I purchased my xl7 luxury new in 2007 with only 368+ miles. Before I had driven the vehicle for 3 months, the stability control and traction control lights came on and I was forced to take the vehicle for service. Before my vehicle warranty expired, I had to replace the gas caps numerous times resulting in the replacement of my catalytic converter. Now before my vehicle reached 100,000 miles, I am forced to replace the electrical harness (or complete computer output). Pugmire lincoln mercury is the only dealership in my area that provides repairs for my vehicle. After the harness repair, the check engine light is back on, and the codes (in less than 3 months) reveal that codes: [p2099, p0157, p2272 and p2099] resulting that there is an oil leak, an o2 sensor problem and another catalytic fuel problem again. It is time for my 100,000 mile check-up, but I cannot get past the original problems. These conditions continue and I love my vehicle. I was using my vehicle for to and from work of less than 11 miles daily. I have driven as far west as san antonio, tx and north to baltimore md and south to jacksonville fl. My ABS light continues to come on and my oil light flashes to instruct me to cut off the motor and tighten my gas cap while in motion.

I have a check engine light that has come on. I took the car back to where I purchased the vehicle, they tell me it is too bad. That the car was sold as is. I take the car to a local mechanic who says that I need to have the timing chain and tensioner replaced. It will cost $600 plus parts to repair. My vehicle has 116xxx miles. There is paint chipping, and my instrument cluster is showing the temp gauge on hot and rests in the middle position after sitting over night. A class action lawsuit against suzuki should be considered, because the number of complaints for this issue, and there has not been a recall, is outrageous. This is a 3 day repair job at minimum. Suzuki knew this was an issue, they should show some morality and ethics as to offer their consumers a remedy to this issue. Something needs to be done to rectify this problem. Before an accident or loss of life happens.

The check engine light is on in the vehicle and when checked by the dealer, the cams and timing chain are not in timing. The cams have shifted and the timing chain may be stretch. Seems to be a common failure to all of these vehicles and there should be a recall for this situation. Also due to the check engine light the remote start isn't working either.

My vehicle had the initial issue of the gas leak one week after purchase. My heat stopped working in 2010 and now when the car is stopped for gas, it won't restart normally, have to twist the key in the ignition several times before the vehicle starts. The engine light stays on and no one seems to know how to get it off making it difficult to get my car inspected. Any recalls that would explain any of these issues?
