2005 Suzuki Verona LX review from North America
"This car is unreliable and not worth having"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had my Verona for almost 2 years now. During which time I have had it in the shop at an authorized dealer numerous times. All with the following problems..
Stalling out while driving, parked.
While driving the car reduces speed without pressing the brake.
While driving the car speeds up without pressing the accelerator.
The RPM revs up and then decreases suddenly, while driving or even being parked.
I cannot use my A/C or heat because when I do the car will not stay on, it continuously stalls.
When the Verona is put into park, the RPMs go all the way to 5; sounds like the car is going to take off by itself.
While at a stop with my foot on the brake, my car suddenly jerks forward, I have to make sure there is enough space so as to not hit the person in front of me with the jerk.
I am constantly replacing tires.
The airbag lights stay on.
My clock never stays on; if I go over a bump in the road it may or may not come on or off.
The check engine light will be one for a day and go off, or it may stay on for weeks.
The car constantly sputters going down the road.
General comments?
As you can tell from the above, I am not happy with this car. I am very disappointed that I have to pay a car payment on a vehicle that is so unreliable.
