SUZUKI Complaints

2004 SUZUKI VERONA--- (1.) JANUARY 07, 2005- 7:00AM- ENGINE STALLED AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE VEHICLE TO FERMAN SUZUKI DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED IN APPROXIMATELY 30-45 MINS. (2.) JANUARY. 24, 2005- 4:45PM - ENGINE STALLED AGAIN AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. (2ND TIME IN 2 WEEKS.) DEALER WAS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME TODAY TO ADVISE WHEN I COULD BRING IT IN. (I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM AS YET.) WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN YESTERDAY, THEY SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY APPTS. FOR A WEEK. ALSO, THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER CAR. I DROVE CAR FROM THE LOT. (3.) SALESMAN, PAUL MORRIS ADVISED ME AND MY FRIEND THAT THIS HAPPENED TO ANOTHER CUSTOMER. HER ENGINE FELL OUT OF HER CAR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. PER PAUL, SUZUKI PAID OFF HER LOAN AND REPLACED THE VEHICLE. (4.) I ADVISED PAUL AND THE SERVICE MAN THAT THIS SOUNDS LIKE A "LEMON LAW" SITUATION BREWING HERE. ALSO, SINCE THEY KNOW THAT THIS HAPPENED BEFORE, THEY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE SHOP AND GIVEN ME A LOANER CAR. (5.) I CONTACTED THE NHTSA AND WAS ADVISED OF THE RECALL FOR THE ENGINE STALLING ON THE SUZUKI VERONA. I WAS ADVISED TO ENTER A COMPLAINT ON THEIR WEB-SITE. *NM
