I just purchased a 2005 Suzuki verona 5 months ago, and it was the biggest mistake of my life. I'll be on the road and all of a sudden the car will hold back (stall) and drop to less than 20 miles per hour.

They've put in new sensors twice, flushed the computer various times, and the problem still persists.
