Power Train Problems of Suzuki XL7

I purchased a vehicle used and the dealer committed fraud by not disclose previous accidents and or required previously know repairs. Engine light came on and the vehicle cannot be driven. Only had it 5 days and less than 100 miles driven. Dealer admits he knew about issues in email. Documents provided herein.

Bought this vehicle from original owner. After noticing some issues & looking back over carfax, repair report, & recalls online, I called Suzuki. Gave the VIN# and was told a recall was done in 2004 by dealer. When asked about the other recalls, she said there was no other recalls. All paperwork I have has no indications of the recall being done. I see 3 recalls on this site as well. What should I do or who should I contact?.

Tl the contact owns a 2007 Suzuki Xl7. While driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle decelerated and the traction control indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who was unable to repair the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an unknown service center where a diagnostic test was performed and the transmission was replaced; however, the failure recurred and the abs indicator illuminated. The dealer was not called. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that someone would call back. The contact was not called back. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 98,112.

This was the 2nd time this problem occurred. This time I was coming back from a drive on the hwy and my wheel started to shake. It was a drastic change of a smooth ride to a weird shaking. I exited the hwy and went the street way. Still it did not improve got worst could barely accelerate . The brakes were so sensitive I barely pushed them down and it stopped. By the time I got home the and parked the car in the garage it stated to run hot. So I wanted to remove it out the garage it was very hard to reverse I got it half way out of the garage and grabbed my son we ran because it was smelling hot and running hot.

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.

Lost steering while driving,became very hard to steer. Cost $2300 to repair. Said defect started as steering rack and caused metal to go throughout the system and take out the pump also. Abs/trac control/stability lights among others come on and loose awd. Sunroof leak and paint peeling. Steering was lost again while driving 1. 5 years later. Definite recall situation.

I'm the original owner of the the 2007 Xl7. I purchased my vehical in July of 07 and I have had nothing but problems and countless repairs. I have to drive my car alot with 5 active children so I'm out of warranty. The first issue started with the electrical system at about 50k miles the system would shut down and lock you in the car this was the computer that wasn't covered under the power train warranty so it was out op pocket cost of about 1100. 00 dollars. I got the corp office to pay half after putting up a fuss. Then the check engine light came on right afterwards and have pretty much stayed on and it keeps telling me the gas cap is loose which it's not but I purchased another gas cap but still same issue. I then had problems with the power steering hard to turn and making a loud noise which was another out of pocket expense of about 500. 00 and about 70k miles. My windshild wiper pump stopped working all the sudden. It would work on the back window but not the front and it has plenty of fluid in it. I have now issues with the timing chains and there are three different chains on the car and all will need to be replaced and this will cost another 2500. 00 per the dealership and about 15 to 17 hours to fix. Overall this is the worst vehical I have ever purchased and I regreat it daily. The inside is made of cheap materials. My mirrors under the sunvisors fell of within the first two months of buying the vehical. I would'nt wish this nightmare on anyone. This vehical isn't worth it and I'm paying for a vehical that I don't feel safe for driving.

I have a Suzuki Xl7 2007 keep making noise from the power steering like 2 plastic squce to eachother. I check my power steering fluid still looking full and I don't know why keep making noise from the power steering. I don't' know its going to safe to drive while making noise. Can some one do something about it because I hate it. I am going to trade for new car and not Suzuki car no more.

Initially stability control off warning message light lit up after starting engine--once every couple of weeks--message disappeared w/I 5 seconds. Then traction control off, stability control off, service traction control, service stability control, and awd off messages on every start up and is constant until car is turned off completely.

On Nov. 26, 2008 while driving on the freeway @ 70 mph, I experienced a catastrophic engine failure with virtually no advance warning and had to exit the freeway immediately. After costly towing and repair charges that I incurred from the Suzuki dealership, I was traveling on the freeway again and the engine failed for the exact same reason it had failed for previously. I was informed by the service dept. Of the Suzuki dealership that the cause of the engine failure was a broken thermostat. They supposedly replaced both heads, thermostat, and various other maintenance items were done as well. From the time I received my vehicle back from the dealership until the second engine failure was 6 days. I did receive copies of the repairs and services that they performed if you need them. Thank you.
