The contact stated that on multiple occasions after starting the vehicle, the engine was lagging and then revved inadvertently. The contact also stated that while driving at various speeds and coming to a stop at a red light or stop sign, the vehicle stalled and lost motive power on multiple occasions. The vehicle was able to be restarted. Additionally, the contact stated that the driver's seat belt failed to latch, and the front passenger\u2019s side seat belt locked without movement. The check engine, air bag, seat belt, and oil warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the timing chain and lifters needed to be replaced. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the additional failures. The vehicle was then taken to another independent mechanic, where a diagnostic tool retrieved various failure codes for unknown sensors and failure with the engine. The contact made a local dealer aware of the failures and the dealer confirmed there was no related recalls for the VIN. The vehicle was not repaired.

NOTICED EARLY ON THAT THE ENGINE SOUNDED TOO LOUD. WHEN CAR IS HEATED AND UPON ACCELERATION IT GETS LOUDER. THE ENGINE IDLES ROUGH LIKE A DIESEL ENGINE AND AT TIMES KNOCKS. I HAVE MENTIONED TO THE SERVICE DEPT. EVERYTIME I TAKE IT IN FOR OIL CHANGES AND THEY ACT LIKE THEY DON'T HEAR OR KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. I EVEN HAD THE TECH. RIDE AROUND WITH ME SO THAT HE COULD HEAR WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. HE MENTIONED IT COULD BE LIFTERS OR TIMING CHAIN AND WOULD HAVE THE OFFICE CALL TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS. VERY RELUCTANT TO DO ANYTHING. FINALLY IN SEPTEMBER THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. HAD TO BE TOWED HOME. STARTED UP AGAIN THE NEXT DAY. THEN I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE. THE ECM HAS BEEN REPLACED AND NO MORE STALLING SO FAR, BUT THE ENGINE JUST DOES NOT SOUND RIGHT. NO RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER. CURRENTLY CAR ONLY HAS 6,800 MILES ON IT BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS TWENTY YEARS OLD. AGAIN NO RESPONSE FROM DEALER. THEY DON'T SEEM INTERESTED IN TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYONE AND AM SORRY TO SAY THAT I REGRET PURCHASING THE SUZUKI VERONA. *JB","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2004","productMake":"SUZUKI","productModel":"VERONA","manufacturer":"Suzuki Motor USA, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":10096596,"manufacturer":"Suzuki Motor USA, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"10/12/2004","dateComplaintFiled":"10/12/2004","vin":"UNAVAILABLE","components":"POWER TRAIN","summary":"WHEN THE TRANSMISSION CHANGED BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS IT SLOWED DOWN AS IF THE BRAKES WERE BEING APPLIED. *JB","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2004","productMake":"SUZUKI","productModel":"VERONA","manufacturer":"Suzuki Motor USA, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":10095473,"manufacturer":"Suzuki Motor USA, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"06/24/2004","dateComplaintFiled":"10/08/2004","vin":"KL5VM52L64B","components":"FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE","summary":"THE ECM MODULE WAS REPLACED ONCE BEFORE THE RECALL LETTER WAS RECEIVED AND ONCE AFTER.

SINCE THEN I HAVE TAKEN IT IN NUMEROUS TIMES, WHERE I WAS TOLD AT ONE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS \"DESIGNED TO STALL\". NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE. ANYHOW, IT STALLS, EVEN NOW THE WEATHER IS WARMED UP, IT STILL STALLS FROM TIME TO TIME. IT ALSO DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY, I HAD CONTACTED SUZUKI WHO CLAIMED THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK AND NEVER HAVE TO THIS DAY. I HAVE HAD A FUEL PUMP PUT IN, THE HOLD BUTTON NEEDED TO BE FIXED BECAUSE IT DEPRESSED AND WOULDN'T DEPRESS (WHILE I WAS CLEANING VEHICLE). IT HESITATES WHEN DRIVING AT A STEADY PACE AS WELL. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE RECEIVED FROM BOTH THE DEALER AND SUZUKI IS TERRIBLE. WHENEVER I AM APPROACHED IN PUBLIC WHILE TRAVELING AND PEOPLE ASK HOW I LIKE MY SUZUKI AND IT'S WARRANTY, I TELL THEM DON'T BUY IT AND YOU WILL NEED THE WARRANTY. I HAVE NEVER BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR BEFORE. SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VERONA WE HAVE SINCE PURCHASED A 2004 DODGE NEON, WHILE NOT FANCY, IT RUNS GREAT AND THE DEALERSHIP IS AWESOME. I TOLD THEM ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE AT SUZUKI AND TOLD THEM I HOPE THEY WOULD TREAT ME BETTER, SO FAR SO GOOD. THE SUZUKI DEALERSHIP SAID I COULD TRADE THE VERONA IN AND THEY WOULD GIVE ME $16,000 FOR IT, WHILE WE JUST PAID $21,000. GREAT DEAL! THAT WOULD BE LIKE RENTING A CAR FOR 4 MONTHS AT $1,000 PER MONTH. WE DECIDED TO KEEP THE CAR AND KEEP TAKING IT IN WHEN WE HAVE TIME TO DO SO. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT NO ONE PURCHASE THIS CAR UNLESS THEY ARE BORED AND WANT TO DRIVE THEIR MECHANIC AROUND TOWN IN THEIR SPARE TIME.*AK PE04062_CAT","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2004","productMake":"SUZUKI","productModel":"VERONA","manufacturer":"Suzuki Motor USA, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":10066612,"manufacturer":"Suzuki Motor USA, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"10/16/2003","dateComplaintFiled":"03/31/2004","vin":"KL5VM52L54B","components":"AIR BAGS","summary":"A 40 MPH OFFSET FRONTAL CRASH TEST WAS PERFORMED ON A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA AT THE INSTITUTE'S VEHICLE RESEARCH CENTER.
