Wiring Problems of Suzuki XL7

The engine overheated due to wiring shorting out on two fan motors. No fuse was tripped or light came on. Both motors shorted causing the connectors in the wiring harness to melt. Melting was discovered by local dealer. The wiring is being removed. I have pictures and I have documented the problem. The parts being kept due to seriousness of the defect.

I am the original owner of a 2007 Suzuki Xl7. Due to disabilities in the family I put several miles on this vehicle. From the beginning I have several issues w/this vehicle. Because of Suzuki's lack of concern/interest I have decided to make formal complaints about the "safety" issues today. If I was to list all problems with this vehicle I would be here all day. Out of 4 passenger windows we currently have only 2 functioning. When diagnosed I was told that one window was the motor and the other was electrical. After paying $76. 00 to the dealership to identify the electrical problem they told me that they would need at least an additional hour (additional $76. 00) to find the wiring problem. I declined. I have made several calls to Suzuki, about their product, to which they have replied I have too many miles on my car and they will do nothing for me. Also, the latches that fold the middle seats down often stick. At any given time you can go to pull one up so as to fold the middle seats and they will not budge! we have already had this issue addressed way back in the beginning of owning the vehicle. When we brought it back in to have the multiple issues addressed (something Suzuki suggested we do to see if we could help) we were told that "they would need to be taken apart to see what the problem was". For a cost, of course. We do not let our daughters ride in the third row seating for fear that if something happened they could not get out!! Suzuki's rep (who I was told was on vacation and didn't know when he could consider our issues) quickly emailed back to the dealer "too many miles, not going to help". I cannot even begin to afford the multiple problems w/this car and the value has decreased so that trading it in is just not an option. My concern is that I drive my children in this car daily and everytime I hope and pray nothing major happens. My children now call the car the "lemon" or the "beater". As they too are well aware of all the problems w/the vehicle.

My 2003 Suzuki xl-7 started making noises and suddenly the engine died while I was driving on a major road at an intersection during heavy traffic. My car would not crank back up and I had to have a police officer help me push my car through the intersection and call a tow truck. The tow truck took my car to the local Suzuki dealership and service dept. The head mechanic informed me after inspecting the vehicle that my internal fuel pump burnt all my wiring harnesses up in the entire car. I was low on fuel that day and it was a miracle that the fuel tank did not blow up and or the vehicle didn't catch fire. The mechanic has recorded what he found and we have all the burnt and defective original parts. I have paid a lot and am still waiting for over two months without a car for the parts to get it fixed. A recall needs to be made and an investigation on the fuel pump that was installed in my car by the manufacturer Suzuki.
