I have a 2004 suzuki verona my key has been getting jammed in the ignition for the past two years but I have been able to start the car. Now the car won't start at all I put the key and the ignition and it won't turn. I have turn the steering wheel, checked the shift gears and lock and unlocked the car-nothing seems to work. I think this is a manufacture problem not normal wear and tear this vehicle is only 6 years old and I have been having this problem for the past 2 years. The manufacture should pay for the faulty ignition.

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 Eventually, the lemon law was no longer applicable because the vehicle had more than 18,000 miles.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.

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.
