See NHTSA campaign id number : 03v512000 in December 2004 purchased a Suzuki xl-7 for $15,000 cash with 24,000 miles in April 2005 I stopped at a stop sign, signaled to make a left turn. The car spun from the rear causing it to go out of control and into a wall. The whole front end was smashed, repairs are going to cost me $9,000 in damages. Explained to Suzuki that this car was paid for in cash and that I only had liability. Suzuki is stating that they can't do anything cause the car didn't have full coverage, and the recall was sent to the original owner. I purchased this car from a dealer not the original owner. The car has around 26,000 miles on it now and is in the auto body shop being repaired. Suzuki should pay for this since this car is still under warranty. Why shold I have to pay an extra $9,000 when the car failed. If the car is damaged due to this recall why should I have to pay for the repairs. Desperately seeking advise. Thank you.
