MY RACK AND PINION WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY 8/2010 AT 30,000 IT WAS MAKING A ZIPPING NOISE. A YEAR LATER AT 47,000 THE SAME PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED AND SUZUKI REFUSES TO COVER THE 1000.00 REPAIR. I HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO HELP. I AM OUTRAGED BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN TO SUZUKI AND THEY DONT CARE! EVEN THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE REPAIRED THIS MANY TIMES IN OTHER SUZUKI XL7 WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SUZUKI CLAIMS THE CAR IS STILL SAFE AND IT IS ONLY A NOISE ISSUE BUT I DONT FEEL SAFE, ITS THE STEERING!! I GUESS THEY EXPECT US TO KEEP DISHING OUT MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS KNOWN FAULTY AND OBVIOUSLY KEEPS REOCCURING.IT IS ALSO OBVIOUS THE REPAIRS ARE BEING DONE WITH THE SAME FAULTY PART THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. SUZUKI NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THERE MISTAKE. *TR

THIS TIME I HAD 65,000 KM (43390 MILES). THEY FOUND THIS TIME ABOUT THREE POSSIBLE PROBLEMS, BUT SINCE THE WARRANTY OF THIS VEHICLE HAD EXPIRED, I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. NOW, THE LEAKING, THE NOISE, AND THE MANEUVER HAVE BECOME MORE CRITICAL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC SHOP. THEY FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE A SEAL DAMAGED WHICH CONNECTS TO FRONT SIDE TIRE (THE DRIVER SIDE)AND RECOMMENDED ME THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE STILL NEW (2008) I SHOULD CONTACT CHACON SUZUKI ABOUT THE WARRANTY.

LAST MONTH IN AUGUST MY HUSBAND STAYED IN THE CAR WHILE I RAN INTO STORE, OUT OF HABIT I LOCKED THE DOOR WITH THE AUTO LOCK CONTROL. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND THE TEMPERATURE IN AUG. IS EXTREMELY HOT. AFTER A LITTLE WHILE HE WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR AND COULDN'T OPEN THE DOOR OR ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN IT WAS ALL LOCKED UP. HE DIDN'T HAVE HIS KEYS TO MY CAR ON HIM AND TO TOP IT OFF HE HAS CLAUSTROPHOBIA. WHEN I CAME BACK TO THE CAR HE WAS BLASTING THE HORN AND SCREAMING AT ME FOR LOCKING HIM IN. HE DID NOT HAVE HIS CELL PHONE ON HIM THAT DAY EITHER. I TOLD HIM TO JUST UNDO THE LOCKS. HE TRIED. I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM SO HE LOCKED ME IN THE SAME WAY. I COULD NOT GET OUT EITHER. HE WOULD HAVE HAD TO KICK THE WINDOW OUT TO GET OUT. HE IS SO TRAUMATIZED OVER THE EVENT THAT HE HAS NIGHTMARES OVER IT. THIS IS A REALLY BAD SAFETY FEATURE. *TR

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
