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.
2004 Suzuki Verona engine complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 79, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Suzuki verona 2004 purchased the car new had engine replaced and on 3 rd transmission. Car recently was parked with a child inside of it and went up in flames fortunately no one was injured. Car was destroyed and total. Suzuki has had major issues with this vehicle and refuse to do anything. This car is a death trap waiting to happen. I had the serviced regularly and had a certified suzuki dealership to do all warrant work on vehicle and it was regularly serviced.
I purchased my 2004 suzuki verona on jan. 30, 2007. From the second day I own it, it has made noise like it was a diesel engine. I was told that the ticking sound coming from the top end of the motor was normal, that it was the self adjusting cam gears. I could hear a rod knocking in the lower end of the motor but no one at the service department could hear it and their trained to hear these type of things. Suzuki supposedly rebuilt the top end of the motor but the ticking continued. They then were supposedly to have replaced the short block ( the lower end of the motor) but the rod continues to knock to this day. The car has died at speeds between 35 MPH up to 70 MPH. It died one day as I was making a left hand turn and I was barely able to avoid being broad sided by an on-coming vehicle where my mother could have been injured or killed. The car also surges forward sometimes when trying to stop or sitting still. It dies sometimes at take off causing me to nearly be rear ended quit a few times. I sued suzuki for breech of warranty and even though I did not get awarded what they should have had to pay, they did pay, admitting guilt. Suzuki lies about work performed, they avoid doing work that is necessary. And then they deny all previous lies that they have told. And they claim to have one of the best warranties in america.
2004 suzuki verona warranty issues. Consumer had a problem with the dealership and charges for the repairs to his vehicle. *nj the consumer stated the check light had illuminated. A diagnosis determined there was a problem with the fuel sensor and egr valve. The vehicle continued to stall out in traffic sporadically and the tachometer jumped up and down. The dealership could not find any codes showing problems and the check engine light did not come on again. The consumer was also advised transmission fluid was leaking and the radiator and lines needed to be replaced.
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).
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 suzuki verona. While driving at any speed, the vehicle will suddenly shut off. The vehicle was able to restart immediately after the failure. There were no warning indicators prior to the intermittent failure. The vehicle has been diagnosed by the dealer, but the failure still persists. The current mileage was 48,248 and failure mileage was 32,000.
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.
I am sending you this complaint in an attempt to inform you of suzuki motor company that is located in you state. I live in texas but have been dealing with suzuki for over a year now trying to get them to make repairs to my vehicle so that I may not end up in a serious accident caused by the suzuki verona I own. My information may not be completely accurate but what I have read does warrant an investigation on your part. The suzuki verona was a model of daewoo then suzuki bought daewoo from general motors. One of the vehicles they put out on the market was the verona, I assume without making any changes to its drivetrain. I have read that the engine designed by daewoo was not designed to be operated using any type of fuel that contains ethanol. All fuel has atleast 10% ethanol no matter where you go in america. Daewoo never intended for this vehicle to be sold in america. But suzuki put it on the market in america without any concern of what the consequences might be to the public. I have read over a hundred and fifty complaints about the verona and they all complain about the same thing, the engine. The engine has died on my verona while I have been on the highway and when I have been on regular surface streets. It has surged a few times and on one occasion I struck my brother while he was attempting to open our garage door. Luckily I did not hit him very hard so he was not injured, just scratches. But could you imagine if a mother goes to pick up her children and while sitting at a crosswalk near the school her engine surges and the vehicle jumps into the crosswalk and strikes children possibly killing them or crippling them for life. Suzuki has gone out of its way to do everything to avoid doing the proper repairs or replacing the engine. I have been lied to by the service department manager here in ft. Worth and I have been lied to by the district service rep. ( jeff marris ), about the engine.
