JB

I PURCHASED A NEW 2004 SUZUKI VERONA IN DEC OF 2004. I HAVE A 6 YEAR OLD WHO BY LAW MUST BE IN A BELT POSITIONING BOOSTER SEAT IN THE REAR SEAT. THIS VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY INCOMPATIBLE WITH EVERY BOOSTER SEAT ON THE MARKET. THE REAR "SEAT BITE" IS TOO NARROW AND THE SEAT BELT (RECEIVING END) IS TOO SHORT. I BROUGHT THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP (HUNTINGTON KIA/SUZUKI ON LONG ISLAND, NY)THEY WERE OF ABSOLUTELY NO ASSISTANCE. IN FACT THEIR ADVICE WAS COMPLETELY CONTRARY TO ALL MANUFACURER'S INSTRUCTIONS. I THEN CONTACTED SUZUKI CORP. AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO REMEDY TO MY PROBLEM. THEY DO NOT MANUFACTURE SEAT BELT EXTENDERS FOR THE REAR SEAT BELTS (WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE A SOLUTION???) I HAVE SENT A COMPLAINT TO THE NTSB WHO REFERRED ME TO THE NHTSA THIS IS MY 2ND CORRESPONDANCE WITH YOU.

I HAVE HAD A SERIES OF SAFETY CONCERNS INVOLVING A RECALL NOTICE THAT WAS ISSUED DUE TO A DEFECT WHICH EXISTS IN ALL 2004 SUZUKI VERONA PASSENGER CARS. THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) HAS A PROGRAM FAULT WHICH CAUSES THE FUEL TO AIR RATIO TO BECOME TOO LEAN IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES, RESULTS IN ENGINE STALLING. IF STALLING OCCURS, THIS CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. I PURCHASED A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA EX 2.5L AUTOMATIC, VEHICLE ID [XXX] ON 10/04/03 AT THE AUBURN SUZUKI DEALERSHIP, GIANT OF THE VALLEY. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER A DOZEN TIMES FOR THE SAME IDLE FLUCTUATION ISSUE AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WAS FINE AND THAT I COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT EVEN WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE WORKING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ISSUE. ON 5/9/05 MY CAR IS DROPPED OFF AT SUZUKI. ON 5/10/05 I RECEIVED A CALL (VOICE MESSAGE ON MY CELL PHONE) FROM JIM GOLDEN AT 5:09 P.M. STATING THAT THEY ORDERED A THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND THAT IT WOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUES OF IDLE DROPPING AND IDLE QUALITY. ON 5/11/05 I RETURNED JIM GOLDEN?S CALL AT 7:00 A.M. AND STATED THAT I WAS NOT CONVINCED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WOULD FIX MY CAR AND REQUESTED A REFUND. I ALSO STATED THAT I WAS FILING FOR THE WASHINGTON STATE LEMON LAW AT WHICH TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THE DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE WOULD CALL ME. ON 5/12/05 THE DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE, LEONARD SMITH CALLS ME AND STATES THAT THERE IS

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW SUZULI VERONA. I WHAD PUT L;ESS THAT 2000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER (WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE). I HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND UPON THEIR INSPECTION, I HAD A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE ENGINE WHICH REQUIRED A BRAND NEW ENGINE TO BE PUT IN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE ASKED SUZULI TO REPLACE MY CAR INSTEAD OF GIVING ME BACK THE ONE I PURCHASED 4 WEEKS AGO. STILL NO ANSWER. I WOULD HAVE NEVER EXPECTED A COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE I OWNED LESS THAN A MONTH WITH LESS THAN 2000 MILES ON IT.

I HAVE A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA PURCHASED MAY 2004 FROM TAO SUZUKI, FUQUAY VARINA, NC. ALMOST FROM THE START THE VEHICLE HAS HAD A HISTORY OF FREQUENTLY RUNNING ROUGH AND/OR STALLING OUT.
