2004 suzuki verona ex [xxx]. I purchased my 2004 verona from car max in austin, tx. I have been experiencing intermittent stalling, poor acceleration and jerking acceleration. There is no exact moment when this happens but it is becoming a serious concern within the past month as it has become more frequent. I used to happen a couple of times within the first month but has increased frequency to at least once to twice a day in the past 30 days. I purchased this car, used, and have only had it for 3 months.I took it to the suzuki dealership for an oil change and consulted with the service manager and was told since the engine light does not come on there is no error in the computer and can not be fixed. He said that repairs for this old of a car would cost more to try and find the error than its worth. Cleo bay suzuki 3620 east whitestone boulevard cedar park, tx 78613 (512) 259-6600.

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.

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).

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.
