2007 Suzuki XL7: doors won't lock, open or latch

Filed Nov 18, 2014 · Electrical, Engine · 60,000 miles · FL

It is a shame this vehicle has not been recalled for any of the problems we have encountered. 1. Steering wheel is difficult to turn at slow speeds and makes loud rubbing noise. 2. Door locks will not unlock using key fob. Have to manually unlock by hand from the inside. I consider this a danger. 3. Vehicle will not maintain one speed on its own. Even with cruise control, the car's power decreases. I am petrified to pull out in traffic with this car. 4. Sunroof leaked all over into the interior electric due to improper installation from the factory. 5. Turn signal switch does not work. 6. Heating and cooling system does not work properly. Can only adjust temp if you set it on windshield defrost mode. 7. Rear end has strange bang coming from it. Dealer can't determine any problem.

I own a 2007 suzuki xl7 the service airbag light came on and after spending a good sum of money to find out why by a local certified mechanic I was told that the passenger seat sensor was bad ??? I called the local dealer and was told that the connector was under recall and the seat sensor had alot of bulletins to bring it up and they should handle it leaving the vehicle with them I waited for the call they called the afternoon and said it would be $1056 for a new bottom seat and the airbag would not work.so at this point suzuki and its partner gm would be responsible for yet more injuries and possible deaths for failing to recall the passenger seat sensor !!!! Showing once more just like the ignition switch that money it cost for recalls is more important that human injuries and lives !!! As well as customer loyalty.... I my self have done simple searches and found more than a few outside of this the federal safety agency site and the dealer are aware of the problem with out having to research so much so that they knew what I was talking about at the first mention of it. ... Come on this is a airbag issue not a broken door handle or a rattle this is serious !!!

The chrome plating on the interior door handles have started to peel and caused a painful bleeding cut.

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.
