Well its apparent that not much activity occurs here but I'll share my experience with this car anyway. It seems that people who bought the Verona either had a nearly flawless example or one with lots of problems. My Verona was somewhere in between. Within the first 25,000 miles I had to have the transmission replaced (under warranty), 02 sensors, and they supposedly fixed the cylinder misfiring problem. Between about 25,000 to 50,000 miles, it ran pretty well without many issues (though my image of the car was obviously tainted after having all that work done within a short time). Now at 58,000 miles the cylinders are misfiring again, sounds like the left rear strut/shock is giving out, and I just had my front bearings replaced. Yesterday morning while starting the car I realized this strange clicking coming from the engine department. The click increases with engine speed too. Very strange. I'll be taking the car in Monday to get a diagnostics test so I can see everything that is wrong with it. I really like my car and would love to keep it (I'll be done paying for it this year!!), but I'm a little worried about the long-term reliability. Its a good car, it just has lots of little quibbles that shouldn't be apparent on 5-year old car. Nonetheless, I'll keep you all updated...

well I haven't posted in a long time but still read any new messages as I am sure others do. my 2005 I have yet to have 25000 miles on yet. I hope this is something I dfo not have to look forward to. After 8 months of it being in the shop with 3 others having the same problem they ended replacing the catalytic converter along with other things. Now the ford dealer will no longer work on them and I have to go 50 miles away to sucki dealer

I have a 2004 Verona and just recently when I go to get gas it clicks off like it is full. It clicks and clicks and it takes forever to put in a couple gallons. I have taken it to a mechanic and they said that they cannot find anything wrong with it. My boyfriend took it apart to check the goose neck and it is not bent or damaged either. I was just wandering if any one has had this problem or can give me some ideas. I hate to take it to the Suzuki dealer because every time I take it there some thing else breaks as soon as I get it back. Not very trust worthy. Thank you.

Replying to: littleli (Jul 26, 2009 5:54 pm) It has more to do with the gas station pump itself. Alot of stations discourage "topping off" your tank (y'know getting that last ounce of gas to round off to the next nearest whole dollar) by having a mechanism that shuts off the gas when it back flushes back into the gas pump nozzle. Some nozzles are sensitive and some shoot gas so fast into your car's goose neck that it backflushes prematurely (something to do with a physics lesson involving that you can only shove liquid through a pipe only so fast). I would suggest for those fast gas pumps that you back off on the pump handle and slow the fuel flow. On a side note I think some gas stations have their "anti-topoff" settings set too sensitive. |

Replying to: poulsbokid (Jul 04, 2009 9:38 am) Dang, you still have that car?!!! I'm ALSO just checking back to satisfy my curiosity (plus I'm severely bored at work) in regards to Suzuki Motors company reacting on Verona issues........sadly I see they lost interest. For those that never ventured far back enough to read posts from August 2006 to September 2007, I was one of the rare members who successfully had Suzuki Motors Corporation buy back their Verona. I had to get a "lemon law" lawyer to send a threat of litigation for Suzuki to do that but it worked nonetheless. Long story short, the 2005 Verona that I had was one of thee worst, it actually shut off on me while I was going 65mph with a 18-wheeler on my butt. Suzuki put over $20,000 of new parts and labor into a $15,000 Verona through 13 visits to the mechanic. They extended my warranty and would have put even more money into the warranty work if not for the threat of litigation. When finally I returned it to a Suzuki rep for a buyback, the Verona would barely stay on and when it did it jerked along no faster than 25mph. In fact the rep couldn't even get it started to move it into another lot, he needed some dealership mechanics to come out to help him push! My overall conclusion about the whole experience is that Suzuki did play nice by honoring their warranty and even extending it but they failed at finding the root of the problem and were jerks for initially refusing my pleas for a buyback.
