3 Front Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/17/2008

We have a 2008 Suzuki Forenza. The passenger air bag will not activate with someone of an appropriate weight sitting in the seat when the car is started. If the car is running when someone sits down sometimes it will go off. The car has been to the dealer 4- 5 times and they say there is nothing wrong. This is a major safety risk for the front seat passenger. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
