2005 suzuki verona, this vehicle had total front end damage all the way to the windshield, the air bag did not go off, I was injured with neck and back pain. Photos are available of this. This defective air bag could have allowed me to receive tremendous more injuries.
The suzuki verona had brake failure numerous times. The first incident happened during the week of april 26, 2007. The brakes would not function and made a loud sound and vibrated. I had to pump on them to get the car to stop. The ABS light came on at this time. I immediately took it to the repair shop, and they told me the brakes and rotors needed to be replaced. They replaced the brakes, but the ABS light came on again.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 suzuki verona. When the vehicle was first purchased, it pulled to the right. The vehicle was taken to the dealer because both the check engine and tire pressure lights illuminated. The dealer replaced the tire pressure sensor, but the failure still occurred. When he attempted to start the vehicle, it would not start and the battery was nearly drained. In march of 2008, the failure recurred and the vehicle failed to start.
