“See NHTSA campaign id number : 03v512000 in december 2004 purchased a Suzuki xl-7 for $15,000 cash with 24,000 miles in april 2005 I stopped at a stop sign, signaled to make a left turn. The car spun from the rear causing it to go out of control and into a wall. The whole front end was smashed, repairs are going to cost me $9,000 in damages. Explained to Suzuki that this car was paid for in cash and that I only had liability. Suzuki is stating that they can't do anything cause the car didn't have full coverage, and the recall was sent to the original owner. …”
