Suzuki corp. won't stand behind this oddity- it is unusual to replace 1 alternator...never ... Read More

I have a 2006 XL7 with 34000 miles and I have had it at the dealer twice in the past three weeks. It is making a whistling sound that will stop when I turn off the air conditioning. The dealer says it is "just a charateristic noise" of Suzuki models. It is driving me crazy! I also have a squeak from the front suspention. Please HELP!

Could not change the radio, a/c or any other centrally located controls. ... Read More
