My wife was traveling from home when her 2005 suzuki verona just started stalling and it cut off. It cut off without notice or warning. She attempted to restart car and when doing so the car did not start. Then she tried again it started and drove it back home with the airbag light on and service engine light illuminated. I then had the spark plugs replaced and fixed the corroded battery terminal. I drove the car on 10/29/2014 at 2:00am in the morning headed to work and it was just hard to accelerate then it would surge, the rpms would get really high and the car would act as though it wants to cut off! There is a recall on the lights of these vehicles but they haven't had them sent or requested to be fixed. I have read where there is no fixing to these cars and that us owners of these cars are all having the same issue and some have had fatalities. To gm and other manufacturers of these cars, you know these cars need to be recalled and given the full value of the car when purchased or half of it and as the family of fatalities, there needs to be the full value of purchase and funeral burial expenses. My heart goes out to those families who lost love ones and to those who are scared to drive this car and can't really afford another, I would advise against driving it if you can if you must be careful because it can cutoff without warning or notice and cause injury. I don't let my wife drive it anymore because if it had been her injured I would be seeking a lawsuit against suzuki, gm, or whom responsible.

I purchased the 2004 suzuki verona last year from a third party. The engine stalls in the middle of the street. It completely stops. Last year it stopped completely and would not turn on. Luckily no cars were behind me. I had to call the tow truck and fix it. The problem was with the fuel injection. I went online and checked for recall. There were recalls for the engine stall but only for 2004. The corporate office informed me that since it was a 2005 year, they cannot fix the problem. I spent almost $700 and now the problem started arising again last saturday. The engine almost stalled. I called the corporate office again and after giving my VIN # they said that no recall have been listed with that VIN number. They even said that here were no other recall for that year and make which I know is not true. I called the national highway people and they said that there are 2 recall for that year and make but the corporate office tells me that there is none. I would be happy if you could give me some information on the recall for that VIN number. My reference number is [xxx].
