I was involved in a front end collision where I T-boned another vehicle and my 2006 Suzuki Grand vitara became immobilized because the impact was so hard that the driveline broke. But the driver airbag did not deploy at all!

My 2006 Suzuki Grand vitara has blown at least 4 head lights since I bought the vehicle. Suzuki says that there is a problem with the transistor to the lights, in that it gives too much power to the lights, thus causing it to blow prematurely. They have not issued a recall, Suzuki needs to do something asap!!

A recall notice has been issued on the OCS sensor mat installed in the front passenger seat, which may fail due to repeated flexing of the mat from use of the seat. Unfortunately, there is no local service center to my area to fix the issue. The nearest contracted service center is 60 miles away and in los angeles traffic, freeway time alone is a 3+ hour round trip - not including wait time for repair. Do I need to wait until the airbag explodes and decapitates a front seat passenger, prior to the part being transferred to a local service center?

The contact owns a 2006 Suzuki Grand vitara. The contact stated that an unknown recall repair for the air bags was performed two years ago. The remedy failed to provide a solution and the air bag warning indicator continued to illuminate. The dealer (big red sports/imports, 418 N interstate dr, norman, ok 73072, (405) 364-4400) was notified of the failure. The contact was waiting to determine if the manufacturer could provide a solution. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.

The vehicle was shipped to a Suzuki dealer in puerto rico and then shipped back to the usa. Once shipped to puerto rico, Suzuki provides a specific VIN as vehicles exported out of the usa. The vehicle was shipped back to usa in 2009 and ever since I have received three safety recall notifications to have done by local Suzuki dealer. We contacted the local Suzuki dealers several times and the VIN does not appear in their system at all. I been told they will not service my vehicle being that it was ship from puerto rico and the only place they would fix the recall would be there. I have contacted corporate Suzuki multiple times and been told they can't do much to try to negotiate with the dealer again which has refused to do the service. I have been many hours explaining my situation to different individuals from dealer and Suzuki and never come to a solution after several months. I'm told that vehicles shipped to puerto rico (us territory) and back to us are not covered under these safety recalls despite I am receiving the notification to my Ohio address. Its been several months we been trying to solve this issue and always get the run around. One of the recall is related to air bags and differential train locking due to faulty seal. The vehicle was being driven by my daughter for school and we've now have restricted her from driving the vehicle concerned for these issues. We would appreciate any support or assistance you may provide to solving this issue.

I have tried numerous times through safercar.gov to check if the airbags I have in my car are on the recall. I get no response. I would appreciate if you can check to see if my car's airbags are ok. A response would be greatly appreciated.

Notice while driving that the passenger seat belt light came on showing that my passenger wasn't buckled in even if the seat belt was on and that air light warning light came on the dashboard. This is the second time this has happen. This problem happens if there is a passenger sitting in the seat or even if no one is sitting in the seat. Seat sensor was replaced once already back in 2008, covered by car warranty but not sure if it will be covered this time again as I have 134,000 miles on the car already. Waiting for response from dealer about the situation.

A hot day or any bag weighing over 5 lbs. Will trigger the passenger seat sensor for the air bag. The only way to stop this problem is to permanently buckle the passenger seatbelt.

I was traveling on the highway at about 55 miles per hour when the passenger airbag and seatbelt light came on. Then the dash airbag light came on and stays on constantly. Now the passenger airbag light comes on and goes off at any time with or without a passenger.

- Lancaster, PA, USA

The passenger seat belt indicator stays on regardless of having someone sit in the seat or not. The air bag warning light is also on all the time. I have checked the wiring and nothing seems to be wrong with it.

The sensor built into the passenger seat that controls the airbag is defective. The fix is a $2000 total seat replacement. Unacceptable. The car thinks a door or hatch is open and turns the overhead light on and off all the time. Another sensor. You have to be houdini to install a bulb in the front light assembly and the bulb is held by a rinky dink clip that doesn't hold so the front lights are subject to going out. The clip won't hold the bulb in place and even the dealer has problems when your bulb burns out or many times just becomes loose.
