Own a Suzuki Grand Vitara 2007, in November 2008 the airbag passenger seat sensor fail, Suzuki replaced it, on 2009 December it fail again they replaced it, on 2010 it fail again this time they told me the warranty has expire, they ask me for $1000. 00 for it. I been searching the internet and this is a common problem that is happening to 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and think 2010 SUV. I think this is a malfunction of the part or other electrical issue. This could lead to airbag malfunction in a crash or unexpected airbag deployment, resulting in injury to the passenger. They have to fix this at no cost.
On October 2010, our vehicle turner on the airbag signal. It was determined that the passenger seat sensor was faulty. The part was out of warranty thus having to pay $1700 for the part and $107 for the installation. Early this year I am getting the same alarm again in an intermittent fashion. Now looking in the internet I found that this is a faulty part due to manufacturing errors. This is a frustrating issue. And now seems that nothing can be done. Why doesn't the japan corporation is liable for this. Now I have to risk the life of my family because I cannot afford to pay the same amount again for a factory faulty part.
Air bags on the front passengers side will not deploy as per the indicator light on the dash board when my wife uses a medically-required seat cushion. The local dealership and american Suzuki have refused to alter the settings on the seat sensor to make the activated at all times. No one other than myself and my wife sit in this seat; no children have ever or will ever be seated in the front passenger seat.
