TRY TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THERE IS NO ACCELERATION FOR AT LEAST 3 SECONDS- THE CAR WILL THEN BUCK AND GO- VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO GET OUT OF A BLOCK OR DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. MECHANIC HAS IT AGAIN- CODES THAT COME UP MEAN NOTHING. PLEASE HELP- IT;S MY DAUGHTER'S CAR AND SHE IS ONLY 17 GOING TO DRIVE TO COLLEGE WHICH IS 40 MILES AWAY ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

BOUGHT THIS HORRIBLE CAR FOR $4,300 OF FINANCIAL AID MONEY WITH "AS IS, NO WARRANTY". OWNER SAID HE'D FIX THE PROBLEM BUT DID NOT EVEN THOUGH HE'S NOT OBLIGED TO, BUT HE WENT AGAINST HIS WORDS FOR FIXING THE CAR. HE SAID HIS MECHANIC WILL BUY THE NEW HOSE FOR THE ENGINE WHICH HE DID, BUT DID NOT PUT IN A FILTER AS SAID. THEN THEY DID NOT FIX THE OXYGEN SENSOR OR PUT ON NEW BRAKE PADS OR ROTORS AS SAID. THE BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE SEVERELY DAMAGE, AND THE OXYGEN SENSOR IS BUSTED. THE COOLANT & ANTI-FREEZE TUBE BURST, THE LEFT BLINKER BLINKS REALLY FAST, THE SMOG LIGHT BUTTON DOESN'T WORK, THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS OFF. IT IS JUST A TERRIBLE CAR I HAVE BOUGHT WRONGLY. *TR

THIS IS MY SISTERS CAR AND HAS BEEN GETTING STEADILY WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. WHEN SHE FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR, 6 MONTHS AGO, IT WAS A SLIGHT HESITATION. WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE RANGE SENSOR. THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. NEITHER DID NEW PLUGS, NOR PATCHING SOME VACUUM LEAKS, CLEANING MAF SENSOR. SUDDEN, BARELY CONTROLLABLE SPEED CHANGES, SHIFTING OUT OF SEQUENCE AND HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP. I FEEL, AFTER ALL THESE TESTIMONIALS, THAT GM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. AFTER ALL, THE DOOR TAG SAYS THAT IT'S A GM DAEWOO VEHICLE. JUST BECAUSE IT HAS A SUZUKI GRILLE, DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. ALL OF THESE CARS NEED TO BE SCRAPPED AND THE OWNERS PROPERLY COMPENSATED.. *TR

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! *TR

MY TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH WENT OUT ON MY CAR AND LEFT MYSELF, MY DISABLED MOTHER, MY 10MO SON, AND MY 12MO NEPHEW STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY FOR OVER AN HOUR IN 103 DEGREE WEATHER. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SUZUKIS AND EVERYONE ON THE FORUMS IS REQUESTING THAT THIS DEFECTIVE PART BE CONSIDERED A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL SPORADICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE FAILURE, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL.

I AM HAVING SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH MY LIFTERS WHERE THERE IS A CONTINUOUS RATTLING SOUND, AS WELL AS A CONTINUOUS TAPPING SOUND. I WAS NEVER INFORMED WHEN I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW IN NOVEMBER 2004 THAT THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AS I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION. *TT
