2004 Suzuki Verona Problems

The contact's fiancé owns a 2004 Suzuki Verona. The contact stated that on multiple occasions after starting the vehicle, the engine was lagging and then revved inadvertently. The contact also stated that while driving at various speeds and coming to a stop at a red light or stop sign, the vehicle stalled and lost motive power on multiple occasions. The vehicle was able to be restarted. Additionally, the contact stated that the driver's seat belt failed to latch, and the front passenger’s side seat belt locked without movement. The check engine, air bag, seat belt, and oil warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the timing chain and lifters needed to be replaced. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the additional failures. The vehicle was then taken to another independent mechanic, where a diagnostic tool retrieved various failure codes for unknown sensors and failure with the engine. The contact made a local dealer aware of the failures and the dealer confirmed there was no related recalls for the VIN. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 180,500.

TRY TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THERE IS NO ACCELERATION FOR AT LEAST 3 SECONDS- THE CAR WILL THEN BUCK AND GO- VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO GET OUT OF A BLOCK OR DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. MECHANIC HAS IT AGAIN- CODES THAT COME UP MEAN NOTHING. PLEASE HELP- IT;S MY DAUGHTER'S CAR AND SHE IS ONLY 17 GOING TO DRIVE TO COLLEGE WHICH IS 40 MILES AWAY ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS THE ENGINE STALLS. MOST RECENTLY THIS HAPPENED DURING STOP AND GO DRIVING AT ABOUT 7 MPH. WHEN ACCELERATING OUT OF A STOP THE CAR JERKS AND LUNGES FORWARD. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR RUNS ROUGH. WHEN ACCELERATING TO HIGHER SPEEDS THE CAR HESITATES AND JERKS. CUSTOMER HAS TAKEN CAR INTO 4 DIFFERENT MECHANICS FOR THESE PROBLEMS - MOST RECENTLY TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE STALLING. VARIOUS ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO FIX THE ROUGH RUNNING (SPARK PLUGS, ALIGNMENT CORRECTION), BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2004 SUZUKI VERONA ON JAN. 30, 2007. FROM THE SECOND DAY I OWN IT, IT HAS MADE NOISE LIKE IT WAS A DIESEL ENGINE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE TOP END OF THE MOTOR WAS NORMAL, THAT IT WAS THE SELF ADJUSTING CAM GEARS. I COULD HEAR A ROD KNOCKING IN THE LOWER END OF THE MOTOR BUT NO ONE AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD HEAR IT AND THEIR TRAINED TO HEAR THESE TYPE OF THINGS. SUZUKI SUPPOSEDLY REBUILT THE TOP END OF THE MOTOR BUT THE TICKING CONTINUED. THEY THEN WERE SUPPOSEDLY TO HAVE REPLACED THE SHORT BLOCK ( THE LOWER END OF THE MOTOR) BUT THE ROD CONTINUES TO KNOCK TO THIS DAY. THE CAR HAS DIED AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 35 MPH UP TO 70 MPH. IT DIED ONE DAY AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO AVOID BEING BROAD SIDED BY AN ON-COMING VEHICLE WHERE MY MOTHER COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED. THE CAR ALSO SURGES FORWARD SOMETIMES WHEN TRYING TO STOP OR SITTING STILL. IT DIES SOMETIMES AT TAKE OFF CAUSING ME TO NEARLY BE REAR ENDED QUIT A FEW TIMES. I SUED SUZUKI FOR BREECH OF WARRANTY AND EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT GET AWARDED WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY, THEY DID PAY, ADMITTING GUILT. SUZUKI LIES ABOUT WORK PERFORMED, THEY AVOID DOING WORK THAT IS NECESSARY. AND THEN THEY DENY ALL PREVIOUS LIES THAT THEY HAVE TOLD. AND THEY CLAIM TO HAVE ONE OF THE BEST WARRANTIES IN AMERICA. *TR

BOUGHT THIS HORRIBLE CAR FOR $4,300 OF FINANCIAL AID MONEY WITH "AS IS, NO WARRANTY". OWNER SAID HE'D FIX THE PROBLEM BUT DID NOT EVEN THOUGH HE'S NOT OBLIGED TO, BUT HE WENT AGAINST HIS WORDS FOR FIXING THE CAR. HE SAID HIS MECHANIC WILL BUY THE NEW HOSE FOR THE ENGINE WHICH HE DID, BUT DID NOT PUT IN A FILTER AS SAID. THEN THEY DID NOT FIX THE OXYGEN SENSOR OR PUT ON NEW BRAKE PADS OR ROTORS AS SAID. THE BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE SEVERELY DAMAGE, AND THE OXYGEN SENSOR IS BUSTED. THE COOLANT & ANTI-FREEZE TUBE BURST, THE LEFT BLINKER BLINKS REALLY FAST, THE SMOG LIGHT BUTTON DOESN'T WORK, THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS OFF. IT IS JUST A TERRIBLE CAR I HAVE BOUGHT WRONGLY. *TR

I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL "XC" NOTICE, IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL. DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT (DRL) MAY OVER HEAT RISKING VEHICLE FIRE. I CALLED SUZUKI AUTO (877) 697-8985 BECAUSE THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP IS NOW A DAYS DRIVE AWAY (SOME 300 MILES) INSTEAD OF HERE IN TOWN. I TOLD 2 OR 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE I WAS ABLE TO TALK TO, THAT IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO DRIVE THAT FAR. I AM ON VA AND SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITIES ALSO FULL TIME CARE GIVER WITH HELP FROM THE STATE FOR MY 87 YEAR OLD MOTHER WHO SUFFERS FROM DEMENTIA. SUZUKI WILL NOT AUTHORIZE ANY OTHER DEALERSHIP OR REPAIR FACILITY TO REPLACE THE MODULE. I EITHER DRIVE TO PHOENIX, AZ OR TRY TO SUE THEM IF THE CAR CATCHES FIRE. IT IS THEIR MANDATORY RECALL AND SHOULD DO ALL THAT NEEDS BEING DONE TO MAKE THE REPAIR RATHER THAN TELL ME SORRY IF YOU LIVE TO FAR AWAY TO GET IT DONE. *TR

