At speeds of 65-75 MPH on the highway after about 15 minutes slowing down to get off the highway, the engine is loud and sounds like a diesel engine. Sounds like top end rocker arm knocking, I took it to the dealer and they said that they could not take the car over 55mph. I told them it only does it between 65-75 whicj is the speed limit on the highways south of the car dealer. They only took it at 55mph and did not hear it.

Purchased suzuki verona in april, 2004. Noticed early on that the engine sounded too loud. When car is heated and upon acceleration it gets louder. The engine idles rough like a diesel engine and at times knocks. I have mentioned to the service dept. Everytime I take it in for oil changes and they act like they don't hear or know what I am talking about. I even had the tech. Ride around with me so that he could hear what I was talking about. He mentioned it could be lifters or timing chain and would have the office call to see if there were any recalls. Very reluctant to do anything. Finally in september the car stalled in the middle of the street. Had to be towed home. Started up again the next day. Then I received the recall notice. The ECM has been replaced and no more stalling so far, but the engine just does not sound right. No response from the dealer. Currently car only has 6,800 miles on it but it sounds like it is twenty years old. Again no response from dealer. They don't seem interested in trying to fix the problem. I will not recommend this car to anyone and am sorry to say that I regret purchasing the suzuki verona.

I bought my suzuki verona jan 2004 and had problems from the first week. The radio would not work because they couldn't find the code so they had to take it out to reprogram, the car would not go forward when I hit the gas pedal, the transmission would jerk, then worst of all it would just cut off whether sitting still or in motion. In that six month period, I had to drive 6 loaner vehicles. People began to ask me if I owned a car lot because I was always in a different car! ;o)so I filed a lemon law claim and after 6 months I got a brand new verona. But the story doesn't end there because after 1 month and a half of my new verona replacement, it cut off on me while I was driving down the street. Same problem as my first verona. The thing that got me during my first ordeal was the fact that suzuki did not believe me which is why I had to go file a claim. But now, from what I have been told this time around, my car along with 3 other veronas are now sitting in the shop waiting for suzuki to come and fix them. So I am in loaner car number 7. Good luck to you all who have not experience any problems. But if you do, don't let them fool you. I am a witness that this car has major problems. *ak pe04062_cat
