I am going to list the problems that I have with my 04 suzuki verona ex. 1. Turn signals do not cancel out (usually while turning left) 2. Steering wheel audio controls, volume acts like a mute, seal acts like mode, mode turns off radio and the cd player sticks. 3. Heated seats turn on and off by itself. You need to push the button a few times before it will activate. 4. Cruise control will disengage by itself (this is intermittent) 5. Head lights burn out about every 3 - 4 months. 6. One ABS sensor went out around 30k miles and the second went out about 80k miles. 7. Right now I have cylinders 5 & 6 that are misfiring on the vehicle that need to be replaced. The amount to fix this problem is more then my car is worth. We are 3k miles over warranty and so far suzuki will not help.

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.

2005 suzuki verona driver and passenger side airbag warning light illuminated continuously. Mechanic was never able to repair problem. Vehicle made noise while applying brakes, and cruise control did not work. *kb the air bag malfunction was due to a loose connection, and the cruise control malfunction was due to a problem with the brake light switch. The problem with the air bag light resurfaced again, and the dealer stated the problem was the front seat harness. The third time the air bag light illuminated, the consumer was told it was the air bag assembly. The brake noise was due to warped rotors.

I have a 2004 suzuki verona lx that from the day I bought it the cruise control wanders or surges. It is getting worse with age. It will very as much as 10 MPH back and forth, back and forth until you turn it off. I have had several close calls at being rear ended when it slows down suddenly. I have had it to 4 different dealers and they all tell me the same thing. This is the way it is supposed to work. They tell me it was fixed in the 2005 & 2006 models. Then why can't they retrofit the 2004's. This is a terrible safety hazard that is getting worse as the vehicle gets older. It has 20000 miles on it now, what will happen when it has 50000? Quit running totally!!!

As I exited a freeway, I braked to disengage the cruise control and started slowing down. The car acted as though it was auto-braking to slow down as if going down a steep hill several times very severely and came to a complete stop. It would not go forward or in reverse until I turned off the cruise control and the engine and restarted it. On two other occasions, the car would not move after stopping to enter a ferry and with my wife attempting to leave a parking lot.

My verona hesitates badly when cold and continues although not as bad after warming up. Also it idles very roughly(misfires) when first started. The cruise control surges extremely bad when used.contacted dealer, and was supposed to get a call back in an hour, that was 1 week ago.this car only has 600 miles on it now.
