Received check engine light and codes were as before pointed to a stretched timing chain. This is the second time for this vehicle. Dealership said this time it was from low oil pressure. Why was there not a low oil pressure light if it will ruin engine components? Suzuki has a TSB for timing chains and individual part numbers for these kits which tells me there should be a recall.
The contact owns a 2008 Suzuki Xl7. While driving 30 mph, the check engine light illuminated without warning. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 98,000.
Check engine light illuminated and was told by our local garage the timing chain needed to be replaced. Needed special tools to do the job, so we had to take it to a former Suzuki dealer that still had specialty tools and had it fixed for $2200. Former dealership said this is a common problem with these cars. Also contacted Suzuki USA and filed a complaint.
