2004 Suzuki Verona

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

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." ORLANDO SAID THAT IS UP TO MY STATE TO DECIDE THAT . (???!) I OBTAINED THE ADDRESS WHERE ORLANDO IS LOCATED FOR AUTOMOTIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE 3251 E. IMPERIAL HWY. BREA, CALIF. 92822. HE WOULD NOT GIVE ME THE NAME OF A MANAGER TO ADDRESS MY LETTER TO. ORLANDO SAID HE WOULD CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP, THEN HE WILL CALL ME WITHIN 24-48 HOURS WITH THE STATUS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I AM NOT VERY HAPPY AT THIS POINT. *NM

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

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.

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

DT: CONSUMER HAD TO PUT A NEW ENGINE IN THE CAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BEFORE THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 4 TIMES ON AFTER THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE. 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 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.
