Cushion was change and diagnostic still shows like cushion wasn't changed

The passenger air bag is no longer in service according to the symbol on the dash board.

- Interlaken, NY, USA

The airbag light is consistently on and when I took it to the dealer I was informed that it's the passenger seat that is causing the light to be activated. Why should I have to pay the dealer approximately $2000 to replace the passenger seat after the warranty ran out? Suzuki should be held responsible if someone is hurt or possibly killed if there is an accident and the airbag isn't activated, because of a seat mat that they placed in the vehicle on the passenger side. It seems that other driver's of Suzuki SX4 cars have the same problem.

I took my car to the Mitsubishi dealer that is handling Suzuki repairs for Suzuki in response to the recall for the passenger seat sensor issue related to the airbag. The dash light for airbag error no longer appeared after that fix, but it returned within three months. The Mitsubishi dealer said that I would have to pay to get it fixed.

Brakes have had to get worked on 2X before it hit 50,000, clip on driverside mat broke after 2 months of having car, door panels on both front and back passanger side kept falling off and kept taking car back to fix till they had no replacement parts this car should not be on the road there are many safety issues blind spots because of the design, and all the little issues from 2 batteries replaced to 2 sets of brake jobs to electricals to 3 sets of tires, and the car only has 80, ooo miles or less. I've had it 9 yrs mostly as a second car and always problems including paint.

Airbag light has been on in the instrument cluster for four years. After recieved recall notification via mail (1 year ago). Submitted request to fix passenger seat to the only Suzuki dealership on ohau, Hawaii and they stated, "my vehicle didn't fall under the recall" and that they needed to repair the entire airbag system. They couldn't pin point the problem and refused to contact Suzuki technical representatives. As the second owner and active duty military, I cannot go back to the state in which I bought the vehicle due to military orders to have any other Suzuki dealership fix this. Additionally, with the saftey inspection laws in Hawaii, I cannot register this car in this state unless pay for the entire replacement of the airbag system or wait till the dealership changes thier mind about doing the recall on my car. This situation I am in now is unsatisfactory and puts my family and my self at risk.

No incident. Need help where to take vehicle for safety recall (passenger seat cushion) and I do not know where to call to. No dealer nearby -live on an island in Alaska. Please contact me by email. Will need at least a week off work and more than $1,000 to get to dealer and back. Will have to put car and myself on a ferry- 3 days one way. What is possibility of sending new parts with instructions to a mechanic here to do the work on behalf of Suzuki - the one where I usually I take my car for check ups?

I was crossing a street (with the green light) entering the driveway to the apartment complex, there is a dip at the entrance to the driveway so I was doing about 3 mph. A Dodge durango SUV, ran the "red" light and struck my vehicle on the passenger side front door totaling the Suzuki, knocking the car about 20 feet sideways, and rendering me unconscious.. the durango was doing approximately 45-50 mph upon impact, he was not looking where he was going, he was talking to his girlfriend, and consequently did not apply the brakes, until he struck my car. None of the air bags deployed on the impact, which added to the lateral direction of travel of my head and neck, causing severe whiplash. Suzuki has had problems with their air bag system for at least five years and there was a recall of the air bag sensor, which I never received. In fact I never received any of the recalls issued by Suzuki. I had driven the car over 100,000 miles without any problems at all, however the main impact safety feature was not operable and Suzuki knew it and failed to inform me. I am fortunate that I am alive, broken and bruised, but alive. My grandson is generally with me, and would have surely been killed, had he been in the car at the time of the accident.

The sensor light for the passenger air bag went on and wont reset the mechanic checked via diagnostic computer the light and said its a faulty sensor but changing it would require $1,500 passenger seat replacement because the unit is integral meanwhile the passenger seat belt light is on regardless if belt is engaged and I don't know the implications to the air bag functionality.
