Two problems related to body have been reported for the 2008 Suzuki XL7. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2008 Suzuki XL7 based on all problems reported for the 2008 XL7.
The contact owns a 2008 Suzuki Xl7. The contact stated that the struts that held the rear trunk hatch in place failed, and caused the hatch to abruptly strike the contact on the head while in the rear of the vehicle. The dealer was notified who advised the contact to bring the vehicle in for repairs. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 31,000.
Front door locks would not respond to key fob and would stay locked. Had to use key to get into the car. Got it fixed under warranty. Now, rear locks intermittently wont respond to fob. Either the rear doors stay locked( and cannot even be opened with the handle from the inside) or sometimes they wont lock when you leave the car. The lock/unlock button inside the car does not override the situation. This vehicle has no key option for the rear doors. Thankfully, no one has been stuck in the rear seats and unable to get out. No rhyme or reason as to when it happens and when they will start working again. Cant trust that the car is securely locked or that people can get out when it decides that it doesn't want the doors to unlock.
