Problems with 2004 Suzuki Verona VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

This is my sisters car and has been getting steadily worse as time goes on. when she first purchased the car, 6 months ago, it was a slight hesitation. we thought it was the range sensor. that didn't solve the problem. neither did new plugs, nor patching some vacuum leaks, cleaning maf sensor. sudden, barely controllable speed changes, shifting out of sequence and hesitation when accelerating. this vehicle is a death trap. i feel, after all these testimonials, that gm should be held responsible. after all, the door tag says that it's a gm daewoo vehicle. just because it has a suzuki grille, doesn't mean anything. all of these cars need to be scrapped and the owners properly compensated.. *tr

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!!! *jb

I am the owner of a 2004 suzuki verona. within 2 weeks of purchase this car has been in the shop up to at least 20 times. check engine light goes on and off every other day or so. that really did not bother me so much. last winter the car decided to not accept fuel. they fixed the problem after about 2 weeks. for the last 4 or more months this car stalls, it surges, it accelerates above 3000 rpm at stop lights, it almost or does die at intersections, it just decides to not go 60 and slows you down to 40 like the brakes have come on. i carry around my 4 year old everyday in this car i work 60 miles from my home. everyday i do not know what this car will do and it scares me that my son and i will be in an accident or how will it be like on ice and snow this winter. this car takes a big chunk of my paycheck and i feel it would be better if i didn't drive this car. suzuki this car is a joke never again would i ever buy another suzuki anything. i believe this calls for some action on all these people in this situation. make it right suzuki. *jb
