See all problems of the 2007 Suzuki XL7 🔎.

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?.

Traction control system comes on vehicle slows down and wheels stop spinning, braking system becomes stiff, there seems to be a change in motor sounds when this happens. This has to be a manufacturer defect in this vehicle.

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.

My car speedometer is not working it started all of a sudden reading 120 miles an hour when I was driving 30 miles per hour also my speedometer reads 120 miles per hour when car is stopped.

My speedometer reads a different speed some times when I'm driving it will say 110 miles an hour when I'm driving only 30 miles per hour. Some times it will stick on at 55 miles per hour. Some times it just won't read at all while I'm driving it will be stuck in 0 miles per hour.

Was told that I was hearing a noise that wasn't there when the rack n pinion started to fail. And that the dash board was suppose to crack. I really don't have enough characters to tell you how unsafe this car is so I'll just give you a list. Which take another 100+ out off my pocket, I can't fix the car but must pay for the insureance. I also can't register the car. And it is to dangerous todrive any way. While Suzuki files chapter 11.

The contact owns a 2002 Suzuki Xl7. While driving approximately 55 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the vehicle abnormally accelerated. The brakes were engaged and the vehicle slowed down with a loud grinding noise. The manufacturer was notified of the problem and they advised the vehicle be taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who was unable to duplicate problem. The approximate failure mileage was unavailable.

The contact owns a 2005 Suzuki Xl7. While driving 2 mph the brake was applied but the vehicle accelerated forward causing a crash. The vehicle was not towed. The dealer could not determine the cause. The incident reoccurred at 23,000 yet, there was no crash. After putting the vehicle in drive before applying the accelerator pedal, the vehicle lunged forward. The current mileage was 23285. The failure mileage was 20000.

Speedometer will occationally work. Most times will stay at 0 and other times will work. I bought the truck like this so I don't know whwn it started.

Brakes made loud grinding noise, have had brake pads/liners replace 3 times in the last several months. Problem will not resolve. Brake pedal becomes mushy and abs has failed several times. Seat belts lock and stay locked at the slightest braking pressure and/or vehicle speed and do not release for several minutes. This is a serious problem that no one seems to want to address.

First occasion approx 1/04 - backing up out of a parking spot and car accelerated uncontrollably on its own. I put both feet on the brake and still could not stop vehicle-had to put car in park to stop. If someone was in back of me I would have caused a crash. Simultaneous with this incident, I received a recall from Suzuki for this particular problem and took car in for recall service. Second occasion, 3/25/04 - waiting in line to go into car wash when car did the same thing-accelerated uncontrollably. Luckily no one was in front of me, if they had been I would have caused a crash. Again being unable to stop the car with both feet on the brake I had to put the car into park to stop it. I took the vehicle to the dealer where I bought it new and they have determined there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. Note - this was not reported to police, there was no fire or crash - I couldn't get those items to come up correctly.

While driving on flat road, the vehicle did not accelerate over 50-60 mph. The dealership was unable to duplicate the problem. The consumer purchased the vehicle with what she thought was minor cosmetic problems then they started to get worse as time went on, there was a dragging which came from the rear interior, the seat belt holders rattled, the leather seats had sink holes where the batting was coming from the leather, and there was a loud roar coming from the engine.
