2004 Suzuki Verona brake problems

SERVICE BRAKES

BOUGHT THIS HORRIBLE CAR FOR $4,300 OF FINANCIAL AID MONEY WITH "AS IS, NO WARRANTY". OWNER SAID HE'D FIX THE PROBLEM BUT DID NOT EVEN THOUGH HE'S NOT OBLIGED TO, BUT HE WENT AGAINST HIS WORDS FOR FIXING THE CAR. HE SAID HIS MECHANIC WILL BUY THE NEW HOSE FOR THE ENGINE WHICH HE DID, BUT DID NOT PUT IN A FILTER AS SAID. THEN THEY DID NOT FIX THE OXYGEN SENSOR OR PUT ON NEW BRAKE PADS OR ROTORS AS SAID. THE BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE SEVERELY DAMAGE, AND THE OXYGEN SENSOR IS BUSTED. THE COOLANT & ANTI-FREEZE TUBE BURST, THE LEFT BLINKER BLINKS REALLY FAST, THE SMOG LIGHT BUTTON DOESN'T WORK, THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS OFF. IT IS JUST A TERRIBLE CAR I HAVE BOUGHT WRONGLY.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 SUZUKI VERONA. THE CONTACT BRAKE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AFTER HE STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE AND APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO DEACTIVATE THE LIGHT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER TIME. IN ADDITION, WHENEVER THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED THE CRUISE AND TRACTION CONTROL WERE NONFUNCTIONAL. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 97,006.

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. RIGHT NOW I HAVE CYLINDERS 5 & 6 THAT ARE MISFIRING ON THE VEHICLE THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE AMOUNT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS MORE THEN MY CAR IS WORTH. WE ARE 3K MILES OVER WARRANTY AND SO FAR SUZUKI WILL NOT HELP.

2004 SUZUKI VERONA PROBLEMS WITH JOLTING AFTER BEING STOPPED. CONSUMER STATES THAT WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED THE ENGINE WOULD NOT REGISTER IT RIGHT AWAY UNTIL ABOUT 3 SECONDS OR SO THEN THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH FORWARD. *KB THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE AS WELL. WHILE DRIVING, SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE STARTED DROPPING SPEED, THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING; THERE WAS SIMPLY NO CONNECTION BETWEEN THE RUNNING ENGINE AND THE GAS PEDAL. BECAUSE THE CONSUMER HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET, THE GAS PEDAL LODGED INTO THE FLOOR BOARD TRYING TO MAINTAIN CRUISING SPEED. SEVERAL COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED TO TRY AND RESOLVE THE PROBLEM SUCH AS THE TRANSMISSION, HEAD GASKETS, PCV, FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, FUEL PUMP, CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AND O2 SENSOR. THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINED IN OCTOBER 2006. IN MARCH 2007 A NEW ABS MODULE WAS INSTALLED.
