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.
The contact owns a 2004 Suzuki Verona. While driving approximately 25 mph on normal road conditions, the vehicle began to surge forward and pulsate when the accelerator and brake pedals were depressed. Also, the rpm's increased excessively. The contact observed that whenever the air conditioning unit and cruise control were activated, the failures worsened. The engine warning indicator intermittently illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on four occasions. They stated that the failure was related to the throttle body and made the repair. The failure mileage was 37,989 and current mileage was 49,000.
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!!!.
Incidents have occurred where the car surges and/or stalls while in operation. When using cruise control the car surges. If driving in the city the car stalls out in traffic. The dealership has replaced the ecm unit but the car still does not operate correctly. Readings on the engine are not to manufactures standards both before and after replacement of ecm. The dealership is still working on the car per the date of this complaint. The car has been in the dealership five times over the last two to three months, each time for a week or more. The technician has indicated he is looking at a warm up problem now since he has replaced the ecm.
