ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED MY XL7 LUXURY NEW IN 2007 WITH ONLY 368+ MILES. BEFORE I HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE FOR 3 MONTHS, THE STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON AND I WAS FORCED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE. BEFORE MY VEHICLE WARRANTY EXPIRED, I HAD TO REPLACE THE GAS CAPS NUMEROUS TIMES RESULTING IN THE REPLACEMENT OF MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. NOW BEFORE MY VEHICLE REACHED 100,000 MILES, I AM FORCED TO REPLACE THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS (OR COMPLETE COMPUTER OUTPUT). PUGMIRE LINCOLN MERCURY IS THE ONLY DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA THAT PROVIDES REPAIRS FOR MY VEHICLE. AFTER THE HARNESS REPAIR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON, AND THE CODES (IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS) REVEAL THAT CODES: [P2099, P0157, P2272 AND P2099] RESULTING THAT THERE IS AN OIL LEAK, AN O2 SENSOR PROBLEM AND ANOTHER CATALYTIC FUEL PROBLEM AGAIN. IT IS TIME FOR MY 100,000 MILE CHECK-UP, BUT I CANNOT GET PAST THE ORIGINAL PROBLEMS. THESE CONDITIONS CONTINUE AND I LOVE MY VEHICLE. I WAS USING MY VEHICLE FOR TO AND FROM WORK OF LESS THAN 11 MILES DAILY. I HAVE DRIVEN AS FAR WEST AS SAN ANTONIO, TX AND NORTH TO BALTIMORE MD AND SOUTH TO JACKSONVILLE FL. MY ABS LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AND MY OIL LIGHT FLASHES TO INSTRUCT ME TO CUT OFF THE MOTOR AND TIGHTEN MY GAS CAP WHILE IN MOTION.

ENGINE
I HAD THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 100,000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY. IT HAD TO BE REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 200,000 MILES. THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 210,000 MILES AND STOPPED RUNNING WHILE BEING DRIVEN. THE TIMING CHAIN SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED SO OFTEN AND I HAVE HEARD OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS WEB SITES AND FROM OTHER SOURCES.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS A LEMON!! I BOUGHT MY SUZUKI 2 YEARS AGO USED AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED. AFTER I GET GAS IT SPUTTERS AND STRUGGLES STARTING. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. EVENTUALLY IT JUST STOPS RUNNING. I COULD NOT DRIVE MY SUZUKI MOST OF THE WINTER BECAUSE OF THAT AND NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT. THE SUNROOF AND WINDSHIELD LEAK. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT A COUPLE OF TIMES AND IT IS STILL LEAKING. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT DOESN'T WORK. THE TURN SIGNAL DOESN'T WORK. NOW MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. IT IS STUCK AT 80 WHEN IT IS PARKED AND THEN GOES UP FROM THERE WHEN I AM DRIVING IT. WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE IS GOING TO STOP WORKING. I AM SO FRUSTRATED, THERE ARE TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT IS UNSAFE!
