general problems of the 2008 Suzuki XL7

Service traction control and abs light on dash board.

My SUV keeps shutting the stability control off for no reason everytime I scan the computer there is no codes and it just shut off randomly for no reason at all and Suzuki dealerships say there is nothing wrong when there ovisly is because when im driving on the scity street and it just shuts it off while your driving it put you and the people in you car in a dangerous situation because in the progress of shuting that off the abs gos off the transaction control gos off and the stability control stop working not safe at all.

Warnings: service stability control, service traction control, awd off, abs. Intermittently appears and goes away. No rhyme or reason, just nerve racking. Steering on the vehicle is hard.

My Suzuki xl-7 paint has peeled off the back door and the top of the car a mechanic stated its a triple coat paint job because of the color which is pearl white. The is definitely a manufacture problem but they are pathetic. The paint is peeling so bad I'm scared to wash the vehicle because the paint may come off! then the electrical is worse I get in the door chime goes through the speakers at high volume. The stability control keeps cutting off and on and so does the check engine light.

To begin, my moonroof leaked into the overhead lights in the cabin any time I washed the car. Had to take it in 3 times to get it fixed. Window seals were buckling and got those replaced by dealer - but continued to buckle. All stabilitrac lights have always been intermittent since I bought the car. Key fob worked intermittently around 85000 then the rear driver door would not respond to it. Replaced battery in fob and had to take it in to only have it diagnosed that the actuator in the door was going out. While I was turning a corner in my 2008 Xl7, I heard a grinding/rattling noise that seemed to worsen at slower speeds and would go away as I accelerated through the turn around 90000 miles. Power steering felt tight, abs light, check engine light, service traction control, awd off, stabil-trac light all came on. . . Intermittently. Took it in for other repairs before warranty ran out and the dealership could not duplicate the issue/sound. At 95700 miles same thing started happening, took it to my mechanic and he could not duplicate the issue. At 103000 miles the noise/rattling/grinding is back in force. Took it to my mechanic, he was finally able to duplicate it, pulled multiple mis-fire codes p0300, p0301,p0305, & p0303. Replaced a weak battery, change the oil and diagnosed the timing chain/tensioner needed to be replaced. Called Suzuki to explain that this had been happening for the last 15000 miles spuratically, finally got it diagnosed after the warranty had expired and they will not even recognize that this is a common problem with this model. Called dealership and the fix is around $3000. This is a prevalent recurring problem with the Xl7 2007-2009. As many complaints as I have seen regarding this issue, knowing that if I continue to drive it like this that it could destroy the entire engine, Suzuki should be issuing a recall and fixing this defective vehicle.

While driving 20 miles per hour on an icy road the service traction control, service stability control, service awd, and reduced engine power lights came on. The engine seized and surged and my brakes were inoperable. The vehicle slid and fishtailed. I regained control of the vehicle after a few seconds and pushed the gas lightly to continue driving. The vehicle surged forward and I slid into a canal. I was able to climb into the back seat, escape out the back passenger door, and swim to safety.

When starting car the dash comes up stating stability control needs serviced and turns off plus my tracking control off. Then once you keep going will start working after 15 minutes. Its, crazy cause tried to talk to Suzuki auto of America and they just blew off any issues and stated sorry can't help you out of warranty and said not a lot of people have reported it to be a recall. I was like it's a 30,000 dollar SUV and I said no wonder they went into bankruptcy. It's so upsetting not even that old low millage and it's now on my SUV has 64,680 and still sane issue and more. Can't believe there isn't more out there not to have a recall. I would believe this is a huge safety issue cause of all the brakes and stability of car. Please help me.

All system warning lights are on. Not sure if there is a problem or not. The electrical stability control, check engine, abs, and etc.
