Have you tried contacting the corporate office to see if they are willing to help? We haven't yet either (we are trying to figure out what our next step is) but I think that an engine on a car should last more then 120K. Or in my case more then 104K. DId you keep up on your regular maintenance? I wonder how many more people are out there in our same situation.

wow i was checking your post about your 04 verona and two cilynders are bad, my question is how the car fell whit two bad cilynder,the engine make noise,my 04 verona make a nocking noise but only when is cold when is warm the noise go away,the suzuki company cant do nothing to help you i check that your power train waranty expired you have 104.000 mil. if that cilynder replacement is so expensive in the suzuki dealer why you dont take your car to a regular mechanic to check how much would charge you,buy the cilynder from the dealer and let the regular mechanic doit for you, make sure is a good mechanic and find out how much is the labor before you buy the cylinder,i understand labor is very expensive at the dealer . good luck

I am not sure how the cylinders went bad on the car. Like I said before an engine should last longer then 104K. I understand that it isn't under warantee but give me a break. We are looking into other mechanic shops that we trust to see what their proce might be, but I am still going to contact Suzuki. One of my previous cars had 198K before I got rid of it and I never had engine trouble. And that car cost 10K less brand new. From what I hear this is a common thing among Suzuki engines and I think that something needs to be done. I am not asking that they buy my car back or pay it off, but I think that they are aware of this problem and need to rectify the situations. About your problem I have no idea. We never had any knocking noise in the engine.

Passenger air filter by marvinlee1

How does one remove the passenger compartment air filter cover? Owner's manual's instructions on pages 20 and 21 do not suffice. Peeling back the hood weatherstrip per the page 3-20 instruction is easy. But then one must remove the three clips holding the panel in place (page 3.21). Each clip has a plastic washer-appearing fitting abut a half-inch diameter that appears to be snapped into place with no easy way to remove. In the center of each round clip is a plastic screw-head appearing fitting with what appears to be a Phillips screwdriver slot. However, turning the plastic screw head--if that is what it is--does nothing. The screw head just spins. I tried on all three slotted center fittings and all reacted the same way.

You're on the right track. While you are "unscrewing" the phillips head screw, you need to be pulling it out of the surrounding plastic fitting at the same time. Use a fingernail. or something slim to get behind it while unscrewing. It should come out a certain amount, and then stop. It should remain part of the fitting.
     When the screw head is out as far as it will go, the space it previously occupied will be empty, allowing you to squeeze the plastic walls of the fitting in, and then pull the whole fitting out.
     It works sort of like a plastic drywall anchor, if you've ever used them. The screw inside it is what makes it tight - screw outside of it makes it loose. It will all be clear once you have one in your hand. These are annoying fittings, I don't know if the car industry uses them for their cheapness, or for their DIY-unfriendliness. More than one answer may be correct!

Thanks, kimweigel. That is the practical advice that I needed. Will now do it.

Mice by marvinlee1

None of my best friends are mice. Mice have eaten part of the engine hood sound insulation. That, I can live with. Worse, they have gotten up the engine air intake passage and into the air filter housing where they have chewed into the air filter element and used the housing as a nesting area. This has happened twice, so I am thinking of cementing a coarse screen of wire over the air intake, which is begins near the front of the engine compartment. Beyond that annoyance, the Verona is running just fine at 50,000-plus miles and some of the minor engine clattering early on seems to have diminished. The leather seats have been durable and show no visible signs of wear.

Mice hate mothballs (the kind in a box, hee-hee). Put them in your garage, and if possible, around your air intake.
