“I bought ny 2003 Suzuki xl7 in march 2006 . I was putting gas in when the fuel tank door fell off. Before the warranty was up. I called the dealership he said it was not covered but could get me a new one and paint it for about $100.00. Why I just bought it less than 4 weeks ago used but I didn't expect it. I was shocked and so disappointed because I really like this vehicle.”

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. …”
