ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
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.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SUZUKI VERONA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, HE NOTICED THAT THE SPEED INCREASED TO 90 MPH AND THE RPMS ALSO INCREASED EXCESSIVELY. WHEN HE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, ACTIVATED THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH EVENTUALLY SLOWED DOWN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE FAILURE WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS SINCE IT WAS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 76,000.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED 3 TIMES IN 2005 SUZUKI VERONA. INITIAL PROBLEM STARTED 1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASE (NEW), BUT DEALERSHIP MANAGED TO REPLACE SEVERAL OTHER PARTS FIRST AND FINALLY CONSENTED TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE DATE. 2ND REPLACEMENT WAS EXACTLY 4 YEARS LATER AT 68,000 MILES. AFTER TRANSMISSION REPLACED, COULD HEAR STRANGE SOUND FROM UNDER HOOD AND TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP. DEALER SAID IT WAS "TIRE NOISE". ONE WEEK LATER WE ARE NOW GETTING A THIRD TRANSMISSION. CAR STARTS TO "HICCUP" AND ONCE JARRED HARD ENOUGH TO LOCK SEAT BELTS. DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED PARTS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT HAS NOT ADDRESSED CONTINUING PROBLEMS SUCH AS SHUDDERING BREAKS, AIR BAG LIGHT THAT STAYS ON CONTINUOUSLY (TOLD THIS WOULD NOT AFFECT AIR BAG PERFORMANCE), PEELING PAINT OR HUB CAPS THAT KEEP POPPING OFF. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
MY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A MONTH AFTER I GOT THE CAR IN 2007. THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP PAID FOR IT TO BE REPLACED. IN 2008 MY CAR DID THE SAME THING AND THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. NOW, MY CAR IS COMING UP WITH THE SAME CODE AGAIN. THIS IS KEEPING ME FROM GETTING MY CAR INSPECTED. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
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

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS, STEERING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SUZUKI VERONA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS FIRST PURCHASED, IT PULLED TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BECAUSE BOTH THE CHECK ENGINE AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR, BUT THE FAILURE STILL OCCURRED. WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT START AND THE BATTERY WAS NEARLY DRAINED. IN MARCH OF 2008, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 250.
