ok guys and ladies: have 195,000 miles on 4 door suzuki suv(see title) and love it. no tire problems, buy the yokahamas every 35-40,000 miles. work as courier, 20 mpg, replaced left rear wheel bearing at 170,000 miles. problem: at 180,000 miles check engine light came on, cruise control was disabled, engine ran rough fluctuating between 550-850 ...

Suzuki should put out a version that matches the Rav4 for off-road incompetence and interior decibel levels, and get the mileage ratings corrected. Maybe then a few of those Rav4 buyers would be smart enough to pass on the Rav4's Toyota cachet, and pocket up to $10,000.

We have recently purchased a Suzuki XL-7 (2005 model) which has done only 25,000 kms. When we start the car every morning it revs so high and when you put it into reverse it almost takes off like a jet.

I'm planning on buying a new subcompact SUV in the next 2 or 3 months. One of the vehicles I'm researching is the Grand Vitara (Toyota's RAV4 & Hyundai's Santa Fe are other options, although I might expand that list...). I have a few questions about the Four-Mode 4WD, which is quite intriguing to me. My questions are...

The engine is built at the Suzuki plant in Sagara Japan based on GM's aluminum V-6 used in the Cadillac CTS. The platform, while similar to Equinox, is stiffer, longer, and a skosh wider to accomodate a third row of seats. (Note: GM now only owns about 3% of Suzuki stock). It is assembled in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada.

BMW is bringing out entry level sport coupes, compact sedans, and compact SUV's (like the X3) Love it or hate it design like other BMW's coming out at the moment (excluding 2004 BMW 5 and 2005 M5) like the 6 Series picture Edmunds has recently released to the public. I will update if I get anymore information.

I bought my Suzuki Esteem Wagon GLX+ wagon at the end of August 2000. I had to replace the front brake pads after 18,000 miles. Most of my driving is on the highway. Is this normal, or is Suzuki using inferior material in their brake pads. I replaced the pads with full metallic Bendex pads - they should last awhile.

OK, thanks. Don't know the production date on the vehicle I drove, but I'm headed over to see about this. Also, Got a reply on another forum: TSB No. TS 04 10255 Division: Automotive Section Title: Driveline/Axle Category: Technical SUBJECT: FRONT DIFFERENTIAL REAR MOUNTING BRACKET AND/OR REAR DIFFERENTIAL DYNAMIC DAMPER …

Sludge buildup sounds exactly like my problem stated in response # 46 on this thread. The dealer told me it was rust on the cams ,,they ended up keeping the suv for 2 weeks and changed alot of parts in the engine. Its a lemon,,,,Suzuki has sold a crummy vehicle with this 2007 xl7. Wish I never went there.
