I bought a 2004 suzuki verona 4 door sedan, in october 2003. Since then I have taken it to the dealership numerous times, they keep sending me away without fixing it, they say when the car stalls thats the way it was designed. And all the cars I have owned in the past I've never heard of them being designed to stall!! It does not accelerate properly, the car stalls miss fires when cold, it doesn't shift right, the service person said that it was my driving (bull)! The mechanic supposed to fix the clock three times and still doesn't work, the heated seats don't work properly, the cigerette liter doesn't work, they said it was the fuse but the fuses are good. I am extremely unhappy with the proformance of this car, they have told me that nobody else has had any complaints, that mine is the first.there needs to be something done before somebody gets hurt or even killed, especially today when I tried to pull out into traffic and it didn't wont to accelerate it started to go and it wouldn't move, after I proceeded to go it wouldn't do nothing almost causing me to get hit by an on coming car, that wouldn't slow down!!! Disgusted in south carolina!!! I would not reccomend a suzuki to anyone, they are all junk. *la pe04062_cat
My verona had a problem of feeling like it wasn't shifting right. The first time I was going about 40-50 MPH and it felt like the brake was on or in first gear. The second time 30-40 MPH the same thing. Then the service engine soon light came on. I took it to the dealer and they said " I'm not pointing any fingers but it shows that the throttle and the brake was on at the same time". Which I took to mean I was driving with my brake on while accelerating. This was not the case. Told him that if I pulled over and shut the car off and then restarted it that the problem went away. Their answer to drive it in (30 miles) when the car was having that problem.
