Problems with 2007 Suzuki XL7 TIRES

I have a 2007 xl-7 & the metal stem leading from tpms sensor in the tire just broke off which resulted in a blow out on the tire. had i not have stopped or been traveling at a high rate of speed like on the interstate it could have caused an accident. could you please look into whether or not this is an ongoing problem. i did some research & found several blogs of people reporting this to be a problem. thanks for your help! *tr

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. *tr
