Consumer Description

MY 2007 SUZUKI XL7 WAS BEING SERVICED FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS FOR ENGINE TROUBLE. THE DEALER CALLED ME AND STATED THAT DURING A TEST DRIVE THE STEERING HAD SEVERELY TIGHTENED UP AND WAS HARD TO DRIVE. THEY CALLED BACK AND QUOTED THE FIX TO BE ABOUT $2800. THE DEALER STATED THEY HAD SEEN THIS ISSUE BEFORE AND THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE STEERING SYSTEM FOR THE XL7. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT SUZUKI WOULD NOT PICK UP ANY OF THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINT FROM MANY 2007 XL7 OWNERS AND EVEN SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR STEERING PROBLEMS FOR THE 2006 MODEL YEAR. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I AM VERY DISAPOINTED WITH SUZUKI AND THERE LACK OF ACTION ON THIS MATTER. *TT
