2007 Suzuki Xl-7 Driver assistance Problems

I PURCHASED MY XL7 LUXURY NEW IN 2007 WITH ONLY 368+ MILES. BEFORE I HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE FOR 3 MONTHS, THE STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON AND I WAS FORCED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE. BEFORE MY VEHICLE WARRANTY EXPIRED, I HAD TO REPLACE THE GAS CAPS NUMEROUS TIMES RESULTING IN THE REPLACEMENT OF MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. NOW BEFORE MY VEHICLE REACHED 100,000 MILES, I AM FORCED TO REPLACE THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS (OR COMPLETE COMPUTER OUTPUT). PUGMIRE LINCOLN MERCURY IS THE ONLY DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA THAT PROVIDES REPAIRS FOR MY VEHICLE. AFTER THE HARNESS REPAIR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON, AND THE CODES (IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS) REVEAL THAT CODES: [P2099, P0157, P2272 AND P2099] RESULTING THAT THERE IS AN OIL LEAK, AN O2 SENSOR PROBLEM AND ANOTHER CATALYTIC FUEL PROBLEM AGAIN. IT IS TIME FOR MY 100,000 MILE CHECK-UP, BUT I CANNOT GET PAST THE ORIGINAL PROBLEMS. THESE CONDITIONS CONTINUE AND I LOVE MY VEHICLE. I WAS USING MY VEHICLE FOR TO AND FROM WORK OF LESS THAN 11 MILES DAILY. I HAVE DRIVEN AS FAR WEST AS SAN ANTONIO, TX AND NORTH TO BALTIMORE MD AND SOUTH TO JACKSONVILLE FL. MY ABS LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AND MY OIL LIGHT FLASHES TO INSTRUCT ME TO CUT OFF THE MOTOR AND TIGHTEN MY GAS CAP WHILE IN MOTION.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM COMES ON VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN AND WHEELS STOP SPINNING, BRAKING SYSTEM BECOMES STIFF, THERE SEEMS TO BE A CHANGE IN MOTOR SOUNDS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN THIS VEHICLE.

THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS A LEMON!! I BOUGHT MY SUZUKI 2 YEARS AGO USED AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED. AFTER I GET GAS IT SPUTTERS AND STRUGGLES STARTING. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. EVENTUALLY IT JUST STOPS RUNNING. I COULD NOT DRIVE MY SUZUKI MOST OF THE WINTER BECAUSE OF THAT AND NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT. THE SUNROOF AND WINDSHIELD LEAK. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT A COUPLE OF TIMES AND IT IS STILL LEAKING. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT DOESN'T WORK. THE TURN SIGNAL DOESN'T WORK. NOW MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. IT IS STUCK AT 80 WHEN IT IS PARKED AND THEN GOES UP FROM THERE WHEN I AM DRIVING IT. WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE IS GOING TO STOP WORKING. I AM SO FRUSTRATED, THERE ARE TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT IS UNSAFE!

THE SPEEDOMETER ON THE CAR DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY IF AT ALL WHEN DRIVING AS WELL AS THE THE FUEL GAUGE. THE CAR STARTED IT'S DINGY NOISE AS IF THE KEY IS ALWAYS IN THE IGNITION (WHEN OFF) OR A DOOR IS AJAR. IT WON'T SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING OR WHEN TURNED AND IT DRAINS THE BATTERY. THIS CAR HAS HAD MORE PROBLEMS AND SHOULD'VE BEEN RECALLED. THE FUEL PUMP WAS RECALLED BUT THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES THAT HAVE HAPPENED. DRIVING WITHOUT THE SPEEDOMETER WORKING OF THE FUEL GAUGE WORKING CORRECTLY SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND THE DEALER IS NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SUPER FRUSTRATING! DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE NOW FOR OVER A YEAR. HAVING TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE 3RD TIME.

THIS WAS THE 2ND TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. THIS TIME I WAS COMING BACK FROM A DRIVE ON THE HWY AND MY WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE. IT WAS A DRASTIC CHANGE OF A SMOOTH RIDE TO A WEIRD SHAKING. I EXITED THE HWY AND WENT THE STREET WAY. STILL IT DID NOT IMPROVE GOT WORST COULD BARELY ACCELERATE . THE BRAKES WERE SO SENSITIVE I BARELY PUSHED THEM DOWN AND IT STOPPED. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME THE AND PARKED THE CAR IN THE GARAGE IT STATED TO RUN HOT. SO I WANTED TO REMOVE IT OUT THE GARAGE IT WAS VERY HARD TO REVERSE I GOT IT HALF WAY OUT OF THE GARAGE AND GRABBED MY SON WE RAN BECAUSE IT WAS SMELLING HOT AND RUNNING HOT. *TR

2007 XL7 HAS THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL , SERVICE STABILITY CONTROL , AND ENGINE REDUCED POWER, DASHBOARD WARNINGS ON: STORY; 02/15 I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 XL7 AND THE BRAKE PEDAL GOT VERY SENSITIVE AND SHORT AND TIGHT-QUICK GRIPPING/BITING. I HAD TO TOUCH IT EXTREMELY LIGHTLY WHEN STOPPING. A FEW MINUTES LATER THE CAR STARTED TO TUG, AND PULL BACK AND JUST CREATED RESISTANCE AGAINST ME WHEN I WANTED TO GIVE IT GAS. IT WAS SIMILAR TO BAD GAS, LIKE MISSING AND SPUTTERING, BUT IT WAS DIFFERENT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS GIVING ME RESISTANCE, NOT JUST LOSING POWER, I THOUGHT THAT THE BRAKES WERE TRYING TO SEIZE UP. AFTER A STOP LIGHT, I HEADED UP A HILL AND THE CAR JUST FOUGHT ME DOWN TO A DEAD STOP. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER READS A DIFFERENT SPEED SOME TIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING IT WILL SAY 110 MILES AN HOUR WHEN I'M DRIVING ONLY 30 MILES PER HOUR. SOME TIMES IT WILL STICK ON AT 55 MILES PER HOUR. SOME TIMES IT JUST WON'T READ AT ALL WHILE I'M DRIVING IT WILL BE STUCK IN 0 MILES PER HOUR.
