Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY XL7 NEW FROM SHORTLINE SUZUKI IN 2009. IT HAS 43,000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS DEVELOPED A NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN, I HAD THE DEALERSHIP CHECK THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THE STEERING RACK NEEDED REPLACEMENT, I HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE FOR ONLY 2 YEARS!! THIS IS A DEFECT, NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, AS MANY HAVE COMPLAINED HERE AND IN THE SUZUKI FORUMS. I ALSO HAVE HAD WATER LEAK INTO THE VEHICLE FROM THE SUN ROOF AS REPORTED BY ANOTHER OWNER. I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW DISAPPOINTED I AM WITH THE QUALITY OF THIS VEHICLE. I PURCHASED NEW SO I WOULD NOT HAVE SPEND TIME IN THE SHOP, YET I HAVE HAD A MYRIAD OF ISSUES. *KB
