Replying to: jquick (Feb 19, 2008 3:02 pm) I had asked the dealer about it. They told me to bring it in and they will test drive it. Well, I am 99% sure that it would not accelerate when they test drive it! You can't make it do that.

Replying to: renee9 (Feb 20, 2008 9:35 am) Are either of you, cruise control users. I have only seen something like this, once, with ours. It was driving into town from the highway, and I had accidentally bumped the resume button for cruise control, which at set a 70mph. So, of course the vehicle started to accellerate until I realized that I had kicked the cruise back on. Otherwise, I have never seen this on our 2007. We have about 11K miles on it.   Regards,   Ivan, kc5yti Replies to this message: jquick (Feb 21, 2008 9:54 am) kc5yti (Feb 21, 2008 7:04 pm)

Replying to: kc5yti (Feb 21, 2008 9:10 am) I have never used my cruise control and none the less when you hit the brake the cruise control stops.The vehicle doesn't stop accelerating even when you are standing on the brake. Replies to this message: kc5yti (Feb 21, 2008 7:04 pm)

Replying to: jquick (Feb 21, 2008 9:54 am) Wow, never had that happen. I can't remember if the throttle is cable or by wire on the XL-7. I wonder if it could be the linkage binding or maybe till, the cruise actuator kicking in when it should not. I hope you are able to determine the issue. We own two XL-7s, a 2002 and 2007. We have been very happen with both.   Regards,   Ivan,

#46 of 80 2007 xl7 Defective Camshafts???? by ceuser Mar 08, 2008 (12:11 pm)
I bought a brand new 2007 xl7 in September 07. I have put nearly 8,000 miles on the vehicle . The check engine light came on one morning and I immediately took the vehicle to the dealer.Ok,,,The dealer called yesterday and they will have my brand new 2007 xl7 for at least a week. The codes coming up for the check engine light indicated that a misfire was occurring because the camshaft is defective. ???????  The camshaft ,,,along with the rocker arms have to be changed...???? This is completely blowing my mind.  Has this happened to anyone else? The dealer service guy said that this has happened to a few other 2007 xl 7s.,,but after the repair,,everything should be fine. I believe this is a huge job for a brand new vehicle. Engine work?????? Can anyone shed any light on this for me...??  Thanks for letting me share.

Replying to: ceuser (Mar 08, 2008 12:11 pm) Interesting for sure!!! , i also have a 2007 xl7, i also bought in september and have about the same milage. no probs for me.   I work at Cami automotive, the company that makes these for suzuki, in Ingersoll ontario, i have heard of no particular probs with the camshaft, or misfires, but i will take a trip up to our quality department for you and see if they know anything i don't!!  Jeff Replies to this message: ceuser (Mar 14, 2008 10:35 am) oswald008 (Mar 18, 2008 7:36 am)

Replying to: slinky1 (Mar 10, 2008 7:10 am) The xl7 is still in the shop,,,, waiting for parts and whatnot. The dealer service guy keeps telling me not too worry that the vehicle will be ready soon.   I have heard thru the grapevine that this has happened to a few other xl7s because of the manner in which it is shipped thru Canada. The interior of the engine is not covered and rust has been forming on the whatchamacallits. This sounds crazy but I hope they can fix this or else I want my money back. Its been 8 days in the shop already. I have to start looking up lemon lawyers.    At this rate ,,,I will be in line for a refund or a new vehicle,,,I ll take the money. I thought I had a good deal,,,but.............we shall see. Replies to this message: oswald008 (Mar 18, 2008 7:36 am)

Replying to: ceuser (Mar 14, 2008 10:35 am) There is one 2007 XL7 at Payne Suzuki Brownsville ,Texas, approx 1000 miles, dealer told me it's a 'rocker arm issue'. They pulled the engine last week and it's still there as of today on service rack with engine pulled.   I bought a new 2007 XL7 Limited AWD in Dec 2007 here is my list of issues: Jan 3rd 2008 heater will not work while in Aspen Colorado. Jan 5th 2008 DVD/Radio/CD will not work in San Antonio, Texas. Rear defroster 1/2 broken. (dealer replaced rear window completely) Feb 11th 2008 Engine shut off completely while driving!!!! rough idle heard and felt through out car, dealer check all OK. Two roof rack bindings will not stay down, dealer fixed per tech bulletin. Now all four will not stay down. Dealer order new roof rack rails with attached bindings. Climate control face plate/bezel will not stay in assembled location, pops out, Dealer replaced bezel. Mar 11th 2008 1st oil change. dealer suggestes replacing all wipers, under warranty. Mar 14th 2008 tighten fuel cap warning. Mar 16th rough idle and hesitations while accelerating from stop. Mar 17th check engine light (7865 miles) and tighted fuel cap warning, again, but I never touched it since tighten it last time and the light went away. Dealer witnesses lights and mentions that the tach was not moving between shifting from M/D/N/R/P. Rough idle witnessed by dealer, finally. Mar 18th in dealer service shop this morning - I'm completely frustrated and do not want this lemon anymore. I had a new 2006 Grand Vitara 4X4 never one issue that's why I bought the XL7.
#50 of 80 Still in shop (check engine light) by ceuser Mar 18, 2008 (3:30 pm)
My xl7 is still in the shop. First it was parts then they are still waiting on a few seals?????? This sounds pretty serious. Well,,Maybe it is a lemon!!!!!!  The dealer told me it was a misfire caused by a defective camshaft. They were going to put a new camshaft and rocker arms but someone told me that there are no rocker arms because it is variable valve timing or something.    Its funny you mentioned the climate control face plate not staying in position. Mine is doing the same thing,,,,I keep pusjing it back on but that is not my problem right now. I am waiting ....  cHECK ENGINE LIGHT came on at around the same mileage as yours. Weird...
