“The Suzuki windshield is leaking and causing the car interior to mildew and mold the windshield is a recall item but what about the smell and health concerns breathing problems constant upper lung infections from a car defect this is a issue.

“I'm the original owner of the 2007 xl7. I purchased my vehicle in july of 07 and I have had nothing but problems and countless repairs. I have to drive my car alot with 5 active children so I'm out of warranty. The first issue started with the electrical system at about 50k miles the system would shut down and lock you in the car this was the computer that wasn't covered under the power train warranty so it was out of pocket cost of about 1100.00 dollars. I got the corp office to pay half after putting up a fuss. …”

“I purchased my xl7 new from shortline Suzuki in 2009. It has 43,000 miles on it and it has developed a noise in the steering column, I had the dealership check the issue and was told the steering rack needed replacement, I have driven this vehicle for only 2 years!! This is a defect, not an isolated incident, as many have complained here and in the Suzuki forums. I also have had water leak into the vehicle from the sun roof as reported by another owner. I cannot express how disappointed I am with the quality of this vehicle. …”

“I am the original owner of a 2007 Suzuki xl7. Due to disabilities in the family I put several miles on this vehicle. From the beginning I have several issues w/this vehicle. Because of Suzuki's lack of concern/interest I have decided to make formal complaints about the safety issues today. If I was to list all problems with this vehicle I would be here all day. Out of 4 passenger windows we currently have only 2 functioning. When diagnosed I was told that one window was the motor and the other was electrical. …”

“I bought by 2007suzuki xl7 in december 2006. Ever since that time I had many different problems. The main one being the windshield wipers. Whenever it rains/snow heavily, the wipers fail to work on the low and normal speed. In order for me to make them work, I have to put them on the high speed first and then shift the wipers down to the lower speed. When I went to the dealership to complain, they actually told me that there was some sort of recall on the wipers, so they went ahead and changed them. That never fixed the problem. On 5-10 more occasions, the wipers failed to work again. …”
