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

SEAT BELTS
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

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, TIRES, EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL
I PURCHASED MY 2004 SUZUKI VERONA ON JAN. 30, 2007. FROM THE SECOND DAY I OWN IT, IT HAS MADE NOISE LIKE IT WAS A DIESEL ENGINE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE TOP END OF THE MOTOR WAS NORMAL, THAT IT WAS THE SELF ADJUSTING CAM GEARS. I COULD HEAR A ROD KNOCKING IN THE LOWER END OF THE MOTOR BUT NO ONE AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD HEAR IT AND THEIR TRAINED TO HEAR THESE TYPE OF THINGS. SUZUKI SUPPOSEDLY REBUILT THE TOP END OF THE MOTOR BUT THE TICKING CONTINUED. THEY THEN WERE SUPPOSEDLY TO HAVE REPLACED THE SHORT BLOCK ( THE LOWER END OF THE MOTOR) BUT THE ROD CONTINUES TO KNOCK TO THIS DAY. THE CAR HAS DIED AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 35 MPH UP TO 70 MPH. IT DIED ONE DAY AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO AVOID BEING BROAD SIDED BY AN ON-COMING VEHICLE WHERE MY MOTHER COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED. THE CAR ALSO SURGES FORWARD SOMETIMES WHEN TRYING TO STOP OR SITTING STILL. IT DIES SOMETIMES AT TAKE OFF CAUSING ME TO NEARLY BE REAR ENDED QUIT A FEW TIMES. I SUED SUZUKI FOR BREECH OF WARRANTY AND EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT GET AWARDED WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY, THEY DID PAY, ADMITTING GUILT. SUZUKI LIES ABOUT WORK PERFORMED, THEY AVOID DOING WORK THAT IS NECESSARY. AND THEN THEY DENY ALL PREVIOUS LIES THAT THEY HAVE TOLD. AND THEY CLAIM TO HAVE ONE OF THE BEST WARRANTIES IN AMERICA. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 2005 SUZUKI VERONA LX AND MY ABS LIGHT AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. TOOK TO DEALER AND IT WAS COMPUTER SCANNED AND FOUND C1200 C1201 AND FOUND A SHORT TO GROUND IN WIRE NEAR LEFT FRONT FENDER WELL. SHORT WAS REPAIRED. AND LIGHTS WENT OUT. WHILE DRIVING HOME THE ABS LIGHT COME ON. I RETURNED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEEDED TO ORDER A PART FOR THE HUB ON THE CAR. IT HAD TO BE ORDERED. *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

