NHTSA lists 2 safety recalls and 8 owner complaints for the 2006 Suzuki Verona. Most complaints involve power train (7) and electrical system (3). The EPA rates it 20 mpg combined.
Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2004-2006 Verona vehicles manufactured June 2003 to October 2005. In the affected vehicles, there may be heat generated within the DRL module located in the instrument panel, which could melt the DRL module.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE POWER STEERING PUMP PULLEY MAY SEPARATE FROM THE POWER STEERING PUMP DUE TO INADEQUATE WALL THICKNESS OF THE PULLEY.
Complaints are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and are not normalized for sales volume. One complaint can cite several components.
“WHEN MY CAR IS SWITCHED INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE, IT WILL JERK VERY LOUDLY THEN PROCEED TO NOT SWITCH INTO ANY GEARS HIGHER THAN 3RD. SOMETIMES WHEN I GO INTO REVERSE, IT WILL JERK AND SWING BACK QUICKLY WITH LITTLE ACCELERATION. IT HAS CONTINUED FOR 5 MONTHS - LOOKING ONLINE SO MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS FAULTY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. *TR”
“I WAS GOING TO START DRIVING AND WHEN I SHIFTED INTO REVERSE THE SHIFT SCREEN GOT ALL JUMBLED AND MADE A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE, THEN REVERSED AND WENT INTO DRIVE AND THE CAR WOULD HARDLY DRIVE AT ALL THE RPM'S WERE CLOSE TO 2500 AND CAR HARDLY MOVING AT FIRST, THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION ITSELF AND FOUND OUT THAT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR BY MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. DID NOT HAVE THE ISSUE WITH IT HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING YET BUT I HAVE A KID TO WORRY ABOUT! *TR”