THIS IS MY SISTERS CAR AND HAS BEEN GETTING STEADILY WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. WHEN SHE FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR, 6 MONTHS AGO, IT WAS A SLIGHT HESITATION. WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE RANGE SENSOR. THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. NEITHER DID NEW PLUGS, NOR PATCHING SOME VACUUM LEAKS, CLEANING MAF SENSOR. SUDDEN, BARELY CONTROLLABLE SPEED CHANGES, SHIFTING OUT OF SEQUENCE AND HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP. I FEEL, AFTER ALL THESE TESTIMONIALS, THAT GM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. AFTER ALL, THE DOOR TAG SAYS THAT IT'S A GM DAEWOO VEHICLE. JUST BECAUSE IT HAS A SUZUKI GRILLE, DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. ALL OF THESE CARS NEED TO BE SCRAPPED AND THE OWNERS PROPERLY COMPENSATED.. *TR

2004 SUZUKI VERONA WARRANTY ISSUES. CONSUMER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND CHARGES FOR THE REPAIRS TO HIS VEHICLE. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE CHECK LIGHT HAD ILLUMINATED. A DIAGNOSIS DETERMINED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SENSOR AND EGR VALVE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL OUT IN TRAFFIC SPORADICALLY AND THE TACHOMETER JUMPED UP AND DOWN. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES SHOWING PROBLEMS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AGAIN. THE CONSUMER WAS ALSO ADVISED TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS LEAKING AND THE RADIATOR AND LINES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB

I HAVE A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA MY KEY HAS BEEN GETTING JAMMED IN THE IGNITION FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS BUT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO START THE CAR. NOW THE CAR WON'T START AT ALL I PUT THE KEY AND THE IGNITION AND IT WON'T TURN. I HAVE TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, CHECKED THE SHIFT GEARS AND LOCK AND UNLOCKED THE CAR-NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. I THINK THIS IS A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS. THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD PAY FOR THE FAULTY IGNITION. *TR

I AM GOING TO LIST THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE WITH MY 04 SUZUKI VERONA EX. 1. TURN SIGNALS DO NOT CANCEL OUT (USUALLY WHILE TURNING LEFT) 2. STEERING WHEEL AUDIO CONTROLS, VOLUME ACTS LIKE A MUTE, SEAL ACTS LIKE MODE, MODE TURNS OFF RADIO AND THE CD PLAYER STICKS. 3. HEATED SEATS TURN ON AND OFF BY ITSELF. YOU NEED TO PUSH THE BUTTON A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT WILL ACTIVATE. 4. CRUISE CONTROL WILL DISENGAGE BY ITSELF (THIS IS INTERMITTENT) 5. HEAD LIGHTS BURN OUT ABOUT EVERY 3 - 4 MONTHS. 6. ONE ABS SENSOR WENT OUT AROUND 30K MILES AND THE SECOND WENT OUT ABOUT 80K MILES. 7. RIGHT NOW I HAVE CYLINDERS 5 & 6 THAT ARE MISFIRING ON THE VEHICLE THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE AMOUNT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS MORE THEN MY CAR IS WORTH. WE ARE 3K MILES OVER WARRANTY AND SO FAR SUZUKI WILL NOT HELP. *TR

2004 SUZUKI VERONA AXLE BROKE AWAY FROM VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THERE WERE NOT ANY SIGNS LEADING UP TO THE EVENT. THEY STATE THAT IT WAS DUE TO A MANUFACTURES DEFECT ON THE BALL JOINT. THE EVENT CAUSED MY FATHER TO HAVE SEVERE ANXIETY AND NO LONGER WANTS TO DRIVE OR BE DRIVEN IN THE VEHICLE. SUZUKI PAID HALF OF THE COST AND I PAID THE OTHER HALF. I CALLED FOR THE PART AND THEY SAY THEY HAD THROWN IT AWAY BECAUSE SUZUKI DID NOT WANT IT. I ALSO HAD THE NEUTRAL SWITCH (2005) GO OUT ON THE CAR WHICH CAUSED ME TO GO ONTO AN EMBANKMENT. THEY FIXED AT NO CHARGE. MY QUESTION IS ARE THE VEHICLES CONSIDERED "LEMONS". BECAUSE BY THE MEGAN MOSS LAW THEY ARE. BOTH OF THESE INCIDENTS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SEVERE INJURY. WHEN MY NEUTRAL SWITCH WENT OUT ON THE CAR, THEY HAD FOUR OTHER VEHICLES IN THE SHOP THAT HAD DONE THE SAME THING BUT THERE SEEMS THERE IS NO RECALLS FOR MAJOR THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO YOUR CAR, HOW CAN THAT BE? *JB

THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE STALLED WHILE AND RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. *NM THE PCM WAS REPLACED. THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THE STALLING PROBLEM WAS RECURRENT. OTHER PROBLEMS WERE; THE VEHICLE WOULD CUT OFF IN TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE MADE NOISES WHEN THE A/C WAS ON AND WHEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT. *SC THE OIL SEAL, GASKET AND ENGINE ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED DUE TO EN AN ENGINE KNOCK. *JB
