I have a yellow light and and red airbag light on I already toke to the dealer and it's still the same and now the engine started knocking and the dealer in our area move nowhere to be found what can I do or where can I take it to get check.

Tl-the contact owns a 2008 Suzuki Sx4. The contact stated that the air bags light remained illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 13v405000 (air bags) and stated that the parts needed for the repair were not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 93,000. Aw.

There was no incident. The passenger seat belt light and the air bag light comes on and stays on. Initially, it blinked on and then off. Now they stay on constantly, looking at your site we see where several other people have had this problem. We feel this is a recall issue.

Since I purchased the vehicle, the air bag light has been on. When I start the car up, it says the passenger side air bag is off. Also, the passenger side seat belt light in consistently on, regardless of whether or not someone is sitting in the passenger seat, and regardless or whether or not the seat belt is plugged in. I checked my owner's manual, as I thought perhaps something got shut off, but I see nothing in the manual that tells me how to turn the air bags on. I've since done research on this issue, and from what I've read, my air bags may not go off if I'm involved in a collision, and there are multiple complaints from other Sx4 owners about this issue.

Tl-the contact owns a 2008 Suzuki Sx4. The contact stated the air bag light continuously illuminates. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated the air bags was disabling after running a diagnostic test. They also informed him the parts for the passenger front seat was on back order to repair the failure. The manufacturer was notified who stated the vehicle was safe to drive and the parts was on back order. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 46,000. Mw.

Passenger seat airbag light came on and stays on. Took car to dealer and they said it is a faulty airbag sensor that is located within the seat. It is not covered under warranty. The seat has to be replaced at a cost of approx. $1500. Dealer said airbags may or may not work during an accident. I looked this up online and it is a common problem with 2008 Suzukis. However, many people who work in the automotive repair field say that all the airbags definitely will not work. My college-age daughter drives this car. I'm afraid for her to drive it! this is a serious safety issue. Please do something!.

The "passenger airbag off" indicator light illuminates intermittently when the passenger seat is occupied by 5'4" tall, 125 pound adult female. This was first observed during a very cold day (25f) in February, 2012. However, it has been happening in warm weather (75f) in March, 2012 . Sometimes the light shuts off after a few minutes. Other times it stays on until the start of the next drive cycle.

Airbag light came on in dashboard area. Indicator lights for pass airbag passenger seat and driver seat comes on and off intermittently. Told this is a problem within this car type and will occur costs of between 1000-1600. 00 for repair. This indicator means I have inadequate airbag protection and a failure within the seat sensor. This is a safety concern and needs a recall from Suzuki.

Airbag light has been on in the instrument cluster for four years. After recieved recall notification via mail (1 year ago). Submitted request to fix passenger seat to the only Suzuki dealership on ohau, hawaii and they stated, "my vehicle didn't fall under the recall" and that they needed to repair the entire airbag system. They couldn't pin point the problem and refused to contact Suzuki technical representatives. As the second owner and active duty military, I cannot go back to the state in which I bought the vehicle due to military orders to have any other Suzuki dealership fix this. Additionally, with the saftey inspection laws in hawaii, I cannot register this car in this state unless pay for the entire replacement of the airbag system or wait till the dealership changes thier mind about doing the recall on my car. This situation I am in now is unsatisfactory and puts my family and my self at risk.

Tl- the contact owns a 2008 Suzuki Sx4. The contact was driving 65 mph when the passenger side air bag light illuminated along with the tire pressure warning sensor. The contact also confirmed the fuel gauge failed to accuracy keep track of the fuel intake for the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer only to address the illuminated of the tire pressure sensor. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 63,000 and the current mileage was 63,098. Rds.

Airbag light came on and took to the dealership. The diagnostic code is b1312 - occupancy mat performance due to open in ocm. Basically there was a short in the airbag controller that is built into the passenger seat rendering all of the airbags non functional. Cost for replacement was quoted at $1500 for the part plus $300-$500 labor. This appears to be a very common problem with Suzuki if you look online yet there has been no recalls and it's not covered under warranty after 30,000 miles. So the repair cost could be up to $2000 for a part that is failing left and right on Suzuki owners rendering the complete airbag system worthless so basically two options, either pay the $2000 or drive a car that could be deadly in a crash. I can't believe that Suzuki corporation is ok with this?.

I own a 2008 Suzuki sx-4 crossover. The airbag light came on and stayed on, so I took the vehicle to my Suzuki dealer to have the problem diagnosed. The dealer told me that the passenger seat cushion sensor was defective and the defect was no longer under warranty. The cost of replacement was estimated to be $1,125 for a new seat cushion and $250 for labor. The dealer did not know if this would affect the air bag in an accident. Due to the cost, I could not have the seat cushion replaced and the airbag light remains on. This seems to be a common problem with the sx-4. There is no way that the seat was damaged in normal use and is obviously a manufacturing defect. It seems that this is a serious safety problem and the car should be recalled for repair.

Brought vehicle to Suzuki dealer to have a check done as to why seat belt and airbag lights were staying on. They reported a code and said they would have to replace the passenger seat cushion at a cost of $1069. 00! I could not believe what happened next the service manager informed me that there was a recall and were replacing screws in the outside mirrors to prevent falling off. . . . But the seat cushion was not listed as a recall even though there have been other complaints. Since when are mirrors more important then airbags that are mandated in vehicles. Why hasn't Suzuki stepped up and declared a recall and also why hasn't the NHTSA demanded that they recall these vehicles. So screws for mirrors are more important than airbags. . . What is this world coming to.

