| 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. *tr | |||

| Complaint no. 1 the fuel line of my 2004 suzuki verona became disconnected, causing me to lose power while i was driving and causing fuel to spill on the roadway. the problem was allegedly fixed by franklin square suzuki. however, a few months later, the fuel line again became disconnected causing me to lose power while driving and causing fuel to be spilled on the roadway. the problem was fixed by malmstrom suzuki. complaint no. 2. the brake pedal switch has become inoperable six or seven times. when the switch becomes inoperable, the brake lights are not activated when i depress the brake pedal. in addition, the transmission lever cannot be released from park unless i use the keyhole override. the problem has been repaired each time (occasionally after a few visits), but nevertheless, has occurred way too many times, even after suzuki supposedly came up with a fix fro the problem by redesigning the brake pedal switch. the most recent date is indicated below.*jb | |||
