Suzuki's Buying 'Em Back by gettingornery
Aug 16, 2008 (5:45 pm)
Reply
Rather than drop a new engine into my sister's Verona at 99k miles, the regional Suzuki rep offered to buy her car for 6 grand. She countered with 8,000, and Suzuki paid her off.
 
I had a new engine put in -- piece by piece over the course of last summer -- at only 60,000. Since I had about 20,000 miles still to go under warranty, I thought it was worth more than 8,000 to Suzuki to buy my car. Of course, I had to get a lawyer to write a letter, but Suzuki paid off my loan and gave me an extra thousand to boot.
 
I dropped off my Verona mid-July. I hated to see the car go. I really did love it. But it simply was not a safe car, not with the stalling problems I had.
 
I'm happy to report I bought an '05 Saab 9-3, a one-owner lease, with bumper-to-bumper warranty to 100k. I think from now on I'm going to let someone else break in my cars before I buy them.
 
And I think as fellow Verona owners we all know this, but just in case it needs to be said: NEVER EVER BUY A CAR WITHOUT A WARRANTY!!!!!
 
Thank you and Good Night.

Lisa what all was happening to you and your sisters car that the engine needed to be replaced. WE are in a predictament that I need cylinder work and it is rather expensive. We heard from our district rep yesterday that Suzuki wouldn't help us fix the car (we have 104K on the car not much past the warranty). How did you get them to purchase the car back? What exactly dod the lawyer help you with? Please help! I don't know what to do and I still owe money on the piece of crap. Anyone having information would be appreciated. Please feel free to use my personal email address. Mickeysgalcomcast.net

Antifreeze change by marvinlee1
Sep 01, 2008 (9:38 am)

Where is the antifreeze drain for the cooling system on the Verona? I crawled underneath to drain the old fluid and was unable to see the drain. A sort of protective metal plate shields the radiator bottom from easy access. Must this first be removed? And, has anyone tried replacing the original conventional antifreeze with a more modern long-life antifreeze?

Hi Welington,
I have the same problem, but a little bit different from yours. mine use to be slugish while starting in the mornings but I changed the battery and it kicks fine now but the knocking sound which goes away after about 3min is still there. My mechanic told me that the noise is from sticking cylinder head valves and would need to be reset but he can not do it because there is no information on the gap settings of the valves. If you have solved the noise problem, please give me a reply while I still search the net for info on the gap setting.
Regards.

Hi Welinton. I have never used anything but regular gasoline and it seems to work fine.

My god if the warranty was 3/36 or 6/60 it would not be a problem but the 100,000 mile warranty. ok hears the deal no company offers a warranty thats longer then the expected failure rate. 100,000 ok good job but now it's over did you do all the service the dealer recomended possiabley. If you are one of the few who did good job your dealer will go to bat for you with the rep because you spent the money to keep the car in good shape at that dealer. But if you had a few things done here and a few things done there and only did warranty work or just the cheap stuff at the dealer than it's just simple math. Don't think that just because you bought car from the sales dept that the service dept will jump through hoops for you.

Two huge problems with this engine 1 the pcv valve breaks apart inside and 2 the injectors spray aginst the cylinder head not in to the intake port. GM will not allow suzuki to repair the car so suzuki just stoped selling them 2 years early there are huge law suits about this between the two so who knows. The way things look right now suzuki could buy out GM by the end of the year if thay wanted to.
