Incident: July 6, 2011 · Filed: July 8, 2011

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 SUZUKI VERONA FOR THE PAST 2 1/2 YEARS. WE HAVE OWNED IF FOR ALMOST 3 1/2. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER JUST A YEAR AFTER OWNING IT COMPLAINING OF A CLUNKING NOISE. ALL THEY DID WAS UPDATE THE SOFTWARE ON IT. THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT UNLESS A LIGHT WAS ON. IT WOULD NOT GENERATE A CODE BACK THEN, ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOW 2 1/2 YEARS LATER, THEY SAY THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR IS BAD. AFTER READING SEVERAL FORUMS, IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS HAPPENS A LOT ON THIS TYPE OF CAR AND SUZUKI'S IN GENERAL. IT IS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIR NEXT TUESDAY. *TR

TODAY, BRAKES ACTED LIKE THEY WEREN'T GOING TO STOP THE CAR, SOUNDED AND FELT LIKE A SPRING THAT IS BEING DEPRESSED AND NOT ABLE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LOAD.
