#863 of 1855 recall for ecm by ccbloome61

Aug 24, 2004 (5:33 pm)

On the web i read today that a recall of 2004 veronas has been sent by suzuki for reprogram of the ecm. It said that a incorrect fuel/air mixture was being sent during deceleration and could cause a stall and/or a crash. I bought my Verona on July 30 and it has been chugging on deceleration and running a little rough at start up. I called suzuki to find out when my recall would be sent out but they were already closed. Left them a message to call me back. Love the car!!! Will be glad when ecm is reprogrammed.

I am glad to hear there will be a recall. At least Suzuki is going to do the right thing by their Verona owners.

#867 of 1855 Ref: Recall of the ECM by veronaowner

Aug 25, 2004 (6:50 pm)

I think that is what has been tqlked here as the "Reflash of the Computer" or "Reboot of the Computer." It will be the "KE" campaign. That is what the Suzuki rep did to my Verona EX last week.

Hi Verona lovers,
   Factory tech reprogrammed ECM for mine but still stalls even more than before. It's at the dealer since Aug 10, 2004. Luckly, I got a rental since then. All attempts failed to find the root cause. Another factory tech has been dispatched.
 
   I baught mine about 2 months ago and put 2300 miles on it before experiencing the Engine Stalling 4 times on me right on the major highly traffic street. I barely pulled over and escaped from the honkers.
 
   This Red baby looks good but drives like a Turkey.

#871 of 1855 now there swapping out by russm3

So far since my car has been reprogrammed, it has been running fine...So I pray that this is the fix that will resolve this issue for everyone else as well.
 
But my advice to veronavictim is to file a lemon law claim like I did. And this time maybe you should try for the buyout but it won't be easy. If you want info about filing a claim, shoot me an email and I will tell you the steps I went through.
 
BTW - where are all those people in this forum who didn't believe us? ;o)
