oh I am sorry, but I no longer have the 04 Verona anymore. I obtained a lawyer, and well car was returned to dealer. I didnt waste no time, and got rid of the car. I filed lemon law case in Jan,07 and I pulled up the court case, and it shows that the case was dismissed is a matter of fact 6/20/07. I guess since we settled before court date. I acted quick on my part to get this over with. Well of course lawyers can and will drag if one lets them. I waited to hear from lawyers about a court date. Finally, close to date I finally let the lawyer know that I aint no fool, and I pulled up court date on website. I was going to be there with bells on, and only bells on. Next thing you know court day was moved from april to july. So Suzuki didnt even bother putting up a fight. Just thought I let u know.

The sensors were called "faulty" around 17,000 miles during stalling. The term "fouling" came about at 40k miles due to no starts. The stalling issues, I would imagine, were probably caused by fouling not faulty sensors.
 
Prior symptoms to the no start are: 1) engine light constantly coming on and spitting out codes 2) rough idling 3) engine sputtering during operation and at idle 4) engine stalling during operation and at idle 5) many, many trips to the service department within 11 months.
 
In regards to Suzuki assurances for me, Suzuki extended my warranty related to my issues and have ordered work and parts with no cost to me after the 36k mile mark. In regards to Suzuki assurances to anyone else--there is none whatsoever. That was my caveat in my original titled posting. I called Suzuki to get them involved and I rode the dealership's service department to investigate further. You can do the same but there is no assurance your result will be the same as mine. And, remember, I titled this subject as "Possible Cause of Engine Stalling", the key word here is "possible". Although it seems we all have the same engine issues keep in mind that the solution could be different.
 
Yes, I'll keep you posted when I get my car back soon.

Haven't posted in quite some time to try and keep my mind of the horror of the Verona. For the last 2 years it's been in the shop about 20 times. Stalling, check engine light, engine noise, ROUGH idle, and I could go on and on. The dealer could only reset the check engine light and tell me the same thing over and over and over again. (random misfire). There is nothing wrong with your car, it drove like a dream. WHATEVER! I called the Mfg. and told them it was a safety defect and if I got hit in the rear when it stalled I would sue. The man at Suzuki in California assured me the factory would have someone look at the car the next week, which NEVER HAPPENED, and he refused to call me back anymore. The car is a Verona LX 2004, with a measly 38000 miles on it. Immaculate condition, won't run. Saturday morning was the straw that broke the camels back. Started car, check engine light flashing and then On. Car idling like crap, and died when I hit the A/C. I unplugged 2 fuses to reset the check engine light and traded her in for a 2007 Hyundai Sonata. I am tired of the trouble and tired of Suzuki, they Could care less. Never, ever give them any of your hard earned money! I would not dream of trading for another Suzuki or GM product. Wish me Luck with the Hyundai! I hope only the best for everyone else here. I was lucky that I had paid cash for the Verona and got 9000.00 trade in, leaving me 10,000.00 to pay on the Sonata. It's a V6 and has lots more power than the Verona. I paid an additional 2000.00 down and financed only 8000.00 at 5.75 percent. The payments are a paltry 153.00 per month for 5 years. Good Luck again all. One thing to note, the Sonata isn't as pretty as the Verona, but hopefully will be a better car.

I apologize, I misunderstood the part about assurances. We'll apparently there are none in that regards because I got the car back and it still rough idles. But hey, I got shiny new parts under the hood and the dealership owner can now fly with both his mistress and his wife to Bora Bora for a fun-filled, sun-filled vacation.
 
Joking aside, I wouldn't necessarily say the car was fixed it was just put back to it's pre-engine light phase, I'm sure the stalling will be coming back soon. I just hope to God that I'll be driving a non-Suzuki automobile by then.
 
It's sad and laughable at the same time that Suzuki would knowingly pay more than double the car's worth in warranty bills rather than buy it back. And then extend the warranty to throw even more money at the problem while failing miserably to correct the problem. Even Yugo and Daewoo weren't that stupid.
