The vitara has recalls for both my issues but only until 2011 mine is 2013 and has the same issues as previous models did. I moved from hot weather state to cold weather and when winter arrived, the airbag light turned on and now the car takes very long to start. Apparently previous models had airbag sensors issues in cold weather and the fuel injection system as well. I don't understand why they did not do recalls for my model as well since these issues started as soon as winter arrived. These are very serious issues for a vehicle to have.

One day, I started my car, the airbag light came on, and the clock/temp was flashing, it hasn't gone away. I am unable to fix the clock, and when I went to the mechanic to fix the airbag problem, he called our local Suzuki dealership and he was told that this is a problem that has been known for years, and would cost me over $3500 just for the parts. I've seen other sites where people have had the same problem. On one forum I saw that some Suzuki dealerships were offering to reset the sensor module for free, but I wasn't offered that here (hawaii). I spent most of my day trying to see if there were recalls, but could not find any. At this point, being that the car is already 12 years old, having to fix this problem will cost more than the car is worth. I am unable to get a safety check, and am unable to drive it anywhere now. I feel that Suzuki should be responsible for the cost seeing that this seems to be a common problem with other owners.

The air bag sensor in my Suzuki Grand Vitara 2007 does not register when an adult sits in the seat. The passenger airbag turns itself off. Having takin the car to the dealer and was informed in order to fix I would have pay over 2,000 dollars to have the passenger seat replaced. Now a few months later, the passenger seat belt light stays on whenever anyone sits in the front seat as well as the air bag light on the dash even though the seat belt is buckled in. . This is a common problem with Suzuki Grand Vitaras. They refused to cover the seat and sensor under warranty when the problem first occurred and I do not have the 2,000 to replace the seat so I have had to deal with it. . . Had to learn how to adjust my self in the seat so that sensor would work properly but now it seems the seatbelt system is also failing. I think Suzuki should have to recall these vehicles and fix this safety issue. I found 100s of complaints online for the same exact problem. Now I can't even sell or trade in my vehicle because of this problem due to safety issues unless I pay the 2,000 to have the seat replaced. . Now I fear my airbags and or seatbelt may not work in the event of an accident. . Why is Suzuki not being held responsible for this design flaw. This is not the fault of the consumers and Suzuki should have to pay for repairs via a recall. .

This problem was first noticed at approximately 40,000 miles in 2009 but disappeared then returned in 2013. The clock/temp would flash and the passenger air bag light would stay on. At times we were able to stop the vehicle, turn it off, then restart and attach the passenger seatbelt only after the initial passenger seatbelt light came on and the flashing would stop. However the incidents have become more frequent and now the clock/temp continues to flash, the passenger seatbelt light stays on and nothing can be done to turn it off. Called the dealer who says the front seat needs to be replaced even though there are no codes when connected to the diagnostic computer. After talking to other Suzuki owners we found this has been a common problem and appears to be a defect in manufacture yet there have been no recalls.

Then a few minutes later I notice the passenger side seat belt light was on also and no one was present in that seat. On research on the internet I have learned this is a major problems with Suzuki owners of different models. A lot of vehicles with less miles then my vehicle, I can not get my car inspected or even trade it in with the light on and told it could cost me up to $1400. 00 to fix. Of course Suzuki does not care this has become a money maker for them. There has to be a defect in the air bag system they placed in the vehicles for so many people to be having the same problem. Of course the biggest problem is now the air bag are not going to work in a crash. Please check into this for all us Suzuki owners who are trapped. .

I have researched this on the internet and this is also common on the 2006 model also. It is happening to many 2006 and 2007 Grand Vitara Suzuki vehicles. It is a common problem for these vehicles and is a safety hazard. Suzuki wants over 1600. 00- 2000. 00 dollars to repair the problem. They informed me the warranty has expired after 36 months or 36000 miles. The parts to fix this problem is a dealer stock item only. Will it take many deaths for Suzuki to recall this and fix the problem. We need the help of the NHTSA because Suzuki will not take the responsibility nor admit that this a design fault for these vehicles. I am sure you have many reports of this issue and we the owners of these vehicles need relief. We cannot trade in these vehicles without having the expensive repairs made. While trying to trade in my vehicle the first question was is the air bag lights on in the dash and on the console. If the dealerships are aware of the problem and want the repairs done Suzuki knows there is a flaw in the seat weight modules, please help the many owners of these vehicles. I am the original owner of this vehicle and only have 37000 miles on my car. Will it take an injury, crash or fire to force Suzuki to recall this problem. I am afraid to drive this vehicle and only do so to go shopping or doctor appointments. I am disabled and cannot afford 1600-2000 dollars to repair something that Suzuki knows is a problem with all of these vehicles.
