Used 2007 Suzuki XL7 Luxury 4dr SUV AWD w/3rd Row (3.6L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Mucho Disappointment
My previous post "Disappointed on 08/14/2007" describes our early issues. Since then, catalytic convert changed, in shop 3-4 times because of engine shutting off in traffic, engine light on sporadically, engine stumbles sporadically, fuel gauge acting up, passenger dashboard airbag panel cracking. Everything in this vehicle is controlled by the computer, fuel, timing, transmission, etc. I have asked the dealer several times to please replace it. They "Will not replace one unless a catastrophic failure occurs." Overall hatred for this vehicle and frustration of trying to get it fixed has made ownership of another Suzuki product impossible.
Can I Change My Mind?
The day after we brought it home we noticed fluid spots in the driveway. Under 3000 miles and the seals in the transfer case had to be replaced. The vehicle seems different now. At first we thought that we were experiencing road feedback because the vehicle feels like it's surging ever so slightly. But while on a smooth road recently, it felt like the transmission stumbled a couples times and then caught again because it pushed me back into the seat when it occured and it felt like a hard thunk. The vehicle is going back to the dealer for a look see but I doubt that they find anything. I also noticed today that a bolts holding the drivers door stop on are working themselves out. I want out!