I purchased a 2004 suzuki verona brand new. The engine is no good. First the oil light came on then the service engine light without warning. I called and informed the dealership. They noted that the oil had been changed and they assured me it should be no problem fixing the car since is was still protected under factory warranty. They asked me to bring in all receipts proving the oil had been changed which I complied with. After about a week they called me back and told me it appeared the oil had not been changed and stated they were not going to repair my car. I had also explained that I would be leaving for vacation and I would be needing the loaner car. After they determined they were not going to help, they left me stranded at the airport with my two young children with no vehicle. Now they have stop making the car after 3years. Someone needs to be held accountable for all of these consumer losses. I now have 10,000 plus worth of junk that nobody wants. It is not fair and I urge anyone please do not support suzuki in any way.
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?
Since I first bought this car in dec 2004 I have had problems, the car was bought brand new the car has repeatedly cutoff in the middle of traffic, equipment failure that some how can never be duplicated when it is taken to the dealer. Suzuki and the dealership I purchased the car from are aware of the problems that I have had with this car. The cutting off has been going on for almost 3 years without it properly being fixed. This car is a lemon after all the problems I have experienced with this car the company stopped making them a year after I purchased mine,this was according to the dealership that I purchased my verona from. Within 15-30 days of having the vehicle the problems started, it was in the shop enough that we were told one more time and the dealership would have to swap us out with a new one, we did not want a new one we wanted our money back, however the owner of the dealership refused. We have been attempting to get this matter taken care of with this car, it is no longer under warranty so all expenses have to be paid by me, but it is the same problems that I have been dealing with for 3 years.
Vehicle randomly stalls while driving, resulting loss poor brakes and steering.
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 suzuki verona. While driving 30-40 MPH the vehicle would stall and jerk. The dealer stated that oxygen sensors needed to be replaced. They replaced the sensors; however, the failure continued to occur. Approximately two months later the dealer replaced the head assembly gasket and pc filter; however, the failure continued to occur. As of august 14, 2007, the failure has not been corrected. The failure mileage was 8,431 and the current mileage was 27,000. The vehicle has stalled on 3 occasions. Updated 09/11/07.
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.
Engine knocks, stalls & dies, rough idling, hesitates, jerking, engine surges when stopped..dies while slowing down..check engine light comes on all the time. Dealer reset computer, replaced throttle body assy, performed tsb & recalibrated PCM, replaced both oxygen sensors.
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.
The idle will not stay at one speed / goes from 750 down to 300 back up to 1200 . The dealers act like they have never heard of this problem and do not know how to fix it. The 2 dealers in my area have now closed up and I have to go farther now to get it serviced.
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.
2004 suzuki verona stalled without warning. *kb days after the vehicle was purchased it stalled on the freeway. The check engine light illuminated. It's been two years since the first incident yet the dealer still hasn't been able to determine the cause of the problem. The dealer has replaced many components (o2 sensor, throttle body engine coil) but none have rectified the problem.
Vehicle has ran poorly since about 2 months after purchase. Constant vibration in steering wheel and under vehicle. Have had stalling issues and acceleration issues. Have taken to dealer several times and they can never duplicate problem. They are now blaming the problem on "faulty tires". Have had tires replaced and no improvement to drivability of car. Have almost been hit 2 times in traffic due to acceleration problems. Dealer refusing to work on vehicle now even though under warranty. Also problem with radio controls on steering wheel. Although the part was replaced, 2 weeks later I am experiencing the same problem.
Nov. 14, 2005 6:45 am - this is the 3rd time this year that this 2004 suzuki verona has had an engine stalled problem. The first was jan. 07, 2005 and the 2nd time was jan. 24, 2005. I took my car in to the ferman chrysler/jeep/suzuki dealership today (again) and left it with service manager, brian cummings. Brian said he will check the car out, then get in touch with suzuki to see what they will do. I advised brian that this is the 3rd time in less than 24 months as required by the "lemon law" for this vehicle to have the same problem in order for the vehicle to be replaced. Brian said he will have someone call me back today between 2-3pm with the status. I called suzuki customer service at 1‑800‑934‑0934 and spoke w/ orlando at ext. 2471. I explained the situation to orlando and advised him that this is the 3rd engine stalled failure with my car. He said this is the first notice they have had of this problem. This was much to my surprise as I was advised on the 1st and 2nd failure that the ferman dealership was in contact with suzuki. Orlando said they might have gotten in touch with the florida district manager, patricia robinson who apparently did not notify suzuki either as there is no record of this matter from her. (orlando advised me that he could not give out the dist. Mgr's ph# and addr. Because this is her personal residence). I advised orlando that I do not want this car back as I am afraid of an accident occurring and that I would like to evoke the "lemon law." orlando said that is up to my state to decide that . (???!) I obtained the address where orlando is located for automotive customer service 3251 e. Imperial hwy. Brea, calif. 92822. He would not give me the name of a manager to address my letter to. Orlando said he would contact the dealership, then he will call me within 24-48 hours with the status. Needless to say, I am not very happy at this point.
