#27 of 80 Re: Suzuki XL-7 - Problems & Solutions [bosco729] by kbrown1999 Dec 27, 2007 (3:40 pm)
Replying to: bosco729 (Nov 19, 2007 1:20 pm) Go to a Michelin dealer and ask them if they sell "Blue Streak" tires in that size. I put these tires on my wife's 02' and they have been great.They are a off brand of Michelin. I would NOT go with any other size, it will affect the handling. These tires only cost me $65 a piece. Any other brand is at least $110 a piece. This size of a tire is more of a performance tires so it is hard to find one with a more aggresive trend. If you have the factory Bridgestones- get rid of them. They wear too quick and are junk!
#28 of 80 XL7 4x4 not engaging by rjn2 Dec 28, 2007 (12:34 pm)
Could someone Please help on ideas? My wife has a 2002 XL7 4x4. She said the 4x4 started not engaging, some times would sometimes not. Now it’s not engaging at all. I got underneath; put it in 4 wheel drive and the front drive shaft hooks up, turn the front drive shaft, the rear one turns and the back wheels roll but not the front.

Replying to: rjn2 (Dec 28, 2007 12:34 pm) Make sure the tire pressures are the same for both sides of the same axle. For example both front tires at 26psi and both rear tires at 32 psi. It is very common in the cold weather for pressures to differ. The tire pressure must match on the SAME axle or else the tires rotate at different speeds. This cause your part-time 4wd to bind up and experience problems like you are having.   Hope this helps.
#30 of 80 Gears grinding by clb333 Dec 31, 2007 (8:24 am)
I have a 2002 Suzuki XL7 4x4. A few weeks ago I had trouble getting it into reverse and almost everytime I go to put it in reverse it grinds, and the past couple of days it has had trouble starting. It is almost like something is spinning but not catching. Any ideas?
#31 of 80 Service Engine Soon Light by winchesteraime Jan 01, 2008 (12:29 pm)
I am new to this forum, I own a 02 XL-7, it has been working great. Today the service engine light came on, I just recently had an oil change so I am not sure why. Unfortunately, I purchased the car without the owner's manual. Please if someone could tell me some of the issues that could cause this light to go on, also where is it possible to get a new manual? I checked on the Suzuki website and I could only get a manual as far back as 03. Thank you for any help.

Replying to: winchesteraime (Jan 01, 2008 12:29 pm) I am having the same problem they say in the manual that it comes on when the emission control system needs servicing my mechanic could not find where to connect their computer to it not only that but their new computer did not even have suzuki listed so it looks like a dealer run to me
#33 of 80 Dead Battery When Below 20 Degrees by ucrcash Jan 27, 2008 (7:38 am)
I have a 2007 Suzuki XL-7 when ever its below 20 degrees my battery is dead and car will not start. The dealer tells me to replace the battery but only happens in cold weather. Replies to this message: tidester (Jan 27, 2008 12:43 pm) kc5yti (Feb 12, 2008 9:48 pm)

Replying to: ucrcash (Jan 27, 2008 7:38 am) Car batteries don't charge well when they are cold. You can mitigate the problem by avoiding short trips. The battery needs extra time to recharge after supplying a large current to start the car.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
#35 of 80 stuck accelerator by jquick Jan 28, 2008 (6:24 pm)
I have a 07 XL-7 the other day the accelerator stuck on the highway it didn't just stick it was like the cruise control took the pedal away and floored it. I had to stand on the brakes to get it to slow down just to get out of traffic of course not knowing I could have just turned it off. Itgot towed to the dealer and they are saying nothing is wrong with it. I have already had the battery problem with it about a month ago and the vehicle has less the 3,500 miles. I am afraid to drive it. Has anyone else had this problem? Replies to this message: renee9 (Feb 19, 2008 1:42 pm) jquick (Feb 19, 2008 3:02 pm) renee9 (Feb 20, 2008 9:35 am) and 4 more...
