general problems of the 2004 Suzuki Verona

I should have done my homework before purchasing this vehicle. I bought it from dealership, and feel finding out more , why are these cars aloud to still be sold. I have had nothing but problems since day one with accelerating. Constantly stalling and bucking. I read how thus has been an issue with this type of car since day 1. The dealership would only do one minor repair and refused to help with anything else, as it was sold as is. I had a mechanic hook it up and found 12 transmission codes!!!! I am a single mother or 2/children and fear for our safety every time we get in this car. I so wish I never purchased this vehicle. But now its too late, I still owe money and can't afford another vehicle. Just wondering , I haven't seen any, but were there or are there any recalls for this problem? just frustrated.
