Try to accelerate from a stop, there is no acceleration for at least 3 seconds- the car will then buck and go- very dangerous when trying to get out of a block or driving on a highway. Mechanic has it again- codes that come up mean nothing. Please help- it;s my daughter's car and she is only 17 going to drive to college which is 40 miles away on the highway.

This is my sisters car and has been getting steadily worse as time goes on. When she first purchased the car, 6 months ago, it was a slight hesitation. We thought it was the range sensor. That didn't solve the problem. Neither did new plugs, nor patching some vacuum leaks, cleaning maf sensor. Sudden, barely controllable speed changes, shifting out of sequence and hesitation when accelerating. This vehicle is a death trap. I feel, after all these testimonials, that gm should be held responsible. After all, the door tag says that it's a gm daewoo vehicle. Just because it has a suzuki grille, doesn't mean anything. All of these cars need to be scrapped and the owners properly compensated..

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.

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.

I have a 2004 suzuki verona lx that from the day I bought it the cruise control wanders or surges. It is getting worse with age. It will very as much as 10 MPH back and forth, back and forth until you turn it off. I have had several close calls at being rear ended when it slows down suddenly. I have had it to 4 different dealers and they all tell me the same thing. This is the way it is supposed to work. They tell me it was fixed in the 2005 & 2006 models. Then why can't they retrofit the 2004's. This is a terrible safety hazard that is getting worse as the vehicle gets older. It has 20000 miles on it now, what will happen when it has 50000? Quit running totally!!!
