2005 Suzuki Verona problems

“MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING FROM HOME WHEN HER 2005 SUZUKI VERONA JUST STARTED STALLING AND IT CUT OFF. IT CUT OFF WITHOUT NOTICE OR WARNING. SHE ATTEMPTED TO RESTART CAR AND WHEN DOING SO THE CAR DID NOT START. THEN SHE TRIED AGAIN IT STARTED AND DROVE IT BACK HOME WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I THEN HAD THE SPARK PLUGS REPLACED AND FIXED THE CORRODED BATTERY TERMINAL. I DROVE THE CAR ON 10/29/2014 AT 2:00AM IN THE MORNING HEADED TO WORK AND IT WAS JUST HARD TO ACCELERATE THEN IT WOULD SURGE, THE RPMS WOULD GET REALLY HIGH AND THE CAR WOULD ACT AS THOUGH IT WANTS TO CUT OFF! THERE IS A RECALL ON THE LIGHTS OF THESE VEHICLES BUT THEY HAVEN'T HAD THEM SENT OR REQUESTED TO BE FIXED. I HAVE READ WHERE THERE IS NO FIXING TO THESE CARS AND THAT US OWNERS OF THESE CARS ARE ALL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND SOME HAVE HAD FATALITIES. TO GM AND OTHER MANUFACTURERS OF THESE CARS, YOU KNOW THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND GIVEN THE FULL VALUE OF THE CAR WHEN PURCHASED OR HALF OF IT AND AS THE FAMILY OF FATALITIES, THERE NEEDS TO BE THE FULL VALUE OF PURCHASE AND FUNERAL BURIAL EXPENSES. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THOSE FAMILIES WHO LOST LOVE ONES AND…”

“This issue pertains to Safety Recall Notice No. XC - All 2004-2006 Suzuki Verona Vehicles - DRL System. Please note, the vehicle manufacturer provided documentation service was performed and the DRL Module (part 38860-84Z21-RX0) was replaced at mileage 49470. My wife and I are the original owner and the mileage is 61,000-62,000 currently. Approximately 1 month ago we experienced a slight odor like something electrical was burning. Recently, we noticed 1) That the Daytime Running Lights glow at first and gradually reach full intensity. 2) When switching from low headlights to high beams, all headlights go completely out for about 6 seconds before coming on gradually. Because Suzuki automobiles are no longer sold in the United States, the nearest support dealer is located 150 miles away. A local auto repair shop diagnosed and determined the DRL Module part mentioned in the original recall needs to be replaced. We contacted the support dealer, who, in turn, contacted Suzuki USA about the issue. Suzuki USA indicates they complied with the original recall and refuse to comply a second time. The original recall service report indicated a $122.60 cost for the part.…”

“I PURCHASED THE 2004 SUZUKI VERONA LAST YEAR FROM A THIRD PARTY. THE ENGINE STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. IT COMPLETELY STOPS. LAST YEAR IT STOPPED COMPLETELY AND WOULD NOT TURN ON. LUCKILY NO CARS WERE BEHIND ME. I HAD TO CALL THE TOW TRUCK AND FIX IT. THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE FUEL INJECTION. I WENT ONLINE AND CHECKED FOR RECALL. THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THE ENGINE STALL BUT ONLY FOR 2004. THE CORPORATE OFFICE INFORMED ME THAT SINCE IT WAS A 2005 YEAR, THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I SPENT ALMOST $700 AND NOW THE PROBLEM STARTED ARISING AGAIN LAST SATURDAY. THE ENGINE ALMOST STALLED. I CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AGAIN AND AFTER GIVING MY VIN # THEY SAID THAT NO RECALL HAVE BEEN LISTED WITH THAT VIN NUMBER. THEY EVEN SAID THAT HERE WERE NO OTHER RECALL FOR THAT YEAR AND MAKE WHICH I KNOW IS NOT TRUE. I CALLED THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY PEOPLE AND THEY SAID THAT THERE ARE 2 RECALL FOR THAT YEAR AND MAKE BUT THE CORPORATE OFFICE TELLS ME THAT THERE IS NONE. I WOULD BE HAPPY IF YOU COULD GIVE ME SOME INFORMATION ON THE RECALL FOR THAT VIN NUMBER. MY REFERENCE NUMBER IS [XXX]. *TR”
