Warning Light On Problems of Suzuki Reno

Warning light for air bag system came on and stays on, and I have not been in an accident and the car fax for this car shows no accident where airbags where used, at any time in the past. Called pugmire Suzuki, in marietta, GA. And they advised they would not fix it under warranty, since it was an electrical part, and that I would have no use of airbags, until it was diagnosed for 100 dollars and then repaired for an unknown amount that is more than the 100 dollars, and I decided not to go and get it fixed because it is 70 miles to the nearest dealer, and therefore dangerous to drive there with no air bag use possible. This should be paid for by the car maker, because it is a dangerous defect.

The airbag warning light turned on without any readily identifiable cause. Several repair facilities cannot seem to find out why it remains on. I suspect this is related to the following tsbs: #ts0501158, #0312234, and #0512234. Why this isn't being treated as a safety issue is unclear to me. This is a known problem that disables a safety system (airbags) in the vehicle.

The air bags for the driver and passenger are defective. The warning light is on all the time on the driver side and intermittently on the passenger side have been since the car had about 20k miles on it. I took it to be repaired it was reset only to light up again after a few miles. I went back and they said they could reset it, but it would only come back on again in a few miles. Suzuki America is aware that the is a problem with the airbags sensors, but there is no recall. According to the local Suzuki dealership it is a very common problem on all Suzuki Renos and Suzuki forenzas. I have read several reports of Suzuki forenzas and Renos (the hatch back version of the forenza) that have been in accidents where the air bags should have deployed but did not because of this airbag malfunction. I would like Suzuki to be forced to re-call all Suzuki forenzas and Renos to have this problem fixed.

The airbag warning light is on all the time. It is irritating that we cannot get it to go away. Even when resetting the system it comes back within hours. Suzuki will not fix unless we pay. Have checked the connection under the seats and made sure they were not loose. Suzuki should be forced to recall effected vehicles. Bulletin ts0501158 date of bulletin: 03/20/2008 summary description: airbag light on; dtc b1378 (driver side airbag resistance too high) and/or dtc b1382 (passenger side airbag resistance too high). Forenza, sedan/wagon, Reno (rq420) 2005-2006. VIN(s) -6k425022.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) I own a 2005 Suzuki Reno an bought it new. The airbag malfunction light on the dashboard has gone on over a dozen times since I owned the car. For the first 3 years Suzuki dealership has so called repaired it, however within 4 weeks the light on the dash goes on and remains on, now I pay for all repairs and November of 2009 I spent 600 dollars which included repair of the airbag, so the light won't go on, they told me they repaired it and 3 weeks later the airbag safety warning light went on again and won't go off. I want to report this because I heard of alot of foreign cars recalled and my car has 4 airbags which keeps malfunctioning, and the fix is only temporarily. I am still paying off the car, and I need your expertise advise, maybe this should be a recall matter. Please help me. [xxx].
