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

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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION THE ENGINE STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED PRIOR THE INCIDENT. A RECALL LETTER WAS RECEIVED IN REFERENCE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH HOWEVER THE RECALL WAS NOT LISTED IN THE OFFICE OF DEFECT INVESTIGATION DATABASE. THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED SEVERAL REPAIRS BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. THERE WAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENING DIFFICULTIES TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THERE WAS ALSO A LOUD NOISE IN THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWENTY TIMES. AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO PURSUE THE LEMON LAW BUT ADVICE WAS PROVIDED TO GIVE THE DEALERSHIP ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO SOLVE THE ENGINE DEFECT. THE ENGINE WAS EVEN REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED. EVENTUALLY, THE LEMON LAW WAS NO LONGER APPLICABLE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD MORE THAN 18,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY DETERMINED THE ENGINE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO DEFECTIVE INJECTORS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO LEFT THE RESOLUTION UP TO THE DEALERSHIP.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA. WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF PURCHASE THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP UP TO AT LEAST 20 TIMES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF EVERY OTHER DAY OR SO. THAT REALLY DID NOT BOTHER ME SO MUCH. LAST WINTER THE CAR DECIDED TO NOT ACCEPT FUEL. THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS. FOR THE LAST 4 OR MORE MONTHS THIS CAR STALLS, IT SURGES, IT ACCELERATES ABOVE 3000 RPM AT STOP LIGHTS, IT ALMOST OR DOES DIE AT INTERSECTIONS, IT JUST DECIDES TO NOT GO 60 AND SLOWS YOU DOWN TO 40 LIKE THE BRAKES HAVE COME ON. I CARRY AROUND MY 4 YEAR OLD EVERYDAY IN THIS CAR I WORK 60 MILES FROM MY HOME. EVERYDAY I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THIS CAR WILL DO AND IT SCARES ME THAT MY SON AND I WILL BE IN AN ACCIDENT OR HOW WILL IT BE LIKE ON ICE AND SNOW THIS WINTER. THIS CAR TAKES A BIG CHUNK OF MY PAYCHECK AND I FEEL IT WOULD BE BETTER IF I DIDN'T DRIVE THIS CAR. SUZUKI THIS CAR IS A JOKE NEVER AGAIN WOULD I EVER BUY ANOTHER SUZUKI ANYTHING. I BELIEVE THIS CALLS FOR SOME ACTION ON ALL THESE PEOPLE IN THIS SITUATION. MAKE IT RIGHT SUZUKI. *JB

COMPLAINT NO. 1 THE FUEL LINE OF MY 2004 SUZUKI VERONA BECAME DISCONNECTED, CAUSING ME TO LOSE POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND CAUSING FUEL TO SPILL ON THE ROADWAY. THE PROBLEM WAS ALLEGEDLY FIXED BY FRANKLIN SQUARE SUZUKI. HOWEVER, A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE FUEL LINE AGAIN BECAME DISCONNECTED CAUSING ME TO LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSING FUEL TO BE SPILLED ON THE ROADWAY. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED BY MALMSTROM SUZUKI. COMPLAINT NO. 2. THE BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH HAS BECOME INOPERABLE SIX OR SEVEN TIMES. WHEN THE SWITCH BECOMES INOPERABLE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT ACTIVATED WHEN I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION LEVER CANNOT BE RELEASED FROM PARK UNLESS I USE THE KEYHOLE OVERRIDE. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPAIRED EACH TIME (OCCASIONALLY AFTER A FEW VISITS), BUT NEVERTHELESS, HAS OCCURRED WAY TOO MANY TIMES, EVEN AFTER SUZUKI SUPPOSEDLY CAME UP WITH A FIX FRO THE PROBLEM BY REDESIGNING THE BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH. THE MOST RECENT DATE IS INDICATED BELOW.*JB
