general problems of the 2004 Suzuki Verona

2004 Suzuki Verona ex kl5vm52lx4b100752. I purchased my 2004 Verona from car max in austin, TX. I have been experiencing intermittent stalling, poor acceleration and jerking acceleration. There is no exact moment when this happens but it is becoming a serious concern within the past month as it has become more frequent. I used to happen a couple of times within the first month but has increased frequency to at least once to twice a day in the past 30 days. I purchased this car, used, and have only had it for 3 months. I took it to the Suzuki dealership for an oil change and consulted with the service manager and was told since the engine light does not come on there is no error in the computer and can not be fixed. He said that repairs for this old of a car would cost more to try and find the error than its worth. Cleo bay Suzuki 3620 east whitestone boulevard cedar park, TX 78613 (512) 259-6600.

When driving at slow speeds the engine stalls. Most recently this happened during stop and go driving at about 7 mph. When accelerating out of a stop the car jerks and lunges forward. When driving at highway speeds the car runs rough. When accelerating to higher speeds the car hesitates and jerks. Customer has taken car into 4 different mechanics for these problems - most recently to the dealer who was unable to duplicate the stalling. Various attempts have been made to fix the rough running (spark plugs, alignment correction), but the problem persists.

The contact owns a 2004 Suzuki Verona. The contact stated that when he engaged the accelerator pedal occasionally the vehicle would hesitate. The vehicle does not stall; however, the delay nearly caused a crash to occur. The dealer stated that the contacts VIN was not a part of the recall for the fuel system which could cause the vehicle to stall; although, the electronic control module caused the failure to occur. The VIN was not available when the complaint was filed. The failure mileage was 76000 and the current mileage was 93000.

Periodic low idle miss occurred first for the last several months, occasionally, the check engine light would come on with it for a very short time. Now, the engine stalls out at traffic stops. Have recently been experiencing a forward surge upon pressing on the gas feed from a stop or low speed. I feel that my safety is at risk, I am afraid to make a left turn for fear the car will stop in front of oncoming traffic, be rear ended, or I could surge forward into another vehicle or pedestrian. I do not get any type of warning that this about to occur (the check engine light does not come on typically, and if it does come on occasionally with this problem, it does not light up until after the surge or power failure occurs. I am contacting the local dealership (52 miles away is the closest one).
