Engine And Engine Cooling Problems of Suzuki XL7

My car was running when I checked it into the vechicle repair shop at firestone address of 2311 military rd niagara falls, new york 14304. When it got tolled back to my address it did not turn over. They said it was the battery but when I had a knew battery adjusted in my vechicle it still did not work. Therefore the issues is on the firestone repair to cover any charges at another shop to get repaired at the cost they charge.

Fumes coming inside truck from the gas causing inhalation and dizziness and headache. No leakage. Even when truck is turned off, the smell of gas is still strong. Fear of explosion.

Tl the contact owns a 2007 Suzuki Xl7. The contact stated that the engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The dealer (Suzuki depot, 936 e 3rd st, santa ana, CA 92701, (800) 338-9208) was contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and indicated that the vehicle was excluded from NHTSA campaign number: 12v597000 (fuel system, gasoline). The contact was uncertain if the part was still available and if there was a dealer that could provide the replacement part. The failure mileage was not available.

I had the timing chain replaced at approximately 100,000 miles under warranty. It had to be replaced at approximately 200,000 miles. The timing chain failed at approximately 210,000 miles and stopped running while being driven. The timing chain should not need to be replaced so often and I have heard of similar complaints on various web sites and from other sources.

My 2008 Xl7 has had many problems in the last couple of years. The sunroof has kept leaking into the cabin lights and into the driver's side ceiling requiring 2 visit to a body shop to fix the seal. My transmission control required replacing due to my car jerking between 2nd and 3rd gear. My driver's side window keeps coming off the track. My back doors no longer unlock except from the inside. My right passenger window no longer rolls down at all. Now my paint is peeling above both the driver and passenger windows. The paint looked bumpy and peeled off after a recent storm. Underneath is a white powder coating and it's rusted underneath as well.

Timing chain failure at 58,000 miles - did internal damage to engine. Needs new engine. Was fine one minute then went to start it and it would not start.

I was sold a vehicle without being informed that approximately 8,000 miles prior the vehicle had major engine issues, as the timing chains had to be replaced. The vehicle was sold with a warranty that the warranty company and dealership fail to comply with. I have contacted the dealership numerous times about various issues the vehicle has had since the first day of taking it off the lot, yet the dealer refuses to correct any issues. While I was driving home from work on route 65 in mid January, the vehicle begin to violently jerk and buck, while loosing speed. I pulled the vehicle over and turned it off, while still on the highway. I let the vehicle sit, having to the vehicle towed to be diagnosed. Once the vehicle was diagnosed, I found that the vehicle would need a new engine. After getting a second opinion, I found that the timing chains were probably the issue. I began to conduct research on the vehicle itself and found that the timing chains were changed at 97k. Now I am stuck with paying on a defective unsafe vehicle.

I picked up my wife for lunch and we stopped at a restaurant. When we got back in the car, it wouldn't start. We had to have it towed to a repair shop. The result: the compression that's supposed to be at 160 is at less than 60. The work to fix it is not worth the price. At 128,515 miles our engine is done. We still owe money on the car ($8000) and must decide between a new engine ($2000) or a complete loss of the car. We will be contacting an attorney and will sign on for that class action lawsuit. How is this legal Suzuki?.

The timing chain in the engine of my car snapped, causing damage to the valves and other parts of the engine which then gives me two options, replace the entire engine or buy a new car. Worst part? we still owe money on this car! if we'd known of these issues with the Xl7, we would have never bought it. Boy, what a predicament we're in now. I am wondering if a class action suit has been pursued against Suzuki for knowing about this problem but not recalling this make & model.

I just purchased this vehicle 9 days ago and took it through inspectin today. It failed due to the codes p0008,p0009,p0018,p0017,p0016 which are the timing chains and twin cam position sensors. The repair to the vehicle is $1500. 00 or more due to the extent of the procedure for the repair. I was told that this expense is my cost even though I only had the vehicle 9 days. This is an on going issue I have noticed with all these vehicles within the year of 2007. Suzuki told me that it is not in the man. Warranty anymore due to the miles. I really need help there is not even a recall for this issue.

Timing chains are faulty in the 2007 Suzuki xl-7 containing the gm 3. 6l motor. Need to issue recall. Very common problem with this engine. Engine could seize while in operation.

In georgia we are required to have emissions completed every year around your birthday. For some reason the car wouldn't pass because of codes p0018, p0017, and p0008. This seems to be a common trend with this particular vehicle. So I assume it's a manufacturer error. It's also common for the 2007 models as well. The mechanic stated that the problem is the timing on 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.

As I was driving the car, it came to a stop on its own . . I got out to see what was wrong, and I noticed that there was fire coming out of the back and the front of the car. As I ran away from the car I could see the fire dripping from the bottom .

Have had vehicle three years. Now they say the engine is gone and needs replaced but is not under warranty because I have too few oil change receipts. I tis nigh impossible to kep evryone of them considering I drive a good ways every day. Any documentation should be enough for tjhe warranty. It is a scam by crooked dealers and cheap parts for this to happen under 100,ooo miles. There are multiple forums online with similar problems with the same vehicle. It is a crime noone has launched a class action lawsuit against them yet. I would be entirely interested in joining one.

2007 Xl7 has the service traction control , service stability control , and engine reduced power, dashboard warnings story; 02/15 I was driving my 2007 Xl7 and the brake pedal got very sensitive and short and tight-quick gripping/biting. I had to touch it extremely lightly when stopping. A few minutes later the car started to tug, and pull back and just created resistance against me when I wanted to give it gas. It was similar to bad gas, like missing and sputtering, but it was different because the car was giving me resistance, not just losing power, I thought that the brakes were trying to seize up. After a stop light, I headed up a hill and the car just fought me down to a dead stop.

Family was traveling to town when we smelled something that smelled like wires burning. Upon inspecting the vehicle, the smell disappeared. Upon leaving the stop sign we were at, we traveled about a quarter of a mile & the driver (myself), started to smell smoke. I then pulled over to further inspect the vehicle at which time, I turned on the overhead lamp in the vehicle since it was starting to get dark, & noticed that the whole front dashboard at this point, was glowing red, orange, & blue & thick black smoke was boiling up on the entire inside windshield & that the truck on the driver's side was fully engulfed in flames behind the dashboard. I immediately got my children (teenagers) out of the truck & leaned over to grab my purse & saw that there was blue flames dripping down from under the dashboard onto the floor where my feet had previously been just seconds before. We all ran as fast & as far as we possibly could away from the vehicle to safety. Within 3 minutes of getting safely out of the truck (by the grace of god), the entire truck was fully engulfed in flames. The trucks windows had at this point, already had started blowing out & shattering & it was shooting huge basketball size fireballs out of the top of the truck into the fields that were beside the road we were on. The local fire department had arrived on the scene at 4 minutes after the truck had caught on fire, & the flames were nearly 30 to 40 feet above the truck. The fire department as well as the fire chief, determined the cause of the fire was due to an electrical failure and/or malfunction within the truck itself. I am just very thankful to the good lord that we all got out safely. If, I had kept driving, the fire department stated that we all could have passed out from smoke inhalation & possibly lost our lives that night. I just wanted others to be aware of this very serious situation.

The timing chains have been replaced twice in 2 years every time inspection is dew they always kick on light Suzuki refuses to fix issue but same motor as chevy equinox and they have issued a recall on chains . This recall should be on Xl7 as well has same issue same motor but nothing being done to fix problem. 2700 dollar repair every year to pass inspection. Their a lemon. ( junk).
