We got into our car at the airport after a friend drove my car over & picked us up. The car was running when we got in. As soon as my husband sat in the front passenger seat, the clock started flashing & airbag light came on & stayed on while driving. I called the dealership, they want to charge $110 to diagnose the issue & approx. $2000 to replace the passenger seat if diagnosis shows the seat malfunctioned. They told me it is safe to drive but the airbags will not deploy in a crash. This does not sound safe! Suzuki should be required to fix this problem free of charge since there are so many other complaints of the same problem happening on this year & model of Suzuki. This is a safety issue, it is not a cosmetic problem with the truck.

The vehicle was traveling on a secondary road, posted speed 45mph, due to icey,and snowey conditions , driver traveled at @ 30 mph. Cresting a hill the vehicle hit a snow covered ice patch. , on the down hill side the vehicle moved right the left before my daughter ( the driver) could react the vehicle veered into the tree. My daughter hit her head and face on the steering wheel and my wife hit something that could not be readaly identified and recieved a gash in the middle of her forehead , a concusion, and her leg was jammed unde the dashboard. The leg was not broken but she does need to wear a keg immobilizer for a few days. Most of the damage was to the left front of the vehicle and towards the center. With the size of the tree and the amount of left front damage one would expect to have the drivers side airbag deploy at the very least. While none of these injuries are life threatning, I have great concern , because our family has 3 1999 grand vartars I drive one , my wife drives one and her sister drives one. This may all change very soon. , depending on what we do or do not find out about this situation. I see on you site there have been several reports of grand vartar owners reporting airbag problems. How many will it take before someonre thakes this problem serious.
