“In 2007 we purchased a new 2007 xl7 Suzuki. It now has 14,000 miles and is falling apart. First the luggage rack came loose- never had used it- I fixed this my self. Next the vanity mirror on the sun visor broke off. Now the drivers side door handle has falling off. All of this and every couple of weeks the check engine light comes on for a few days then goes off- the gas cap is not loose ! For the cost this car retails for you think it would last more than 1 or 2 years.”

“A couple of years ago when our xl7 was still under warranty neal Suzuki in fort worth, texas, fixed the squeaky noise in our steering wheel by replacing the rack and pinion. Today, july 14, 2010, the noise is back and has been back for approximately two months. I haven't noticed any performance issues with the steering other than it has been more sensitive than normal at freeway speeds, 60 and above. The noise is most annoying especially while maneuvering through parking lots. My mother-in-law and my wife's co-worker have experienced the same problem with their xl7s too. …”

“The contact owns a 2007 Suzuki xl7. While the vehicle was parked the contact noticed the driver and passenger side floor board were wet due to water leaking from underneath the dash board. There was also water inside the front interior lighting cover on the roof of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician stated the air conditioner lines were clogged and had to be flushed in order to repair the failure. After the vehicle was repaired, the failure continued to occur. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.”
