I am the original owner of a 2007 Suzuki XL7. I bought my vehicle from talisman Suzuki in houston back in September of 2007. Five months after I purchased the vehicle I began to have issues with the tire monitoring systems. A year later at 50,000 miles I noticed that my vehicle was hard to steer, so I took it into the dealer. I have a 100, 000 mile bumper to bumper warranty but I was told that the power steering pump was leaking and that is what was causing the hard steering. I informed the dealer that my vehicle has never leaked power steering and too this day I have not added any power steering fluid and my power steering reservoir is full. I promised myself that I would never buy another Suzuki because I am a faithful buyer, I have had nothing but Suzuki's since I started purchasing vehicles in 1990. I was very disappointed in Suzuki for not trying to solve this problem. I hope and pray that the vehicle does not lock while I am transporting my children. I contacted the marketing person and Suzuki and they did not offer any solutions besides paying $1000 to get it fixed. Recently I took my vehicle to get an oil change and the mechanic there told me that it is a rack pinion issue and that I was not the first person with that problem on the Suzuki XL7. The mechanic informed me that there was a recall of this issued because he has called the dealer for some of his clients and Suzuki fixed there problem eventhough they refused in the beginning.
