Check Engine Light On Problems of Suzuki XL7

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.

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.

The check engine light is on in the vehicle and when checked by the dealer, the cams and timing chain are not in timing. The cams have shifted and the timing chain may be stretch. Seems to be a common failure to all of these vehicles and there should be a recall for this situation. Also due to the check engine light the remote start is'nt working either.

Check engine light came on and dealer said that it was a defective camshaft. Work on engine consisted of changing camshaft and rocker arms. Dealer said that he has seen this problem on a few other 2007 Suzuki Xl7s. The problem is rust on the interior of the engine caused by the manner in which they are shipped across canada. Apparently, a valve cover is left off so a bar code can be viewed while in transport. This may be a serious problem if the vehicle suddenly loses power and turns off due to rust.

- while driving on the highway the engine check light on a 2005 Suzuki Xl7 turned on. Within minutes of the engine check light coming on the vehicle started to lose power, going from 60 mph and decreasing its speed until it stopped running. The contact towed vehicle to a dealership. At the dealership they stated that the vehicle had no engine coolant, and that was the cause of the failure. The contact was concerned because he never got any indication or warning that there was a problem that needed to be serviced on the vehicle.