Dt: the contact stated the engine service light kept coming on the 2004 suzuki verona. Oil was getting in the gas line. Vehicle has been to the dealership over the past year repeatedly for the engine service light problem. The transmission was not automatically shifting. The contact said that it seemed to be connected to the engine light. As of yesterday, the speedometer was not working. The manufacturer has been called ,and they said that they would notify the dealer and try to figure out what was wrong with the vehicle. The dealership did not call the contact. The dealer said that there was nothing wrong with the car. The 02 sensor has been replaced once, and was currently waiting on another 02 sensor to be installed. The only problem was that the part has not been manufactured.
Engine light came on 10 minutes after I purchased the vehicle on august 6, 2005 it was sputerring and jerking when I tried to accelerate also at low speeds it acts as though it is going to cut off. The vehicle is still under warranty. Took it to the dealer they found cylinder #2 plug failed. They replaced it. 2 days later the engine light was back on I am taking the car back to the dealership tomorrow august 25, 2005.
After fox valley suzuki reprogrammed my computer due to recall, the engine has a lifter knock, especially after going 55-65 MPH on the highway. Sounds like a diesel engine. Took it to the dealer twice, they say that it is normal, but I know that it is not normal. Also when AC is on, there is a whing noise while the car is in motion, dealer claims they cannot hear. Left turn signal sticks, dealer claimed that they fixed, but sticks on during hot weather. I am afraid that the engine is going to blow, I have been driving the car on the highway back and forth to work with the lifter knock. Please help! Thank you.
Vehicle has been repeatedly stalling since may of 2005 and been in the dealer's shop to be repaired at least four times with no improvement in the defect. Vehicle stalls at deacceleration and at idle without warning. This is an extreme safety concern. The suzuki dealer has reprogrammed the fuel system control chip at least two times. Suzuki motors america has now told the dealer to try replacing the throttle sensor and the cam sensor. The dealer (wendle suzuki) has been very cooperative, but suzuki is extremely slow to try to solve this problem.
Dt: contact owned a 2004 suzuki verona where the engine light was staying on. Consumer took the vehicle to the service dealer about 7-8 times. They replaced the fuel cap, computer, and the oxygen sensor. Consumer inspected the fuel cap and found that the rubber packing on the fuel cap was crooked. Consumer reinstalled the rubber packing on fuel cap and this remedied the problem with the engine light staying on. Consumer did go to the local service dealer and examined a fuel cap for a 2005 suzuki verona and found the same assembly of the fuel cap as for fuel cap. The sales consultant of the dealership witnessed the assembly of the fuel cap.
Dt: consumer had to put a new engine in the car. The check engine light came on before they replaced the engine. The engine light came on 4 times on after they replaced the engine. They replaced some of the sensors. The car was jerking and cutting off every now and then. The consumer noticed the car was riding differently. The ignition has a buzzing sound. They were supposed to fix the tachometer. The air conditioner doesn't work. *ak the drivers side window would continue go down. Smoke was emitting from the exhaust.
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.
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.
While driving the vehicle stalls, and experiences engine failure. There is a recall which explains what is happening with the vehicle. Recall number 04v396000/engine stalling. Please provide any further information. Also, please provide the correct vehicle identification number.
