MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING FROM HOME WHEN HER 2005 SUZUKI VERONA JUST STARTED STALLING AND IT CUT OFF. IT CUT OFF WITHOUT NOTICE OR WARNING. SHE ATTEMPTED TO RESTART CAR AND WHEN DOING SO THE CAR DID NOT START. THEN SHE TRIED AGAIN IT STARTED AND DROVE IT BACK HOME WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I THEN HAD THE SPARK PLUGS REPLACED AND FIXED THE CORRODED BATTERY TERMINAL. I DROVE THE CAR ON 10/29/2014 AT 2:00AM IN THE MORNING HEADED TO WORK AND IT WAS JUST HARD TO ACCELERATE THEN IT WOULD SURGE, THE RPMS WOULD GET REALLY HIGH AND THE CAR WOULD ACT AS THOUGH IT WANTS TO CUT OFF! THERE IS A RECALL ON THE LIGHTS OF THESE VEHICLES BUT THEY HAVEN'T HAD THEM SENT OR REQUESTED TO BE FIXED. I HAVE READ WHERE THERE IS NO FIXING TO THESE CARS AND THAT US OWNERS OF THESE CARS ARE ALL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND SOME HAVE HAD FATALITIES. TO GM AND OTHER MANUFACTURERS OF THESE CARS, YOU KNOW THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND GIVEN THE FULL VALUE OF THE CAR WHEN PURCHASED OR HALF OF IT AND AS THE FAMILY OF FATALITIES, THERE NEEDS TO BE THE FULL VALUE OF PURCHASE AND FUNERAL BURIAL EXPENSES. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THOSE FAMILIES WHO LOST LOVE ONES AND TO THOSE WHO ARE SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND CAN'T REALLY AFFORD ANOTHER, I WOULD ADVISE AGAINST DRIVING IT IF YOU CAN IF YOU MUST BE CAREFUL BECAUSE IT CAN CUTOFF WITHOUT WARNING OR NOTICE AND CAUSE INJURY. I DON'T LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE IF IT HAD BEEN HER INJURED I WOULD BE SEEKING A LAWSUIT AGAINST SUZUKI, GM, OR WHOM RESPONSIBLE. *TR

PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. BRAKES WOULD SHUDDER, MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND VIBRATED. HAD TO PUMP THEM TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. COLEMAN DEALERSHIP (LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ 08648) CLAIMED IT WAS DUE TO WARPED ROTORS. REPLACED ROTORS BRAKE PADS AND FLUSHED BRAKE SYSTEM. PROBLEM RECURRED IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP. RETURNED CAR TO DEALERSHIP ON 6/08/2010. DEALERSHIP STATED THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A BROKEN SENSOR. DEALERSHIP REPLACED SENSOR UNDER WARRANTY, BUT PROBLEM WITH SENSOR RECURRED AFTER 10 MONTHS AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DO NOT WORK. WAS TOLD THE BRAKE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A BROKEN SENSOR AGAIN. CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ALSO, AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON CONTINUOUSLY (TOLD THIS WOULD NOT AFFECT AIR BAG PERFORMANCE) BUT THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

I REAR ENDED A COMPLETELY STOPPED VEHICLE DOING APPROXIMATELY 45MPH. MY HEAD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND THEN THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING ME TO SUFFER A LACERATION OF MY EYE, MULTIPLE FACIAL BRUISING, CONCUSSION, TEMPORARILY KNOCKED OUT, WHEN I WOKE UP I WAS PARALYZED FROM THE WAIST UP FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES. MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS CRASH IS AS FRONTAL OF A CRASH AS YOU CAN GET AND I ASSURE YOU THE SPEED WAS 40-45 AND THAT THE COLLISION WAS SEVERE.. THE SUZUKI MANUAL SAYS AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY ON FRONTAL OR NEAR FRONTAL COLLISIONS AT 9MPH -- 13MPG IF YOU HIT SOMETHING THAT WONT MOVE, BUT IF YOU HIT A PARKED CAR THE AIRBAGS REQUIRE YOU TO BE SLIGHTLY OVER THAT FOR AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. I RESEARCHED THIS AND SUZUKI RECALLED 5 MODELS IN 2005 FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS, 2 MODELS IN ANOTHER COUNTRY WERE RECALLED DUE TO FAULTY AIRBAGS. THE (2004) VERONA FAILED ITS CRASH TEST DUE TO FAULTY AIRBAGS. IT IS MY CONTENTION THAT DUE TO HORRIFICALLY LOW SALES OF THIS MODEL, SUZUKI FELT THAT IT WOULD BE CHEAPER TO LITIGATED ACCIDENTS THEN TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE. SO IN THIS INSTANCE THEY WILL HAVE THEIR CHANCE TO LITIGATE!! *TR

THE PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT RESURFACED AGAIN, AND THE DEALER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS THE FRONT SEAT HARNESS. THE THIRD TIME THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD IT WAS THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY. THE BRAKE NOISE WAS DUE TO WARPED ROTORS. *JB
