What 2008 Suzuki XL7 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My stability traction light came on which turned stc off, in addition it turned off the awd. The power steering only works at faster speeds. I've almost wrecked this car on many occasions due to this. It's horribly unsafe in the rain. It will literally get stuck in a little mud puddle bc of the st n awd being off. So many complaints! It should be recalled soon! It's 7 passage vehicle I'm assuming mostly for kids n it's stc,awd,power steering just stops n it shakes when u slow down. I'm scared to death to drive mine especially in bad weather!!!
My SUV keeps shutting the stability control off for no reason everytime I scan the computer there is no codes and it just shut off randomly for no reason at all and suzuki dealerships say there is nothing wrong when there obviously is because when im driving on the city street and it just shuts it off while your driving it put you and the people in you car in a dangerous situation because in the progress of shutting that off the ABS goes off the transaction control goes off and the stability control stop working not safe at all.
Lost steering while driving,became very hard to steer. Cost $2300 to repair. Said defect started as steering rack and caused metal to go throughout the system and take out the pump also. Abs/trac control/stability lights among others come on and loose awd. Sunroof leak and paint peeling. Steering was lost again while driving 1.5 years later. Definite recall situation.
My 2008 xl7 serivce stability control and ABS light stays on and it's very difficult to turn.
Warnings: service stability control, service traction control, awd off, ABS. Intermittently appears and goes away. No rhyme or reason, just nerve racking. Steering on the vehicle is hard.
My suzuki xl-7 paint has peeled off the back door and the top of the car a mechanic stated its a triple coat paint job because of the color which is pearl white. The is definitely a manufacture problem but they are pathetic. The paint is peeling so bad I'm scared to wash the vehicle because the paint may come off! Then the electrical is worse I get in the door chime goes through the speakers at high volume. The stability control keeps cutting off and on and so does the check engine light.
Driving and stability control, traction control light and engine light came on. Pulled over put in park and while sitting there speedometer shoots up to 80 MPH, notice the car is in park. The doors start locking and unlocking by themselves. Took it in to get fix they said its the rollover sensor paid to have that replaced. 3 days later samething happened. Apparently that's wasn't the problem. Taking it back to the shop.
When starting car the dash comes up stating stability control needs serviced and turns off plus my tracking control off. Then once you keep going will start working after 15 minutes. Its, crazy cause tried to talk to suzuki auto of america and they just blew off any issues and stated sorry can't help you out of warranty and said not a lot of people have reported it to be a recall. I was like it's a 30,000 dollar SUV and I said no wonder they went into bankruptcy. It's so upsetting not even that old low mileage and it's now on my SUV has 64,680 and still sane issue and more. Can't believe there isn't more out there not to have a recall. I would believe this is a huge safety issue cause of all the brakes and stability of car. Please help me.
All system warning lights are on. Not sure if there is a problem or not. The electrical stability control, check engine, ABS, and etc.
