ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THERE ARE MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY 2007 XL-7. MOST RECENTLY IT'S BEEN THE SMELL OF BURNING WIRES COMING FROM EITHER THE STEERING COLUMN OR UNDER THE DASHBOARD WHICH I WILL NEED TO GET INSPECTED ASAP. I READ ONE OTHER COMPLAINT POSTED ON 2/29/12 STATING THE SAME PROBLEM OF SMELLING BURNING WIRES WHICH ENDED IN THE VEHICLE BEING ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND THE FAMILY RUNNING FOR THEIR LIVES. I'VE ALREADY HAD A SO CALLED TUNE-UP FROM THE LOCAL DEALER ABOUT 1 1/2 YEARS AGO, BUT I NOW HAVE ISSUES STARTING THE VEHICLE WHEN I GET GAS. I HAVE TO PUMP THE GAS PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES IN ORDER TO START THE SUV AND THEN IT'S A ROUGH IDLE UNTIL I START DRIVING. I GET THE OIL CHANGE REGULARLY, BUT WAS TOLD ON THE LAST OIL CHANGE THAT I NEEDED A NEW OIL PAN GASKET BECAUSE OIL WAS LEAKING FROM THE PAN. I ALSO HAD MY BRAKES CHECKED 2 YEARS AGO AND WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT I HAVE UNEVEN BRAKE PADS DUE TO THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS ENGAGING INCORRECTLY OR ON ONE SIDE OF THE ROTORS. IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE CALIPERS, GET NEW BRAKE PADS AND TURN THE ROTORS ON THE FRONT, IT WOULD COST ME $400+ PER THE MECHANIC WHICH I FELT WAS RIDICULOUS. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF FAULTY BRAKE CALIPERS ON A VEHICLE BELOW 5 YEARS OF AGE AS I BOUGHT MY XL-7 NEW IN 2007 AND THE BRAKE INSPECTION WAS BETWEEN 2009 AND 2010. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED ONE YEAR TO THE POINT WHERE I NOW HAVE A SCRATCH ON MY WINDSHIELD. I LIKE THE STYLE OF THE XL-7 AND ITS HORSE POWER AND IT' HAS NOT FAILED ME ON LONG ROAD TRIPS, BUT THE RECENT ISSUE AND PAST ISSUES ARE VERY TROUBLESOME. I'M VERY CLOSE TO PAYING MY SUV OFF AND NO LONGER HAVE THE WARRANTY SO I HAVE SOME DECISIONS TO MAKE ON WHETHER I SHOULD INVEST THE MONEY OR GET RID OF IT. A RECALL ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED WHEN CONSIDERING ALL THE PAST COMPLAINTS. BY THE WAY, THE DEALER I PURCHASED MY XL-7 FROM NO LONGER EXISTS. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2007 XL7 HAS THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL , SERVICE STABILITY CONTROL , AND ENGINE REDUCED POWER, DASHBOARD WARNINGS ON: STORY; 02/15 I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 XL7 AND THE BRAKE PEDAL GOT VERY SENSITIVE AND SHORT AND TIGHT-QUICK GRIPPING/BITING. I HAD TO TOUCH IT EXTREMELY LIGHTLY WHEN STOPPING. A FEW MINUTES LATER THE CAR STARTED TO TUG, AND PULL BACK AND JUST CREATED RESISTANCE AGAINST ME WHEN I WANTED TO GIVE IT GAS. IT WAS SIMILAR TO BAD GAS, LIKE MISSING AND SPUTTERING, BUT IT WAS DIFFERENT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS GIVING ME RESISTANCE, NOT JUST LOSING POWER, I THOUGHT THAT THE BRAKES WERE TRYING TO SEIZE UP. AFTER A STOP LIGHT, I HEADED UP A HILL AND THE CAR JUST FOUGHT ME DOWN TO A DEAD STOP. *TR

