The fault conditions of this vehicle cause the air bag mil to illuminate. Diagnosis verified a fault with the passenger oc mat/sensor and was replaced. The same fault conditions repeated with the same diagnosis of a faulty passenger oc mat/sensor and was replaced again. But even though the same part was replaced twice there remains a fault with the air bag system and diagnosis concludes that the same fault remains with the passenger oc mat/sensor. This seems to be a design/engineered and possible a software fault with the air bag system. No resolution has been achieved and concerns remain that the air bag may not deploy properly in the event of a vehicle crash. Please provide a written response to this complaint.

On January 15, 2013, I was driving on the expressway.

I have experienced two front end collisions to a Suzuki Forenza 2006. During both accidents the air bags did not deploy as designed to. The last accident on 5/5/11 ended in a total loss of the car due to a front end collision. The impact was such that the left front bumper and fender were damaged. This accident also buckled the hood of the vehicle and raised it at least 1. 5 higher than normal. This will give you some idea of the force of the accident. Suzuki was not interested in checking the vehicle out until just recently. I feel that if the air bags did deploy, especially on this last accident I would not have sustained any injury what so ever.
