PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. BRAKES WOULD SHUDDER, MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND VIBRATED. HAD TO PUMP THEM TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. COLEMAN DEALERSHIP (LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ 08648) CLAIMED IT WAS DUE TO WARPED ROTORS. REPLACED ROTORS BRAKE PADS AND FLUSHED BRAKE SYSTEM. PROBLEM RECURRED IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP. RETURNED CAR TO DEALERSHIP ON 6/08/2010. DEALERSHIP STATED THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A BROKEN SENSOR. DEALERSHIP REPLACED SENSOR UNDER WARRANTY, BUT PROBLEM WITH SENSOR RECURRED AFTER 10 MONTHS AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DO NOT WORK. WAS TOLD THE BRAKE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A BROKEN SENSOR AGAIN. CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ALSO, AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON CONTINUOUSLY (TOLD THIS WOULD NOT AFFECT AIR BAG PERFORMANCE) BUT THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

AND I DIDN'T FEEL THAT WAS RIGHT BECAUSE IT WAS AN ISSUE THAT THEY HAD ALREADY FIXED. *TR

TRANSMISSION HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED 3 TIMES IN 2005 SUZUKI VERONA. INITIAL PROBLEM STARTED 1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASE (NEW), BUT DEALERSHIP MANAGED TO REPLACE SEVERAL OTHER PARTS FIRST AND FINALLY CONSENTED TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE DATE. 2ND REPLACEMENT WAS EXACTLY 4 YEARS LATER AT 68,000 MILES. AFTER TRANSMISSION REPLACED, COULD HEAR STRANGE SOUND FROM UNDER HOOD AND TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP. DEALER SAID IT WAS "TIRE NOISE". ONE WEEK LATER WE ARE NOW GETTING A THIRD TRANSMISSION. CAR STARTS TO "HICCUP" AND ONCE JARRED HARD ENOUGH TO LOCK SEAT BELTS. DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED PARTS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT HAS NOT ADDRESSED CONTINUING PROBLEMS SUCH AS SHUDDERING BREAKS, AIR BAG LIGHT THAT STAYS ON CONTINUOUSLY (TOLD THIS WOULD NOT AFFECT AIR BAG PERFORMANCE), PEELING PAINT OR HUB CAPS THAT KEEP POPPING OFF. *TR

MY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A MONTH AFTER I GOT THE CAR IN 2007. THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP PAID FOR IT TO BE REPLACED. IN 2008 MY CAR DID THE SAME THING AND THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. NOW, MY CAR IS COMING UP WITH THE SAME CODE AGAIN. THIS IS KEEPING ME FROM GETTING MY CAR INSPECTED. *TR
