2004 Suzuki Verona

I PURCHASED A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA BRAND NEW. THE ENGINE IS NO GOOD. FIRST THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WITHOUT WARNING. I CALLED AND INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY NOTED THAT THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED AND THEY ASSURED ME IT SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM FIXING THE CAR SINCE IS WAS STILL PROTECTED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. THEY ASKED ME TO BRING IN ALL RECEIPTS PROVING THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED WHICH I COMPLIED WITH. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK THEY CALLED ME BACK AND TOLD ME IT APPEARED THE OIL HAD NOT BEEN CHANGED AND STATED THEY WERE NOT GOING TO REPAIR MY CAR. I HAD ALSO EXPLAINED THAT I WOULD BE LEAVING FOR VACATION AND I WOULD BE NEEDING THE LOANER CAR. AFTER THEY DETERMINED THEY WERE NOT GOING TO HELP, THEY LEFT ME STRANDED AT THE AIRPORT WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN WITH NO VEHICLE. NOW THEY HAVE STOP MAKING THE CAR AFTER 3YEARS. SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL OF THESE CONSUMER LOSSES. I NOW HAVE 10,000 PLUS WORTH OF JUNK THAT NOBODY WANTS. IT IS NOT FAIR AND I URGE ANYONE PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT SUZUKI IN ANY WAY. *TR

SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT THIS CAR IN DEC 2004 I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS, THE CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW THE CAR HAS REPEATEDLY CUTOFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, EQUIPMENT FAILURE THAT SOME HOW CAN NEVER BE DUPLICATED WHEN IT IS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. SUZUKI AND THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. THE CUTTING OFF HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS WITHOUT IT PROPERLY BEING FIXED. THIS CAR IS A LEMON AFTER ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS CAR THE COMPANY STOPPED MAKING THEM A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED MINE,THIS WAS ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED MY VERONA FROM. WITHIN 15-30 DAYS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE THE PROBLEMS STARTED, IT WAS IN THE SHOP ENOUGH THAT WE WERE TOLD ONE MORE TIME AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULD HAVE TO SWAP US OUT WITH A NEW ONE, WE DID NOT WANT A NEW ONE WE WANTED OUR MONEY BACK, HOWEVER THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED. WE HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO GET THIS MATTER TAKEN CARE OF WITH THIS CAR, IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SO ALL EXPENSES HAVE TO BE PAID BY ME, BUT IT IS THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR 3 YEARS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA. WHILE DRIVING 30-40 MPH THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND JERK. THE DEALER STATED THAT OXYGEN SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY REPLACED THE SENSORS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS LATER THE DEALER REPLACED THE HEAD ASSEMBLY GASKET AND PC FILTER; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. AS OF AUGUST 14, 2007, THE FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,431 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 27,000. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON 3 OCCASIONS. UPDATED 09/11/07. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN IT WAS IDLE AND WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AT A STOP SIGN. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE SHE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE DOES NOT OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS; HOWEVER, SHE IS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. ON FOUR OCCASIONS, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CODE ISN'T BEING READ BY THE MACHINE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

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.

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
