Bought this horrible car for $4,300 of financial aid money with "as is, no warranty". Owner said he'd fix the problem but did not even though he's not obliged to, but he went against his words for fixing the car. He said his mechanic will buy the new hose for the engine which he did, but did not put in a filter as said. Then they did not fix the oxygen sensor or put on new brake pads or rotors as said. The brakes and rotors are severely damage, and the oxygen sensor is busted. The coolant & anti-freeze tube burst, the left blinker blinks really fast, the smog light button doesn't work, the wheel alignment is off. It is just a terrible car I have bought wrongly.

Initially car had minor electrical issues, I.e. Clock would not work, problems with passenger side power windows. Right wheel hub assembly had to be replaced. Check engine light, surging and stalling at idle, upon filling gas tank, it would stop every gallon of gas put in, faulty intake manifold gasket had to be replaced. New spark plugs, air filter, clogged throttle body. Car now stalls/dies at idle when first starting up, outside temp gauge works intermittently, car suddenly loses power at intersections, loses power when making turns, jerks while driving at low speeds, feels like breaks are being applied driving downhill at highway speeds, air conditioner causes rpms to go below 750 and surge. These cars are a death trap on wheels and need to be fixed or replaced at no cost to the owner before someone gets killed!

I am having serious problems with my lifters where there is a continuous rattling sound, as well as a continuous tapping sound. I was never informed when I purchased my car brand new in november 2004 that there were any recalls on this vehicle as I have never received any information.

My 2004 suzuki verona currently has 102,000 miles on it, but started hesitating and stalling at 50,000 miles. Upon stopping at an intersection, the accelerator could be pressed to the floor and the vehicle would hesitate for several seconds and then surge forward. It would also stall at intersections at times. The check engine light would light at times, but not always. The local dealership began addressing this issue at 50,000 miles and followed the repairs approved by the suzuki rep. This LED to the vehicle being in for the same issue at least a half dozen times after the initial repair. Suzuki continued to approve partial repairs, but never approved the complete repair of the issue. This resulted in a recurrence as recently june of 2010, and once again partial repairs were approved. Once the vehicle passed the 100,000 mark in september, the issue occurred again, but suzuki refused any responsibility to further address the issue which left the vehicle un-drivable. The vehicle is currently at 102,000 miles and suzuki has failed to ever correct the issue, but now will do nothing because the vehicle is out of warranty. Suzuki continued to make partial repairs to my vehicle although they realized that their efforts were failing to correct the issue, and began to do full engine replacements of other veronas with the same issue.
