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.

Received check engine light and codes were as before pointed to a stretched timing chain. This is the second time for this vehicle. Dealership said this time it was from low oil pressure. Why was there not a low oil pressure light if it will ruin engine components? Suzuki has a tsb for timing chains and individual part numbers for these kits which tells me there should be a recall.

No sign of any external fluid leaks, and repair facility stated vehicle has not been in before for low oil, vehicle has been in before for oil changes no notes relating to low oil. This is the same story as many related issues with the suzuki engine. The official report is uploaded as well. If there are no issues with engine, then why did suzuki put out timing chain service kits specific to this error?
