Problems with 2004 Suzuki Verona FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

2004 suzuki verona ex [xxx]. 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. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

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. *tr

Tl*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). *tr

dt: contact owned a 2004 suzuki verona where the engine light was staying on. consumer took the vehicle to the service dealer about 7-8 times. they replaced the fuel cap, computer, and the oxygen sensor. consumer inspected the fuel cap and found that the rubber packing on the fuel cap was crooked. consumer reinstalled the rubber packing on fuel cap and this remedied the problem with the engine light staying on. consumer did go to the local service dealer and examined a fuel cap for a 2005 suzuki verona and found the same assembly of the fuel cap as for fuel cap. the sales consultant of the dealership witnessed the assembly of the fuel cap. *ak

The rpms will vary from 300 to 600 or more at idle. *jb

Vehicle has been repeatedly stalling since may of 2005 and been in the dealer's shop to be repaired at least four times with no improvement in the defect. vehicle stalls at deacceleration and at idle without warning. this is an extreme safety concern. the suzuki dealer has reprogrammed the fuel system control chip at least two times. suzuki motors america has now told the dealer to try replacing the throttle sensor and the cam sensor. the dealer (wendle suzuki) has been very cooperative, but suzuki is extremely slow to try to solve this problem.

Consumer vehicle was in service for repair on a recall and is deny payment do to a recall. *ts ***nar received 10-13-05*** a loaner vehicle was provided to the consumer while her vehicle was being serviced for recall 04v396000 which was in reference to engine stalling due to improper ecm logic. the consumer received a bill from the rental car agency seeking payment for the rental. the consumer denied any responsibility for this debt as it was suppose to be covered by the dealer. the consumer received this bill over a year after service was rendered. *nm
