2004 Suzuki Verona

2004 SUZUKI VERONA EX [XXX]. I PURCHASED MY 2004 VERONA FROM CAR MAX IN AUSTIN, TX. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT STALLING, POOR ACCELERATION AND JERKING ACCELERATION. THERE IS NO EXACT MOMENT WHEN THIS HAPPENS BUT IT IS BECOMING A SERIOUS CONCERN WITHIN THE PAST MONTH AS IT HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT. I USED TO HAPPEN A COUPLE OF TIMES WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH BUT HAS INCREASED FREQUENCY TO AT LEAST ONCE TO TWICE A DAY IN THE PAST 30 DAYS. I PURCHASED THIS CAR, USED, AND HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 3 MONTHS.I TOOK IT TO THE SUZUKI DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND CONSULTED WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND WAS TOLD SINCE THE ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON THERE IS NO ERROR IN THE COMPUTER AND CAN NOT BE FIXED. HE SAID THAT REPAIRS FOR THIS OLD OF A CAR WOULD COST MORE TO TRY AND FIND THE ERROR THAN ITS WORTH. CLEO BAY SUZUKI 3620 EAST WHITESTONE BOULEVARD CEDAR PARK, TX 78613 (512) 259-6600. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA. THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AND SURGED FORWARD WHEN THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 113,000.

MY 2004 SUZUKI VERONA CURRENTLY HAS 102,000 MILES ON IT, BUT STARTED HESITATING AND STALLING AT 50,000 MILES. UPON STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION, THE ACCELERATOR COULD BE PRESSED TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AND THEN SURGE FORWARD. IT WOULD ALSO STALL AT INTERSECTIONS AT TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD LIGHT AT TIMES, BUT NOT ALWAYS. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP BEGAN ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE AT 50,000 MILES AND FOLLOWED THE REPAIRS APPROVED BY THE SUZUKI REP. THIS LED TO THE VEHICLE BEING IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE AT LEAST A HALF DOZEN TIMES AFTER THE INITIAL REPAIR. SUZUKI CONTINUED TO APPROVE PARTIAL REPAIRS, BUT NEVER APPROVED THE COMPLETE REPAIR OF THE ISSUE. THIS RESULTED IN A RECURRENCE AS RECENTLY JUNE OF 2010, AND ONCE AGAIN PARTIAL REPAIRS WERE APPROVED. ONCE THE VEHICLE PASSED THE 100,000 MARK IN SEPTEMBER, THE ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN, BUT SUZUKI REFUSED ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO FURTHER ADDRESS THE ISSUE WHICH LEFT THE VEHICLE UN-DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT 102,000 MILES AND SUZUKI HAS FAILED TO EVER CORRECT THE ISSUE, BUT NOW WILL DO NOTHING BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. SUZUKI CONTINUED TO MAKE PARTIAL REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE ALTHOUGH THEY REALIZED THAT THEIR EFFORTS WERE FAILING TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, AND BEGAN TO DO FULL ENGINE REPLACEMENTS OF OTHER VERONAS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HE ENGAGED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL OCCASIONALLY THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STALL; HOWEVER, THE DELAY NEARLY CAUSED A CRASH TO OCCUR. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACTS VIN WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM WHICH COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL; ALTHOUGH, THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE CAUSED THE FAILURE TO OCCUR. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 93000.

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

THE SEAT BELTS IN THE BACK SEAT WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. I HAVE 2 OUT OF THE 3 TO LOCK UP AND NOT WORK. I HAVE A 4YR OLD AND NOW SHE MUST RIDE BY THE DOOR DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF THE OTHER TWO SEATBELTS. I HAVE HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE OUT OF THIS CAR AND IT WAS BOUGHT NEW. IT SURGES AND HAS ALMOST GOT ME AND MY CHILD KILLED. I HAD IT IN THE SHOP FOR OVER A MONTH AND STILL HAVE ISSUES. THEY SAY IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN THEY DRIVE IT. LIKE IT IS IN MY HEAD. I DON'T RECOMMEND SUZUKI TO ANYONE! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA. THE CONTACT BRAKE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AFTER HE STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE AND APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO DEACTIVATE THE LIGHT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER TIME. IN ADDITION, WHENEVER THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED THE CRUISE AND TRACTION CONTROL WERE NONFUNCTIONAL. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.
