Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES W/MY 2007 SUZUKI XL7. HOWEVER, THE MOST CONCERNING IS THE STEERING WHEEL PROBLEM. NOT ONLY HAVE I HAD WORK DONE ON THE RACK IN 2008 BUT THE NOISES HAVE RETURNED. OUR LOCAL SERVICE STATION SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE NOISE NO MATTER WHAT THEY TRIED. YET, WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR I IMMEDIATELY HEARD THE NOISE, WENT INSIDE TO GRAB A TECH AND MADE HIM RIDE W/ME TO HEAR THE NOISE HIMSELF. HE SAID THAT THE NOISE WAS DIFFERENT FROM BEFORE AND SIMPLY WAS A RUBBER SEAL THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE SAID THAT IT WASN'T COVERED AND "I WAS SAFE TO DRIVE W/IT LIKE THIS". I HAVE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS W/THIS VEHICLE THAT I'M NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR. I DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START IN REFERENCE TO WHAT SHOULD BE FIXED FIRST. FINANCIALLY IT IS A BURDEN AND MOST DEFINITELY AN IRRITANT AS I AM MAKING MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE THAT IS IN MAJOR NEGATIVE EQUITY! I HOPE FOR MY CHILDREN'S SAKE THAT NOTHING MAJOR GOES WRONG IN THIS VEHICLE WHILE WE ARE RIDING IN IT! *TR
