Replying to: carrino (Jan 11, 2006 6:27 am) I said they should of dumped this trouble probe powertrain a long time ago. The motor they now have, all though sophisticated, can't be managed by the ECM. |

Two years ago I purchased an 04 Verona. I loved it.  However, the past two months have been dreadful for it began showing its citrus side.  The problems were internal and could not be found. Sadly, with less than 10K miles on it, I had to trade it in  I truly believe it was just one of those things that could have and probably has happened to any car. Therefore, I decided to give it one more try with an 05 Verona. I do not have any regrets about my purchase. I loved my 04 and I'm sure I'll love my 05 just as much if not more.  Happy motoring!

Replying to: alienpath (Jan 11, 2006 9:26 pm) When you look at the number of other cars sold- Camry, Ford 500, Chevrolet Malibu, etc and the number of problems they have, the Verona has had more than it's share based on the volume sold. The Verona has been a very slow selling car with less than 12,000 units sold in '04. To have internal problems and turn-around and buy another one to me is being very optimistic-at best!

I thought I wouldn't be reporting this for a long time, but my MIL light came on suddenly this week. Mileage is about 10,750. Code is a P0456, evaporative system small leak. It came on after 30 miles of driving, at a stop light (that is the time when the ECM typically performs the test). Dealer would like to have the car for the entire day, because small leaks may be difficult to diagnose / locate. Also checked the air filter myself, and one of those very cheap plastic clips cracked upon reassembly. Part is not in stock, available from Suzuki in a few days. Does anyone else have these issues?

Replying to: mm9351 (Jan 21, 2006 9:22 am) The evaporative system leaks usually just take one days worth of searching to find if they are not the common areas. You didn't by chance just fill up with gas? |

I’ve been a lurker on this board almost since its inception. In fact, the initial reactions to the Verona influenced, in part, my decision to buy a 2004 EX. After 17 months of repeated service trips to the dealer, I finally traded the Verona with 17,000 on the odometer. The problems included erratic outside temp reading, erratic fuel gauge readings, broken window regulator, replaced interior door panel, replaced two leather seat covers. A CD player going to the beginning of the track if the car was shut off (made books on CD a real joy!). A transmission that surged between 50 and 60 miles per hour, particularly when coming off of throttle. The climate control that seemed to only work the air conditioning (for heat you had to set the temp to 85 degrees). Steering wheel radio controls that would intermittently "Mute" the radio. Even after reflashing, numerous CELs that kept coming back and service never explained. And I could go on. The last service visit was the final straw. After having the car for over two weeks, service informed me they had replaced the cats, the spark plugs were oil soaked, and they found oil in the throttle body. Of course, no explanation. I get into the car and the brake pedal goes almost to the floor and solenoid that releases the gear shift lever is making a thumping noise as the foot brake is applied. Left the car in service and traded for a Subaru Legacy GT. Sadly, the Verona was a great idea, but poorly executed and supported. Best to all those that got good ones. |

Replying to: jdp3253 (Jan 27, 2006 2:54 pm) BTW, my local Suzuki dealer also sells Subaru's and I was admiring one yesterday...they seemed a little pricy...over $37K? Didn't examine too closely. Good luck with your new Legacy, let us know how you like it.

Replying to: chuck1 (Jan 12, 2006 8:43 am)  My second attempt at Verona ownership has also turned sour. While on a flat stretch of highway, my cruise ran away from me, climbing ten miles an hour before I finally shut it down by tapping the brakes. This happened a few days after my fuel filler door release broke. |
