2004 Suzuki Verona Vehicle speed control Problems

“This is my sisters car and has been getting steadily worse as time goes on. When she first purchased the car, 6 months ago, it was a slight hesitation. We thought it was the range sensor. That didn't solve the problem. Neither did new plugs, nor patching some vacuum leaks, cleaning maf sensor. Sudden, barely controllable speed changes, shifting out of sequence and hesitation when accelerating. This vehicle is a death trap. I feel, after all these testimonials, that GM should be held responsible. After all, the door tag says that it's a GM daewoo vehicle. …”

“I bought a 2004 Suzuki Verona 4 door sedan, in october 2003. Since then I have taken it to the dealership numerous times, they keep sending me away without fixing it, they say when the car stalls thats the way it was designed. And all the cars I have owned in the past I've never heard of them being designed to stall!! It does not accelerate properly, the car stalls miss fires when cold, it doesn't shift right, the service person said that it was my driving (bull)! …”

“I am going to list the problems that I have with my 04 Suzuki Verona ex. 1. Turn signals do not cancel out (usually while turning left) 2. Steering wheel audio controls, volume acts like a mute, seal acts like mode, mode turns off radio and the cd player sticks. 3. Heated seats turn on and off by itself. You need to push the button a few times before it will activate. 4. Cruise control will disengage by itself (this is intermittent) 5. Head lights burn out about every 3 - 4 months. 6. One ABS sensor went out around 30k miles and the second went out about 80k miles. 7. …”

“I have a 2004 Suzuki Verona lx that from the day I bought it the cruise control wanders or surges. It is getting worse with age. It will very as much as 10 MPH back and forth, back and forth until you turn it off. I have had several close calls at being rear ended when it slows down suddenly. I have had it to 4 different dealers and they all tell me the same thing. This is the way it is supposed to work. They tell me it was fixed in the 2005 & 2006 models. Then why can't they retrofit the 2004's. This is a terrible safety hazard that is getting worse as the vehicle gets older. …”

“My Verona had a problem of feeling like it wasn't shifting right. The first time I was going about 40-50 MPH and it felt like the brake was on or in first gear. The second time 30-40 MPH the same thing. Then the service engine soon light came on. I took it to the dealer and they said I'm not pointing any fingers but it shows that the throttle and the brake was on at the same time . Which I took to mean I was driving with my brake on while accelerating. This was not the case. Told him that if I pulled over and shut the car off and then restarted it that the problem went away. …”
