Hi,

I have a 2004 Verona that I bought in Jan 2005 as new, my car has been in the dealer shop for repair more than once. This time for very sluggish starting in the morning. The parts, a sensor and the throttle wheel have been replaced but the next day the same starting problems happen...my question is does this damage the engine components? I am now hearing sounds coming from the engine that do not sound good. Once it does start it runs good but I live in Colorado and need a dependable car.
My Customer Service Manager has been very responsive to my situation, I have been patient and understand that sometimes even new cars have problems at first and once they have been fixed the car will not have the problem again. Some of the Verona owner stories on other sites may indicate that their Verona has been a lemon automobile for them and I am conerned I am headed down the same road.
Back to the Dealer tomorrow to address this problem for a second time. Comments are welcome.
