2004 Suzuki Verona: misfire or rough idle

Filed May 11, 2010 · Engine, Fuel system · 70,900 miles · CA

When driving at slow speeds the engine stalls. Most recently this happened during stop and go driving at about 7 MPH. When accelerating out of a stop the car jerks and lunges forward. When driving at highway speeds the car runs rough. When accelerating to higher speeds the car hesitates and jerks. Customer has taken car into 4 different mechanics for these problems - most recently to the dealer who was unable to duplicate the stalling. Various attempts have been made to fix the rough running (spark plugs, alignment correction), but the problem persists.

I am going to list the problems that I have with my 04 suzuki verona ex. 1. Turn signals do not cancel out (usually while turning left) 2. Steering wheel audio controls, volume acts like a mute, seal acts like mode, mode turns off radio and the cd player sticks. 3. Heated seats turn on and off by itself. You need to push the button a few times before it will activate. 4. Cruise control will disengage by itself (this is intermittent) 5. Head lights burn out about every 3 - 4 months. 6. One ABS sensor went out around 30k miles and the second went out about 80k miles. 7. Right now I have cylinders 5 & 6 that are misfiring on the vehicle that need to be replaced. The amount to fix this problem is more then my car is worth. We are 3k miles over warranty and so far suzuki will not help.

Car has stalled since 2006 at 24k. Now it misfires, dealer told me it was spark plugs. Upon replacing them I noticed oil on them. I'm sure they'll give me the run around when I take it back. And why is there no investigation pending?

I have a 2004 suzuki verona purchased may 2004 from tao suzuki, fuquay varina, nc. Almost from the start the vehicle has had a history of frequently running rough and/or stalling out. A couple of times I almost got hit by other vehicles as a result of the stalling. Dealer has made adjustments to the fuel m ixture and stated that it should be fine. It continues to occasionally run rough and also stalls out. The latest incident was today, 29 april 2005. I feel it is a potential hazard to drive.

My verona hesitates badly when cold and continues although not as bad after warming up. Also it idles very roughly(misfires) when first started. The cruise control surges extremely bad when used.contacted dealer, and was supposed to get a call back in an hour, that was 1 week ago.this car only has 600 miles on it now.

Purchased a 2004 verona on 10/01/2003 and this is my fourth trip back to the dealer for service for the same issue of rough idle, hesitation and thick white smoke coming out of the exhaust. Vehicle has also stalled and I consider a safety risk when trying to accelerate from stops the vehicle does not move or when trying to pass other vehicles or going up an upgrade and the vehicle does not down shift at times.*ak pe04062_cat
