Tl*the contact owns a 2004 suzuki verona. The vehicle stalled when it was idle and when she attempted to accelerate at a stop sign. This has occurred since she purchased the vehicle. The failure does not occur at highway speeds; however, she is uncomfortable with the safety risk involved when the vehicle lost power. On four occasions, the dealer stated that the code isn't being read by the machine and the check engine light is not illuminated. The failure mileage was 11,000 and the current mileage was 25,000.

Complaint no. 1 the fuel line of my 2004 suzuki verona became disconnected, causing me to lose power while I was driving and causing fuel to spill on the roadway. The problem was allegedly fixed by franklin square suzuki. However, a few months later, the fuel line again became disconnected causing me to lose power while driving and causing fuel to be spilled on the roadway. The problem was fixed by malmstrom suzuki. Complaint no. 2. The brake pedal switch has become inoperable six or seven times. When the switch becomes inoperable, the brake lights are not activated when I depress the brake pedal. In addition, the transmission lever cannot be released from park unless I use the keyhole override. The problem has been repaired each time (occasionally after a few visits), but nevertheless, has occurred way too many times, even after suzuki supposedly came up with a fix fro the problem by redesigning the brake pedal switch. The most recent date is indicated below.

I recently purchased a new suzuli verona. I whad put l;ess that 2000 miles on the vehicle when the vehicle lost power (while I was driving on the interstate). I had to pull off to the side of the road and call for a tow truck. My vehicle was towed back to the dealer and upon their inspection, I had a complete failure of the engine which required a brand new engine to be put in my vehicle. I have asked suzuli to replace my car instead of giving me back the one I purchased 4 weeks ago. Still no answer. I would have never expected a complete engine failure on a brand new vehicle I owned less than a month with less than 2000 miles on it.
