I should have done my homework before purchasing this vehicle. I bought it from dealership, and feel finding out more , why are these cars aloud to still be sold. I have had nothing but problems since day one with accelerating. Constantly stalling and bucking. I read how thus has been an issue with this type of car since day 1. The dealership would only do one minor repair and refused to help with anything else, as it was sold as is. I had a mechanic hook it up and found 12 transmission codes!!!! I am a single mother or 2/children and fear for our safety every time we get in this car. I so wish I never purchased this vehicle. But now its too late, I still owe money and can't afford another vehicle. Just wondering , I haven't seen any, but were there or are there any recalls for this problem? Just frustrated.

Initially car had minor electrical issues, I.e. Clock would not work, problems with passenger side power windows. Right wheel hub assembly had to be replaced. Check engine light, surging and stalling at idle, upon filling gas tank, it would stop every gallon of gas put in, faulty intake manifold gasket had to be replaced. New spark plugs, air filter, clogged throttle body. Car now stalls/dies at idle when first starting up, outside temp gauge works intermittently, car suddenly loses power at intersections, loses power when making turns, jerks while driving at low speeds, feels like breaks are being applied driving downhill at highway speeds, air conditioner causes rpms to go below 750 and surge. These cars are a death trap on wheels and need to be fixed or replaced at no cost to the owner before someone gets killed!

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.

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.
