2 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 01/08/2014

I have owned this car since 2007. The airbag light on the dash keeps turning on. Every time I take it to the dealer he said that there is no problems with the airbags and that the scanner is not picking up the code. He resets the system and the light goes off and every fee months I have to take it back to do the reset and im paying $55 for each reset at least 3-4 times a year since I got this car. Also the dealer told me that o have to dk these resets because everytime the light turns on it means that the airbags are disabled l and it is a safety issue. So I take it regularly every few months to reset it. This has to be a recall through Suzuki because it is a problem.

Failure Date: 11/25/2011

I bought this car used at 98000 miles in 2011 and since then I have had airbag light staying on every 4-6months or so ( the drive side). . . Then I would take it in to the dealership and they would replace the censor, etc and reset it. Am really frustrated with this, there must be a faulty sensor/part of the airbag with 2006 Suzuki florenza airbag.

Failure Date: 04/07/2011

2006 Suzuki Forenza wagon issues so far: 63k - check engine light came on and a line through the d on the instrument panel showed up, which acts like the car is in neutral. When trying to accelerate the car has no power. If you pull over, turn the car off and restart it then the car is back to normal. It has done this 4 times now in the past 2 weeks. 60k - a couple of months ago the window washer pump went out and I had to replace it. I did it myself and it still cost me $85. Front seatbelt acts like it latches but then comes back out (this problem was recalled). 40k - the air bag light is also lit up on the car.

12 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 08/16/2007

The check trans/motor light came on in my car . I made an appt. At Suzuki. It was on for 6 days. It went off, then the air bag light came on. It stayed on. I mentioned that there were loose wires hanging under my seat when I dropped it off. They said a wire came loose and that I should not put anything under my seat . I say that the wires are so loose that if someone put there feet under the seat, there feet could get caught up in the wires and unhook them. Then my airbags won't work, correct? . If I get in an accident and they don't work, would that be considered unsafe? the dealer said the wires had to be loose because the seat moves and that nobody could get there feet caught in the wires. Loose wires under a seat that control a safety device. . Sounds unsafe to me. . I took it in for the passenger side airbags right after I bought it. . They said wasn't broke and gave me a letter that says the passenger airbag light will come on if the passenger is not seated correctly in the seat. . Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. They fixed it this time, too much resistance.