IN TURNING THE WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT THERE IS A ZIPPING SOUND AND A TIGHTNESS IN THE STEERING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND HAD THE FLUIDS CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT THE POWER-STEERING FLUID WAS ACCURATE. I WAS TOLD BY THE SHOP THAT THE FLUID LEVELS WERE CORRECT. HOWEVER, THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING COLUMN, WHICH I HAVE NOT GONE TO HAVE CHECKED OUT AS OF YET. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, STEERING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
AC COMPRESSOR WENT OUT TWICE IN MY 2002 SUZUKI XL-7. ONCE IN AUGUST 2009 AND AGAIN IN MAY 2012. I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED TWICE BECAUSE IT WAS A PRETTY HOT SUMMER. IT ASSUME IF THE CAR LAST ANOTHER FEW YEARS, I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. HOW ANNOYING! ALSO, AFTER THE SUMMER MONTHS, DURING THE WINTER MONTHS WHEN I NEED TO TURN ON THE HEAT, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I GOT THIS TESTED AND IT HAD TO DO WITH THE AC COMPRESSOR. THIS MAKES SENSE BECAUSE THE XL-7 COMPRESSOR IS DUAL. IT'S RUNS AC AND HEAT. POWER STEERING HAS BEEN LEAKING FOR THE PAST YEAR. I WOULD ADD POWER STEERING FLUID EVERY TWO WEEKS OR SO. BUT NOW IT'S PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. I HAVE TO ADD FLUID EVERY OTHER DAY. FRONT AND BACK BUMPER IS DISPLAYING CORROSION. IT LOOKS LIKE THE METAL HINGES THAT HOLD UP THE BUMPERS ARE WEARING AND YOU CAN SEE IT. THIS CAR WAS NOT BUILT TO LAST. I FORESEE MANY MORE ISSUES. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THE AIR BAG IS MALFUNCTIONING, THE LIGHTS KEPT COMING ON. THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM AGREED TO FIX THE PROBLEM IF I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WELL IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE SO THE ENDED REPLACING THE PASS. SEAT AIRBAG MODULE WITH A USED SEAT FROM ANOTHER USED VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO MAKES A WHINNING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS THE RUBBER RUBBING AGAINST THE COVER. I FOUND OUT FROM A EX-EMPLOYEE OF THE DEALER THAT IT WAS THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDING REPLACEMENT. SINCE THEN EVERY OTHER OWNER I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SAYS THEIR STEERING WHEEL IS THE SAME. SO IT MUST BE A FAULTY STEERING COLUMN IN ALL THESE VEHICLES. BACK TO THE AIRBAG, THE FOLLOWING MONTHS SINCE GETTING MY AIRBAG FIXED, THE DASH LIGHTS NO LONGER CAME ON IN THE VEHICLE. I DID, HOWEVER, NOTICE THAT THE INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD SOMETIMES SAY OFF AND SOMETIMES SAY ON IF I HAD A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. SEVERAL MONTHS FOLLOWING THIS, I STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE GOING DEAD. I TOOK THE COOK TO HAVE IT INSPECTED, EVERYTIME I WAS TOLD THAT THE BATTERY WAS FINE AS WAS THE ALTERNATOR. I STARTED DRIVING WATCHING THE VOLTAGE METER. FINALLY, I REPLACED THE BATTERY. I NO LONGER HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR DYING ON ME, BUT I DO NOTICE THAT THE VEHICLE VOLTAGE STILL FLUCTUATES FROM 12.3 TO 14.3. WHEN THE FLUCTUATION OCCURS, NOTHING HAS CHANGED AS FAR AS RUNNING EXTRA ACCESSORIES ETC. NOW MY TRACTION SERVICE LIGHT, STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT, ABS LIGHT AND SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ARE ALL COMING ON. RESEARCHING I HAVE FOUND ONLINE FROM NUMEROUS MESSAGE BOARDS AND OWNERS THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND WHEN REPEATEDLY REPORTED TO MANUFACTURER THERE IS NOTHING BEING DONE. EXAMPLES ARE THE LIGHTS COMING ON, AIR BAGS DEPLOYING WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE ACC.(RADIO AND A/C CONTROLS) NOT WORKING AND SO ON. IS THERE A WAY YOU CAN INVESTIGATE THIS WITH SUZUKI? *TR

I CONTACTED SUZUKI REGARDING THE ISSUES OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM, THEY STATED THAT MY VIN# WAS NOT ON A RECALL FOR THE BRAKING SYSTEM YET, I STILL HAVE ISSUES. WHAT RE-COARSE DO I HAVE IN GETTING RE-EMBURSED FOR PRIOR INSTALLMENT OF NEW BRAKES AND GETTING IT CORRECTED AGAIN!

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TO A SCHEDULED DOCTORS APPOINTMENT FROM TOLEDO, OHIO TO ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THE POWER STEERING WHEEL BECAME STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND OPERATE THE VEHICLE PROPERLY AND SAFELY. WHEN CHANGING LANES TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY AFTER DRIVING 56 MILES THE POWER STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN WHILE EXITING OFF THE OFFRAMP. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A NEARBY SERVICE CENTER CALLED GOODYEAR. GOODYEAR ANALYZED THE VEHICLE AND SAID THE DRIVE BELT HAD BROKEN OFF THE AIR COMPRESSOR WHICH CONTROLS THE POWER STEERING BELT. GOODYEAR HAD TO PUT A NEW DRIVE BELT ON, WHICH COST ME $115.89. ADDITIONALLY, GOODYEAR SAID THE A/C COMPRESSOR HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND THAT CAUSED THE A/C COMPRESSOR TO FREEZE UP WHICH CAUSED THE SERIOUS PROBLEM OF THE POWER STEERING BELT TO BREAK OFF. (SHREDDED) GOODYEAR'S ESTIMATE TO REPAIR THE COMPRESSOR MALFUNCTION WAS $1,500.00 DOLLARS. THE ESTIMATE COST OF THE A/C COMPRESSOR PART BY ITSELF FOR THE SUZUKI XL7 03 WAS $600 DOLLARS. ALSO, WHEN I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR OTHER SIMILAR SUZUKI A/C MALFUNCTION COMPLAINTS I FOUND NUMEROUS SUZUKI XL7 OWNERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, IE., THE A/C COMPRESSOR HAS A SERIOUS HABIT OF FREEZING UP AND BREAKING THE DRIVE BELT! I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD FOR OWNERS OF SUZUKI XL7 03 MODELS AND YOUR AGENCY NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS SAFETY DEFECT BEFORE THE SUZUKI XL7 CAUSES A SERIOUS VEHICLE ACCIDENT WHICH COULD RESULT IN DEATH! ADDITIONALLY,ANYTHING THAT WOULD IMPAIR THE OPERATION OF A MAJOR PART OF ANY VEHICLE IS A "SAFETY DEFECT" AND HAZARDOUS!" SUZUKI MANUFACTURERS OUGHT TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS SAFETY PROBLEM AS THEY MANUFACTURED THE SUZUKI XL7 03 AND SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THE A/C COMPRESSOR COULD MALFUNCTION WHICH IS THE CAUSE FOR THE DRIVE BELT TO BREAK OFF THE POWER STEERING. *JS
