Replying to: rainman357 (Apr 15, 2008 8:34 am) Although I no longer have that piece of appliance called the Verona, I can honestly say I felt your pain rainman!! I had to check back on this forum to see if Suzuki remedied the stalling issue and, sadly, I see they haven't. And being that Verona has been obsolete for 2 years now I would be shocked if someone in corporate is actually worried about it. I agree with everything you said except for two points. One, no matter who designed this car (GM, Daewoo, GMDAT, etc.) Suzuki has the sole responsibility of finding a resolution. As I said before, you can blame other manufacturers all you want but it's Suzuki's emblem on the front grill. And two, the 'ethanol theory' has been proven not to be the cause of the engine problems (also, the ' bad O2 sensor theory', the 'bad header theory', the 'bad ECM theory', etc. etc. have also been debunked). All those issues were checked both by the dealership and the corporate Suzuki district manager and deemed not to be the cause from my personal experience and others. The fact that they did not know the cause and were willing to blow over $20k in parts, labor and rental cars rather than buy back the car was what reinforced me to get a "lemon-law" lawyer.......and I detest lawyers but I had the car a year with 13 times in the shop. It's up to you to choose your next course of action but you must be feeling that, presently, Suzuki is just "pacifying" you without fixing the actual problem and leaving you with that uneasy feeling that eventually they're going to label the problem "out of warranty" thereby making you pay for all future repairs. Just to let you know, your present course of action in trying to get everyone on-board for a class action suit or complaint hasn't been successful in the past; it not from a lack of effort, it's just that there aren't that many Veronas that were made, let alone sold, to show up as a blip on anyone's radar screen. And you compound that with current owners who are not having problems with their Veronas, the disgruntled owners become fewer. The only advice I can give is to get the Suzuki district manager involved first; seondly, check your State's lemon laws, some States state that the auto manufacturer pays for the lawyer fees when you win the judgement. If litigation looks promising remember that Suzuki will no longer contact you directly once lawyers get involved. From the few people that have done this (including me) Suzuki usually (not always) buys the car back before any litigation was set to appear in court. All it took was a letter from a lawyer with statement of intent of litigation. Oh, and one more thing, make sure you have all the copies of the work done on your car, if not request tell the dealership you want back copies!! Good luck!

Replying to: grounded (May 03, 2008 11:32 am) grounded They are replacing the engine in my Verona right now but I've been thinking about contacting the home office to see what can be done. Do I have to get a lawyer to get them to purchase my car back, or can I just contact Suzuki and tell them this is what I want them to do?

hey verona owners i have the same experience like every owners have the engine ligts on,but guess what,i solve that problem al ready how?i tok my verona to my mechanic and he told me if i put gas whit the engine on,and i told him yes,and he told me thats the reason the engine ligts is on ,and he shut the engine ligt off whit hes computer.and guess what he was rigth,every time i go to the gas station i turn the engine off before i put gas on my verona,and the engine ligth never come on any more,oh and he told me thats the reason the oxigen sensor go bad when you put gas when the engine is on, that many verona owners have that problem.another thing i notice when i star my verona in the mornig the car make a noise like nocking in the engine head and like 3 minutes later when the car get warm the noise go away , my opinion i think that the oil take to long to lubricated the whole engine,so i dont recomend to run the verona when is cold is better to whait in to the car get warm, thats maybe the reason that many verona owners complaint that they have to replace the engine head in their verona maybe they run the car cold .my verona have 78000mil,and no major problem yet,this is my experience,and it work on my verona, good luck verona owners.willy11206aol.com

Replying to: mackdrvr54 (May 26, 2008 7:16 pm) mackdrvr54 I am new at this so please forgive me. What was wrong with your engine that the dealer was replacing it? The reason that I ask is because we have an 04 with 104,000 miles on it, we have given it all the oil changes when they were supposed to be done we had a tune up when it was needed as well. We were just told by the dealer that my 5th and 6th cylinders are misfiring and that they need to be replaced. They have told us for them to do the work it will be very expensive. The car isn't worth as much as they want to charge and we still owe on it. We haven't had all the problems that other people have had with the engine but we have had some other crazy stuff. If you can inlighten me I would really appreciate it. Replies to this message: vultu69 (Jun 27, 2008 9:58 am) mickeysgal (Jun 27, 2008 8:08 pm) 650spx (Sep 16, 2008 6:25 pm) and 2 more...
