2004 Suzuki Verona

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. ON JULY 5, 2005 , SHE TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND THEY RAN A TEST ON IT . SAID IT NEEDED A THROTTLE BODY WHICH THEY ORDERED. THEY SAID SHE COULD BRING IT IN ON MONDAY 7-18-2005, ON THURSDAY 7-14-2005 IT DIED ON THE FREEWAY. AFTER WAITING ABOUT 1 MINUTE, IT RESTARTED AND DIED AGAIN. SHE WAS PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY. SHE CALLED THE DEALER , AND SAID SHE WOULD LIKE TO BRING IT IN ON JULY 15 INSTEAD OF JULY 25. IT IS AT THE DEALER AT PRESENT. DEALER HAS TALKED TO THE MANUFACTURER. *AK *JB

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 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.
