UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH WENT OUT ON MY CAR AND LEFT MYSELF, MY DISABLED MOTHER, MY 10MO SON, AND MY 12MO NEPHEW STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY FOR OVER AN HOUR IN 103 DEGREE WEATHER. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SUZUKIS AND EVERYONE ON THE FORUMS IS REQUESTING THAT THIS DEFECTIVE PART BE CONSIDERED A RECALL.

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 SUZUKI VERONA FOR THE PAST 2 1/2 YEARS. WE HAVE OWNED IF FOR ALMOST 3 1/2. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER JUST A YEAR AFTER OWNING IT COMPLAINING OF A CLUNKING NOISE. ALL THEY DID WAS UPDATE THE SOFTWARE ON IT. THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT UNLESS A LIGHT WAS ON. IT WOULD NOT GENERATE A CODE BACK THEN, ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOW 2 1/2 YEARS LATER, THEY SAY THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR IS BAD. AFTER READING SEVERAL FORUMS, IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS HAPPENS A LOT ON THIS TYPE OF CAR AND SUZUKI'S IN GENERAL. IT IS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIR NEXT TUESDAY. *TR

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.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
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.

THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD PAY FOR THE FAULTY IGNITION. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
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
