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.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA BRAND NEW. THE ENGINE IS NO GOOD. FIRST THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WITHOUT WARNING. I CALLED AND INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY NOTED THAT THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED AND THEY ASSURED ME IT SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM FIXING THE CAR SINCE IS WAS STILL PROTECTED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. THEY ASKED ME TO BRING IN ALL RECEIPTS PROVING THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED WHICH I COMPLIED WITH. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK THEY CALLED ME BACK AND TOLD ME IT APPEARED THE OIL HAD NOT BEEN CHANGED AND STATED THEY WERE NOT GOING TO REPAIR MY CAR. I HAD ALSO EXPLAINED THAT I WOULD BE LEAVING FOR VACATION AND I WOULD BE NEEDING THE LOANER CAR. AFTER THEY DETERMINED THEY WERE NOT GOING TO HELP, THEY LEFT ME STRANDED AT THE AIRPORT WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN WITH NO VEHICLE. NOW THEY HAVE STOP MAKING THE CAR AFTER 3YEARS. SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL OF THESE CONSUMER LOSSES. I NOW HAVE 10,000 PLUS WORTH OF JUNK THAT NOBODY WANTS. IT IS NOT FAIR AND I URGE ANYONE PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT SUZUKI IN ANY WAY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT THIS CAR IN DEC 2004 I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS, THE CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW THE CAR HAS REPEATEDLY CUTOFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, EQUIPMENT FAILURE THAT SOME HOW CAN NEVER BE DUPLICATED WHEN IT IS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. SUZUKI AND THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. THE CUTTING OFF HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS WITHOUT IT PROPERLY BEING FIXED. THIS CAR IS A LEMON AFTER ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS CAR THE COMPANY STOPPED MAKING THEM A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED MINE,THIS WAS ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED MY VERONA FROM. WITHIN 15-30 DAYS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE THE PROBLEMS STARTED, IT WAS IN THE SHOP ENOUGH THAT WE WERE TOLD ONE MORE TIME AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULD HAVE TO SWAP US OUT WITH A NEW ONE, WE DID NOT WANT A NEW ONE WE WANTED OUR MONEY BACK, HOWEVER THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED. WE HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO GET THIS MATTER TAKEN CARE OF WITH THIS CAR, IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SO ALL EXPENSES HAVE TO BE PAID BY ME, BUT IT IS THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR 3 YEARS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
THE SUZUKI VERONA HAD BRAKE FAILURE NUMEROUS TIMES. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED DURING THE WEEK OF APRIL 26, 2007. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT FUNCTION AND MADE A LOUD SOUND AND VIBRATED. I HAD TO PUMP ON THEM TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AT THIS TIME. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP, AND THEY TOLD ME THE BRAKES AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY REPLACED THE BRAKES, BUT THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. NEXT, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THAT THE ABS SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THAT THIS WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE BRAKES NOT MAKING THE CAR STOP. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY) DID NOT KNOW WHY THE BRAKES WERE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. SINCE THEN, THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS OCCURRENCES WHERE THE BRAKES WOULDN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY, AND IN SOME CASES DIDN'T WORK WHEN THE BRAKES WERE PUMPED" EITHER. AT THIS POINT, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE I FEEL AN ACCIDENT WAS INEVITABLE.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
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

POWER RETURNS AND ENGINE LIGHT STOPS FLASHING AND STAYS ON. THIS HAS HAPPEN DOZENS OF TIMES AND I HAVE TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER TO BE REPAIRED TODAY WILL BE THE 4TH TIME FOR THE SAME THING. I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING IT ON THE HWY BECAUSE I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A TRUCK WHEN ENTERING HWY AND LOST POWER. SINCE RESEARCHING THIS VEHICLE I HAVE FOUND TWO OTHERS WITH THE SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. *JB
