The seat belts in the back seat will not work properly. I have 2 out of the 3 to lock up and not work. I have a 4yr old and now she must ride by the door due to the malfunction of the other two seatbelts. I have had so much trouble out of this car and it was bought new. It surges and has almost got me and my child killed. I had it in the shop for over a month and still have issues. They say it doesn't happen when they drive it. Like it is in my head. I don't recommend suzuki to anyone!

I purchased a new 2004 suzuki verona in dec of 2004. I have a 6 year old who by law must be in a belt positioning booster seat in the rear seat. This vehicle is completely incompatible with every booster seat on the market. The rear "seat bite" is too narrow and the seat belt (receiving end) is too short. I brought this serious problem to the attention of the dealership (huntington kia/suzuki on long island, ny)they were of absolutely no assistance. In fact their advice was completely contrary to all manufacurer's instructions. I then contacted suzuki corp. And was told there was no remedy to my problem. They do not manufacture seat belt extenders for the rear seat belts (which may or may not be a solution???) I have sent a complaint to the ntsb who referred me to the federal safety agency this is my 2nd correspondance with you.
