Contact owned a 2004 Suzuki Verona where the engine light was staying on. Consumer took the vehicle to the service dealer about 7-8 times. They replaced the fuel cap, computer, and the oxygen sensor. Consumer inspected the fuel cap and found that the rubber packing on the fuel cap was crooked. Consumer reinstalled the rubber packing on fuel cap and this remedied the problem with the engine light staying on. Consumer did go to the local service dealer and examined a fuel cap for a 2005 Suzuki Verona and found the same assembly of the fuel cap as for fuel cap. The sales consultant of the dealership witnessed the assembly of the fuel cap.
