I BOUGHT A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA 4 DOOR SEDAN, IN OCTOBER 2003. SINCE THEN I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES, THEY KEEP SENDING ME AWAY WITHOUT FIXING IT, THEY SAY WHEN THE CAR STALLS THATS THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED. AND ALL THE CARS I HAVE OWNED IN THE PAST I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THEM BEING DESIGNED TO STALL!! IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY, THE CAR STALLS MISS FIRES WHEN COLD, IT DOESN'T SHIFT RIGHT, THE SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT IT WAS MY DRIVING (BULL)! THE MECHANIC SUPPOSED TO FIX THE CLOCK THREE TIMES AND STILL DOESN'T WORK, THE HEATED SEATS DON'T WORK PROPERLY, THE CIGERETTE LITER DOESN'T WORK, THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUSE BUT THE FUSES ARE GOOD. I AM EXTREMELY UNHAPPY WITH THE PROFORMANCE OF THIS CAR, THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT NOBODY ELSE HAS HAD ANY COMPLAINTS, THAT MINE IS THE FIRST.THERE NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING DONE BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT OR EVEN KILLED, ESPECIALLY TODAY WHEN I TRIED TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND IT DIDN'T WONT TO ACCELERATE IT STARTED TO GO AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE, AFTER I PROCEEDED TO GO IT WOULDN'T DO NOTHING ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET HIT BY AN ON COMING CAR, THAT WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN!!! DISGUSTED IN SOUTH CAROLINA!!! I WOULD NOT RECCOMEND A SUZUKI TO ANYONE, THEY ARE ALL JUNK. *LA PE04062_CAT

I WAS GOING OUT OF TOWN ON JUNE 25, 2004. I TOOK THE CAR TO GET SERVICE ON JUNE 23,2004, AND TO FOUND OUT WHAT WAS THAT CLACKING, AND CLICKING NOISE I WAS HEARING. AFTER THE MECHANIC TOOK A LOOK AT THE CAR HE TOLD ME HE COULD HEAR IT TO, AND THAT THE BALL BEARING NEEDED WORK HE SAID HE DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS IN AT THE TIME AND WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THEM, AND THAT IT WOULD BE IN TOMORROW. I WAS THEN TOLD HE NEEDED THE PROPER TOOLS TO WORK ON IT BUT IF I COULD BRING IT IN THAT FOLLOWING MONDAY HE WOULD THEN HAVE EVERYTHING HE NEEDED. I INFORMED HIM I WAS GOING OUT OF TOWN THAT FRIDAY, AND NEEDED BY THEN. HE TOLD ME HE DID NOT SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH ME DRIVING THE CAR OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE I HAD BEEN DRIVING IT, AND THAT IT WOULD BE FIND. ON OUR WAY TO SC THE CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL. IT START ZIG ZAGING FROM ONE LANE TO THE NEXT. IT THEN FLIP OVER THREE TIMES ON LEVEL GOUND, AND LANDED ON THE TOP THE WHOLE FRONT AXEL FROM WHEEL ON DOWN WAS MISSING FROM THE CAR.

MY CAR HAS 25,000 MILES ON IT, WENT TO GET NEW TIRES PUT ON FOR THE FIRST TIME TO FIND OUT THAT 2 OF MY RIMS WERE CRACKED AND BENT. I DON'T DRIVE FAR OR ON BAD ROADS FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.*AK

INTERMITTENTLY THE VEHICLE WOULD RAPIDLY ACCELERATE. THE CONSUMER HAD TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION SWITCH TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR 1 DAY, HOWEVER THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *JB *NM

INNER FRONT BRAKE PADS FELL OUT OF THE BRAKE CALIPERS CAUSING THE CALIPER PISTON TO DIRECTLY CONTACT THE BRAKE ROTOR. THIS WORE DOWN THE ROTOR AND CALIPER PISTON CAUSING BOTH TO REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. THIS ALSO CAUSED BRAKING TO BE GREATLY REDUCED. *JB
