2004 Suzuki Verona Seat belts Problems

“Consumer stated that when driving, the vehicle just shutdown. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and they had it for over a week and the consumer was afraid to get back into it because she thought she may get killed. The electronic key would not open the vehicle and it would relock itself continuously at least three times before the consumer could enter, the seat belt would disengage itself, there was a stalling problem, the dealer suggested that the vehicle would adjust itself while in motion, and the A/C would choke.

“The seat belts in the back seat will not work properly. I have 2 out of the 3 to lock up and not work. I have a 4yr old and now she must ride by the door due to the malfunction of the other two seatbelts. I have had so much trouble out of this car and it was bought new. It surges and has almost got me and my child killed. I had it in the shop for over a month and still have issues. They say it doesn't happen when they drive it. Like it is in my head. I don't recommend Suzuki to anyone!”
