Verona

My wife was traveling from home when her 2005 Suzuki Verona just started stalling and it cut off. It cut off without notice or warning. She attempted to restart car and when doing so the car did not start. Then she tried again it started and drove it back home with the airbag light on and service engine light illuminated. I then had the spark plugs replaced and fixed the corroded battery terminal. I drove the car on 10/29/2014 at 2:00am in the morning headed to work and it was just hard to accelerate then it would surge, the rpms would get really high and the car would act as though it wants to cut off! there is a recall on the lights of these vehicles but they haven't had them sent or requested to be fixed. I have read where there is no fixing to these cars and that us owners of these cars are all having the same issue and some have had fatalities. To GM and other manufacturers of these cars, you know these cars need to be recalled and given the full value of the car when purchased or half of it and as the family of fatalities, there needs to be the full value of purchase and funeral burial expenses. My heart goes out to those families who lost love ones and to those who are scared to drive this car and can't really afford another, I would advise against driving it if you can if you must be careful because it can cutoff without warning or notice and cause injury. I don't let my wife drive it anymore because if it had been her injured I would be seeking a lawsuit against Suzuki, GM, or whom responsible.
