Replying to: hmusgrove (Dec 09, 2008 1:02 pm) I think that's the case, the airbag would not deploy, but I will do more research and maybe it's something simple...yeah right. I agree, $1300, forget it. Vehicles are so technically advanced now from when I was a kid tinkering with cars, It's just amazing. I guess the good side is that they are much more dependable, but when something goes wrong, a person has to get a second mortgage to fix the darn things. Good luck on yours too.   Ken

I have had mine in the shop 3 times in the past year. I'm taking it in again tomorrow. You just don't know what, if anything, electrical is going to work. Radio, air, tire pressure, airbags, stableization, brakes, anything with sound could black out at any moment. Then you wake up one morning and nothing works. You have to have it jumped to start it. What a joke! I wish more than anything I'd never purchased this nightmare.

Replying to: reachj (May 22, 2009 1:23 pm) Well, they kept my car for 6 days and can't find anything wrong with it. Pretty much just told me to bad. When I said it sounded like a computer issue he said no way. Then he told me he didn't open up a ticket and wouldn't make note of them even having the vehicle there because it was back with the same issues. Seems to me they don't want it turned in as a lemon. I've got a call into suzuki to demand they give me detailed info on what they did or did not do. And I'm filing the lemon paperwork tomorrow.

Replying to: lnocker (May 25, 2009 1:35 pm) Did they specifically check for loose ground wire? It took MONTHS and MONTHS to finally fix mine. Thsi was AFTER they recommended new battery, new alternator, new starter: Loose ground wire fixed the problem....

Replying to: lnocker (May 25, 2009 1:35 pm) By ALL means call the Customer Relations department. I spoke with Cathy. Perhaps if enough people call with same issue they will recall .....   It is in Brea, California if that helps....
#18 of 21 ME TOO!! by tealpower21 Jun 14, 2009 (3:15 pm)
Bought my 07 XL7 in Nov 06. Loved it so much. Still did until Wed a week ago when it would not start after I put gas into it. The check engine light came on the day before. Finally got it started and took it to the dealer. It was covered under my paid for extended warranty. (68000 miles) Got it back this past Thurs. ($1400) Drove it Fri and it did the same thing and the check engine light came on again. So they have it again. I just pray they actually fix it this time.   Also notice a sand paper sound coming from steering wheel and the air conditioner makes a funny gurgling noise.

Replying to: marymcguire (Nov 08, 2009 8:42 am) It sounds like one of your switches is stuck or broken.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
