I got in the car, started it up and the air bag light came on with the passangers restrint light. I ran a scan and the seat sensor failed. 2 grand to repair it. No one sits on this side. I'm the original owner and I baby the heeck out of this car. This stinks. Now its become a safety issue.

Airbag light is on,does not go off,also seatbelt sign for passenger side is on.

Bought car brand new in 2007,had no problems with it except rear wheel bearing. At about 102,000 miles I had an air bag light come on for driver side,to costly to get repaired. Then at about 160,000 miles my front passenger air bag light came on. Recently I had received notification for recall for air bag problem. Called many dealerships tristate to my area,and they all told me there are no parts available. The state of west virginia is now enforcing inspection codes,and I cannot get my car inspected. I called number on recall card,and it seems that they are reading from a cue card and offered no help at all. I was forced to buy another car,which cannot really afford at this time,dealer offered me $500 for my Suzuki,which to me was an insult. He explained that it was due to airbag situation,and they would have to send car to auction,believing they would not get much for car. I declined offer and car is sitting in driveway,Suzuki should be responsible for putting me back in debt!.

The contact owns a 2007 Suzuki sx-4. The contact stated that whenever starting the engine, the air bag warning indicator was illuminated continuously. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign id number 13v405000 (air bags) however, the contact was not able to have the vehicle serviced because the needed part was unavailable. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 13,000.

Ok where do I begin, I have had this car for 5 yrs. , and it is a piece of crap. The air conditioner leaks water inside the car, I had it blown out and it didn't help, the power steering pump leaks, I don't have any power steering, the air bag light stays on. I paid 15,000 for this car, I feel its a lemon, but can't prove it, cause I don't have receipts from the last 12months. Does anybody else have these problems. I'm just sick of it, I know I got ripped off. What can I do about it, I will never buy another Suzuki.

The contact owns a 2007 Suzuki Sx4. The contact stated that when starting the vehicle, the air bag light would illuminate and remain illuminated whether a passenger was occupying the seat or not. The vehicle was neither diagnosed nor repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 40,100.

Air bag light comes on. Dealer says $1,300 to replace/repair passenger side. Seems to be know issue on chat boards related to this make/model.

At approximately 70,000 miles the airbag light came on. A computer diagnostic showed that the sensor in the passenger seat cushion needed to be replaced. This is the sensor which senses whether or not a person is sitting in the seat and in the case of an accident tells the airbag to deploy. The state in which I live requires safety inspections which the vehicle will not pass if the airbag light is on. The failure of an airbag deployment is considered a safety issue by my state laws and should be considered a safety issue with the manufacturer of this vehicle.

I am the owner of a Suzuki Sx4, VIN number: js2yb413175106005, that has 22,713 miles. About two weeks ago I began to notice that the airbag light on both the driver and passenger sides was lit on the instrument cluster. Because Suzuki closed most of its dealerships in north florida, I was forced to drive 150 miles (each way) to the dealership in tampa (crown Suzuki). The dealer looked at my car and the code said that the airbag system was receiving invalid input from the passenger seat sensor (b1312). The dealer stated that he couldn’t reprogram the sensor, and that instead they would have to replace the entire seat airbag sensor mat, which costs $1,584. 92 (not including labor). Also, dealer stated that almost every single Suzuki Sx4 he had seen sooner or later developed this problem. After conducting some internet research (including multiple Suzuki forums and complaints to NHTSA – national highway traffic safety administration), I was shocked to find out how common this problem is. This seems to be a growing concern with sx-4's and Suzuki is not doing anything about it. This is a safety related issue, which Suzuki continues to ignore. I spoke to Suzuki in California and a representative pretty much said "tough luck. " because this is a safety related issue, and the short circuit occurs not due to “natural wear and tear� of the part, I strongly insist that american Suzuki automotive division needs to take responsibility and offer assistance in repairing this problem or issue a recall or extended warranty for this failure.

2007 Suzuki Sx4- passenger airbag light on, took it to dealership, they stated the right front seat track/bottom assembly would need replacing costing approximately $1500. 00. Apparently this is a common problem. Suzuki should have to recall their cars and correct the problem.

I noticed the airbag light staying on in late April 2011. I took the car to Suzuki dealership in san jose they reportedly fixed the problem but the light came back on in September and I returned to the dealership. They seemingly fixed it, although they said it might take replacing one or both of the seats for upwards of $2,000 but when I drove away the light was not on. Now in November the light is back on. Since I have read so many complaints about this problem with other Suzuki Sx4's I would like to see a recall and a permanent solution to this problem.

2007 Suzuki Sx4: naguabo, pr. Air bag light and front passenger sensing system indicators stay on. Took to dealer, computer reset done. Lasted only 4 days, air bag sys fault lights on again. Taken back to dealer, service dept said the front passenger seat air bag sensor was faulty. Mileage 54,442 not covered under warranty. Over $2,000 to fix issue. This must be a factory defect that somehow appears after your warranty expires. This is a safety issue.

