New Car Assessment Program
The 2006SUZUKIVERONA carries 17 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2006 VERONA is power train with 4 filings, followed by power train:automatic transmission (3) and electrical system (3). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 2 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 14 investigation files overlapping the 2006 VERONA. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 SUZUKI VERONA FOR THE PAST 2 1/2 YEARS. WE HAVE OWNED IF FOR ALMOST 3 1/2. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER JUST A YEAR AFTER OWNING IT COMPLAINING OF A CLUNKING NOISE. ALL THEY DID WAS UPDATE THE SOFTWARE ON IT. THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT UNLESS A LIGHT WAS ON. IT WOULD NOT GENERATE A CODE BACK THEN, ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOW 2 1/2 YEARS LATER, THEY SAY THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR IS BAD. AFTER READING SEVERAL FORUMS, IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS HAPPENS A LOT ON THIS TYPE OF CAR AND SUZUKI'S IN GENERAL. IT IS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIR NEXT TUESDAY. *TR
