1 Air Bag On-off Switch problem of the 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara

Failure Date: 03/04/2014

I received a recall notice regarding the air bags malfunction in the early part of 2014. In fact my air bag light stays on and will not turn off. I took my car to the recommended dealer, and waited 3 hours, while the dealer (big red) tried to sell me another car for all that time, only to be told 3 hours later that they didn’t have the part to repair this problem. This was done in March 2014 and to date - July 2014 as of this letter, I still haven’t been notified that they ever received the part, so this condition remains unfixed. Report receipt date: Sep 06, 2013 NHTSA campaign number: 13v405000 component(s): air bags could you please also help me with this, I noticed that I have replaced the same head lights over 4 times in one year, the last time the light went out the gentleman at o’reily’s showed me that the headlamp switch was burnt, and told me there must be some electrical problem with the switch and to be very careful. I did read where there are recalls for problems with overheating headlamp switch and module that poses a risk of fire. Please help me with these issues, where I can go to get these things repaired, and not just waste my time with a dealer who is just trying to sell cars and not fix the recalls, by the way I did call before I came and scheduled an appointment, so they knew what I came for and they told me to bring the car in for the recall of the air bag situation. Lastly do you think it is possible that my transfer case has anything to do with the power train recall? currently my car is still under dealer warranty so they are covering this repair, I was just wondering if you knew if these problems maybe related. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated! report receipt date: Dec 07, 2007 NHTSA campaign number: 07v554000 component(s): power train.

3 Air Bag On-off Switch problem of the 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara

Failure Date: 04/08/2011

The passenger airbag light came on and stayed on even when no one was sitting in the seat. Therefore, we returned the vehicle to the Suzuki dealer. The dealer stated it would cost over $2,000 to repair the electronic switch for the passenger airbag. However, we were informed that we could continue to operate the vehicle, but to note that the passenger air bag may or may not deploy in an accident. We fell this is a safety related issue, and the cost for repair is so prohibitive. We feel that the manufacturer should be responsible for such repair. Questions: has this similar problem been reported from other car manufacturers? if so, who was responsible for the repair? or is this the first time this type of issue has surfaced?.
