The airbag system defect light went on and stayed on. The diagnosis from an authorized former Suzuki dealer (Lincoln of wayne, wayne, new jersey), charging approximately $270 for the diagnosis, was that the occupant sensing pad including the bottom seat on the passenger side had failed. This particular part had already been replaced under an NHTSA-related safety recall campaign approximately three years ago. The replaced part had not previously actually failed, but now the replacement part has failed. Contacting Suzuki headquarters in California, I found that they were saying the replacement part needed is not in stock and if it were in stock, they would be charging approximately $2700 for the part not including installation. Please contact Suzuki of America and have them produce more of the part and fund a campaign to replace the faulty replacement parts. Thank you.
Seatbelt light stays on all the time.
On September 12 2016 aproximately at 2:00am my wife was impacted on the drivers side door waiting for the green light. The vehicle was at a stanstill when a Jeep late 90s model hit her full force on the drivers side door, luckily the fortification of the bar inside the door that goes across took the blunt of the impact and my wife only came out with minoir bruises and cuts from the drivers window. Neither the drivers airbag or the passenger airbag deployed and that concerns me because the vehicle wass estimated to be going around 40mph when it impacted my wifes car. Ive notified my local dealer where Suzuki vehicles are dealt with and its been said that since theres no recall theres nothing to be done.