SEATS, POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I AM GOING TO LIST THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE WITH MY 04 SUZUKI VERONA EX. 1. TURN SIGNALS DO NOT CANCEL OUT (USUALLY WHILE TURNING LEFT) 2. STEERING WHEEL AUDIO CONTROLS, VOLUME ACTS LIKE A MUTE, SEAL ACTS LIKE MODE, MODE TURNS OFF RADIO AND THE CD PLAYER STICKS. 3. HEATED SEATS TURN ON AND OFF BY ITSELF. YOU NEED TO PUSH THE BUTTON A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT WILL ACTIVATE. 4. CRUISE CONTROL WILL DISENGAGE BY ITSELF (THIS IS INTERMITTENT) 5. HEAD LIGHTS BURN OUT ABOUT EVERY 3 - 4 MONTHS. 6. ONE ABS SENSOR WENT OUT AROUND 30K MILES AND THE SECOND WENT OUT ABOUT 80K MILES. 7. RIGHT NOW I HAVE CYLINDERS 5 & 6 THAT ARE MISFIRING ON THE VEHICLE THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE AMOUNT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS MORE THEN MY CAR IS WORTH. WE ARE 3K MILES OVER WARRANTY AND SO FAR SUZUKI WILL NOT HELP. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
PERIODIC LOW IDLE MISS OCCURRED FIRST FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, OCCASIONALLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON WITH IT FOR A VERY SHORT TIME. NOW, THE ENGINE STALLS OUT AT TRAFFIC STOPS. HAVE RECENTLY BEEN EXPERIENCING A FORWARD SURGE UPON PRESSING ON THE GAS FEED FROM A STOP OR LOW SPEED. I FEEL THAT MY SAFETY IS AT RISK, I AM AFRAID TO MAKE A LEFT TURN FOR FEAR THE CAR WILL STOP IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BE REAR ENDED, OR I COULD SURGE FORWARD INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIAN. I DO NOT GET ANY TYPE OF WARNING THAT THIS ABOUT TO OCCUR (THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON TYPICALLY, AND IF IT DOES COME ON OCCASIONALLY WITH THIS PROBLEM, IT DOES NOT LIGHT UP UNTIL AFTER THE SURGE OR POWER FAILURE OCCURS. I AM CONTACTING THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (52 MILES AWAY IS THE CLOSEST ONE). *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE, POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2004 SUZUKI VERONA PROBLEMS WITH JOLTING AFTER BEING STOPPED. CONSUMER STATES THAT WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED THE ENGINE WOULD NOT REGISTER IT RIGHT AWAY UNTIL ABOUT 3 SECONDS OR SO THEN THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH FORWARD. *KB THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE AS WELL. WHILE DRIVING, SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE STARTED DROPPING SPEED, THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING; THERE WAS SIMPLY NO CONNECTION BETWEEN THE RUNNING ENGINE AND THE GAS PEDAL. BECAUSE THE CONSUMER HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET, THE GAS PEDAL LODGED INTO THE FLOOR BOARD TRYING TO MAINTAIN CRUISING SPEED. SEVERAL COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED TO TRY AND RESOLVE THE PROBLEM SUCH AS THE TRANSMISSION, HEAD GASKETS, PCV, FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, FUEL PUMP, CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AND O2 SENSOR. THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINED IN OCTOBER 2006. IN MARCH 2007 A NEW ABS MODULE WAS INSTALLED. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, STEERING, TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
SO FAR, WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM CAME LOOSE AND FLOPPED AROUND WHILE DRIVING IN SEVERE STORM. TRANSMISSION MAKES A LOUD CLUNK WHEN RE ACCELERATING AT 5 AND 20 MPH. WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM WAS TIGHTENED, NO PROB. SINCE. TRANSMISSION STILL CLUNKS AND HAVE HAD IN TO DEALER 4 TIMES ALREADY. THEY HAVE REPLACED A CONTROL ARM AND A BALL JOINT. THEN HAD TO TAKE BACK TO HAVE STEERING WHEEL REALIGNED DUE TO THEIR NEGLECT. AFTER THAT STEERING WHEEL MADE A CLICKING NOISE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE CLUNK OR TO EVEN RE CREATE IT. IT HAPPENS FOR ME DAILY. NEXT CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AT NIGHT WHILE I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING GARAGE. UNABLE TO STEER CAR. TODAY, BRAKES ACTED LIKE THEY WEREN'T GOING TO STOP THE CAR, SOUNDED AND FELT LIKE A SPRING THAT IS BEING DEPRESSED AND NOT ABLE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LOAD. MY MAIN COMPLAINT,CONCERN IS THAT CAR WILL SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STEER AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, THAT THE CLUNKING IN TRANSMISSION AND IS A DESIGN DEFECT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I AM SENDING YOU THIS COMPLAINT IN AN ATTEMPT TO INFORM YOU OF SUZUKI MOTOR COMPANY THAT IS LOCATED IN YOU STATE. I LIVE IN TEXAS BUT HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH SUZUKI FOR OVER A YEAR NOW TRYING TO GET THEM TO MAKE REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE SO THAT I MAY NOT END UP IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THE SUZUKI VERONA I OWN. MY INFORMATION MAY NOT BE COMPLETELY ACCURATE BUT WHAT I HAVE READ DOES WARRANT AN INVESTIGATION ON YOUR PART. THE SUZUKI VERONA WAS A MODEL OF DAEWOO THEN SUZUKI BOUGHT DAEWOO FROM GENERAL MOTORS. ONE OF THE VEHICLES THEY PUT OUT ON THE MARKET WAS THE VERONA, I ASSUME WITHOUT MAKING ANY CHANGES TO ITS DRIVETRAIN. I HAVE READ THAT THE ENGINE DESIGNED BY DAEWOO WAS NOT DESIGNED TO BE OPERATED USING ANY TYPE OF FUEL THAT CONTAINS ETHANOL. ALL FUEL HAS ATLEAST 10% ETHANOL NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO IN AMERICA. DAEWOO NEVER INTENDED FOR THIS VEHICLE TO BE SOLD IN AMERICA. BUT SUZUKI PUT IT ON THE MARKET IN AMERICA WITHOUT ANY CONCERN OF WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES MIGHT BE TO THE PUBLIC. I HAVE READ OVER A HUNDRED AND FIFTY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VERONA AND THEY ALL COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME THING, THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE HAS DIED ON MY VERONA WHILE I HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I HAVE BEEN ON REGULAR SURFACE STREETS. IT HAS SURGED A FEW TIMES AND ON ONE OCCASION I STRUCK MY BROTHER WHILE HE WAS ATTEMPTING TO OPEN OUR GARAGE DOOR. LUCKILY I DID NOT HIT HIM VERY HARD SO HE WAS NOT INJURED, JUST SCRATCHES. BUT COULD YOU IMAGINE IF A MOTHER GOES TO PICK UP HER CHILDREN AND WHILE SITTING AT A CROSSWALK NEAR THE SCHOOL HER ENGINE SURGES AND THE VEHICLE JUMPS INTO THE CROSSWALK AND STRIKES CHILDREN POSSIBLY KILLING THEM OR CRIPPLING THEM FOR LIFE. SUZUKI HAS GONE OUT OF ITS WAY TO DO EVERYTHING TO AVOID DOING THE PROPER REPAIRS OR REPLACING THE ENGINE. I HAVE BEEN LIED TO BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER HERE IN FT. WORTH AND I HAVE BEEN LIED TO BY THE DISTRICT SERVICE REP. ( JEFF MARRIS ), ABOUT THE ENGINE. *TR