Purchased Sx4 2007 Suzuki 5/31/07. Also purchased 60 month/$50,000 mile warranty for $645. 00 at time of purchase. On 12/9/2010 at 52,000 thousand miles (2,000 mile ov. Warranty), passenger air bag light came on. Made appt. To take vehicle to dealership 12/22/10. Told sensor was bad and cost approximately $1,000. 00 to repair. Follow-up call to dealership produced offer to repair at 1/2 the price ($500. 00)! ! family has purchased multiple vehicles at dealership. This occurred 2,000 miles (not even one oil change) over warranty when vehicle was only 3 1/2 years old. Daughter commutes to college/home in this vehicle, and to work/home. Rarely has passengers in vehicle! called american Suzuki at 1-800-934-0934. Opened a case. Told to get back in touch with dealership to provide them with case number. Told technical manager would review our case. Told dealership may cover part, labor, or both; and we would hear something within 48-72 hours. Contacted back by dealership restating original offer. Called american Suzuki back. Told our warranty had expired, and the dealership's offer was a "good will" gesture. Told dealership not required to do anything. Well, we are not required to purchase additional Suzuki vehicles, or to get ripped-off buying $645. 00 good-for-nothing extended warranties with $100. 00 deductibles which should not be needed, and usually aren't--until they're expired. Air bags are a safety issue, and sensor should be a recall item. Not sure if air bag system will work at all, or if car will pass inspection. Customers should not have to replace faulty high-priced $$$$ defective parts. American Suzuki should responsibly produce quality products and stand behind them. Brag about 100,000 mile/10 year warranty. That warranty is very limited as to what it actually covers. Good racket: expensive good-for-nothing extended warranties and faulty parts produce good referral business for the dealership's service department. Customer satisaction zero.

I bought a 2007 Suzuki Sx4 new. At about 55000 miles, the driver's side airbag light came on. I did a quick, or so I thought, scan from a snap on obd2 scanner, just to find out, that the dealer is the only one who can scan these cars. So I looked on the internet for a solution, to find out that there are alot of people with the same problems. I called the dealer to ask about the situation, seeing as how virginia has state inspections, and the light can not flash or stay on, and was told that I could bring it in at a "starting cost of $80" for a scan to find out the problem. "it will only be a couple hundred dollars if anything slid under the seat and caused the wires to come out of the connector. ", is the next thing I was told. After that, seeing as how I looked on line, I asked about the seat cushion issues that I have read so much about, and was told, " that would be expensive". I do not understand how this can be as big of a problem, and we the consumer are responsible for their faulty equipment. I also had to ask if the airbag system was still active, and was told "no. If the system has a fault, it shut off the whole thing". So my family's safety has no bearing on their wallet. As long as they get your money they don't care? so being as upset as I was I found the u. S. A. Corporate number and called to tell them the problem as well and was told, "contact your dealer, there is nothing I can do for you. ".

This issue deals with the passenger airbag sensor in my 2007 Suzuki sx-4. The sensor first started giving me problems about a year ago. I took the car in to bill siedles Suzuki where they reset the light. I went online and began reading thru the blogs and noticed that this appears to be a common problem that many Suzuki sx-4s are having. Recently I took my car in for some warranty work regarding concerning the transmission. When I got my car back the airbag sensor light was on again. I mentioned it to the service representative who explained to me that it was a defect with a sensor in the passenger seat and because the car was out of its bumper to bumper warranty I would have to pay for the expenses myself. The sensor by itself cost an amazing $2400. I contacted Suzuki in California to see what could be done. They had me contact someone at bill siedles Suzuki and request a goodwill service. They denied the good will service. Coincidently, I drove a 2009 Suzuki sx-4 while vacationing in puerto rico and it also happened to have the same issues. Its evident that there is an issue with this sensor and Suzuki refuses to correct it. I've had numerous issues relating to my Suzuki ranging from cosmetics to mechanical issues, even the sensors in the tires which monitor tire pressure are broken and now my tpms light is constantly lit on my dashboard. I do have 90,000 miles on my car but I keep it in pristine condition and any of the mechanics who have worked on the car can testify to this. However, my problems with the airbag light dont appear unique based on the endless forums that I've read and 90,000 freeway miles dont wear out an airbag sensor in 3 years. Additionally, it deals with the safety of my family. I have no idea how that airbag with react in the event of an accident. Whatever the issue is, it also gives an indication that the passenger seatbelt is not on. I would appreciate you looking into this issue. Thanks for your help.

Vehicle purchased new on 10/30/2007, and serviced regularly at local dealer. Initial reports of "passenger air bag" light ignored repeatedly by dealer. On 3/23/2008 while vehicle was moving it was backed into by a Toyota camry. The camry had minimal damage, but the Suzuki sustained more than $4700 in damage. Numerous calls to police ensue and finally after 2 hours, a florida hwy. Patrol officer responds. He refused to make/take a report as his shift is about to end. He had a very demeaning attitude and was quite agitated. While injuries were sustained, no one knew the extent of them at the time of the incident. None of the 7 airbags deployed and the airbag light never came on. The car itself was severely damaged and almost tipped completely over onto its roof. The passenger later learned that the reason for her severe pain and inability to walk 3 weeks after the accident was due to a severed hip joint. Of course the camry driver's geico insurance handled the initial claim and repaired the Suzuki. They balked at the injuries, but after retaining counsel finally paid out a small portion on the medical; the passenger has permanent life long problems as a result, lost her job and has a large partially unpaid medical bill. The vehicle was "okay" after the repair and then at 51310 miles the "air bag" light came on and stayed on. Reports to NHTSA and Suzuki went completely ignored since there were not enough Suzuki's sold. Suzuki advised owner to continue making car payments, insurance premiums etc. , but do not drive vehicle as they would not be responsible for injuries now that they were aware. What a complete joke! owner had to sell car as transportation was needed; why make payments on something you can't drive. Gm owned the Suzuki division at the time and have since closed the Suzuki division. They again got off while others suffer for the rest of their lives!.

I bought my Sx4 2007 Suzuki Nov 2007. I have had problems with gas fumes inside car, took it to service said there were no leaks. Still smells on occasions. Took car to service 3 times the had it for 7 days and could find no problem. It is the worst car I have ever had for poor gas mileage. And also the passenger airbag light comes on constantly. Was told passenger must not be sitting in seat right, give me a break!!!!. I wouldn't recommend this car.