Copied this from this site"the ecu also performs regular diagnostic checks of the air bag system. If the ecu identifies a problem, the air bag readiness (warning) light will illuminate on the instrument panel. When the air bag readiness light is illuminated, the air bag system might not perform properly in a crash. " part of the required safety features required on most new vehicles is what was stated. Corrected the mileage from previous complaint. . . . My 2008 Suzuki Sx4 shows the air bag light on along with the passenger seat belt light on(even when occupied) according to the above statement "when the air bag readiness light is illuminated, the air bag system might not perform properly in a crash. " so here I am. I followed up with a visit to Suzuki dealer and $45 later they told me exactly what was stated on sites code b1312 and that I need a new passenger seat cushion, that the sensor was not working. Then they hit me with a cost of $1009. 82 + tax to replace a cushion. . . Mind you a part that is mandated to be on vehicle and working. This is obscene and I refused then they offered to cut it in half $600 +. . . Why do I have to pay anything for a obvious defect in their system as indicated by other entries on here and other sites pertaining to the same problem. Is everyone waiting for a major accident. Also they could not tell me if all was disabled, part disabled or none were disabled. Action is definitely needed by someone or some agency to step in and address this problem.

The airbag light first came on about two years ago on my commute from edwards afb, CA. I took the car into the Suzuki dealership in riverside CA, for an inspection the airbags were reset, but the light did not go off. On a Saturday in between may or June 2012, coming from the valero hand car wash the airbag light went off, then driving up mt view in barstow CA I hit bump in the road at 25 mph and the light was back on again and has not gone off since. I have the tires rotated at walmart in barstow and they have noted the the tire pressure and airbag light is on as well as the last tune up in December 2011. The remedy is to leave the car for two day to run and reset the airbags. Any help to replace the car and/or bags without the $1200 expense would be appreicated. Thank you.

The airbag light stays on constantly, I went to the Suzuki dealership and they said there were faulty aribag sensors in the seat and the entire seat would have to be replaced at my cost of approximately $2000, that the airbags would not work without the seat being replaced and not to drive the vehicle because it was a safety issue. I am a single mom, school teacher and bought the vehicle expecting reliable transportation. I have to drive it or loose my job and do not have $2000 to fix it. After I researched on the internet there are multiple complaints about this same issue. There needs to be a safety recall at the manufacturers expense.

The airbag light is consistently on and when I took it to the dealer I was informed that it's the passenger seat that is causing the light to be activated. Why should I have to pay the dealer approximately $2000. 00 to replace the passenger seat after the warranty ran out? Suzuki should be held responsible if someone is hurt or possibly killed if there is an accident and the airbag isn't activated, because of a seat mat that they placed in the vehicle on the passenger side. It seems that other driver's of Suzuki Sx4 cars have the same problem.

I have an issue with the air bag sensor under the passenger seat of my 2008 Suzuki sx-4 sdn. The air bag light on the dash comes on and stays on, as well as the passenger seat belt light on the information display comes on and stays on. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they checked the code and found a code recorded for the airbag system. They could not determine what triggered the code however they said they reset the system and it should be fine. The same day the lights came back on so I took the vehicle back to the same dealer. This time they told me that the passenger side under seat assembly which contains the air bag sensor was bad and would need replaced at a cost of $2500 just for the part. I went on the internet and searched for similar problems and was suprised to find that there are many others with the same problem. The company has not agreed to do anything to alleviate the problem for me or the others that have had the same problem. I have also not been able to discern for sure whether the air bags will work as long as the vehicle has this problem. If not it is a definite safety problem and should require a recall to fix the problems or replace the defective parts. As I said this seems to be a very common problem with not only the 2008 Suzuki vehicles but also the 2007 model year Suzukis. I have basically been told that since the vehicle is out of warranty that I am out of luck, however I feel that if this is a defect that they are aware of and have not done anything about that they should be held responsible, especially if the problem is potentially endangering the operators of these vehicles.

The contact owns a 2008 Suzuki Sx4. While the vehicle was parked the contact noticed the air bag light was illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact stated the air bag light stayed on constantly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technicians stated the seat cushion was bent or broken which needed to be replaced due to the grid underneath the seat, which was connected to the air bag sensor. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 39,000.

2008 Suzuki Sx4 crossover driver airbag light and passenger seatbelt light are on constantly. Contacted Suzuki customer service, took vehicle to authorized Suzuki dealership. Diagnosed problem, will cost over 2200 to make vehicle safe to operate. Service man informed us none of the airbags will function until 2200$ repairs are made. Car is not under warranty. If I choose to have the passenger seat cushion replaced this will make the third seat cushion as it has been replaced another time already under warranty. Suzuki customer service told me since car is out of warranty I have to pay. They told me to have service manager contact their technical rep and open a case and maybe they might help me in some unspecified way. Suzuki dealership would not give us a loaner car and Suzuki customer service would not authorize loaner vehicle. We have to drive this little deathtrap without any airbags. If you go online and type in Suzuki Sx4 airbag light on you see this is a widespread problem. We can`t afford to pay for another airbag sensor that will only last a short time and then leave us vulnerable and unprotected. Please help us and others like us who don`t have the money to pay for Suzuki`s poor quality and defective safety equipment. Thank you.

The passenger air bag sensor light would come on with a passenger in the seat while driving down the road. It would stay on for a few minutes and eventually go off. This went on for a few months and was initially blamed on the position of the passenger in the seat as wiggling would cause the light to go off. Approximately three months ago the light came in and stayed on, along with the driver's air bag light. My daughter took the car to the local dealer who advised it would cost $2000 to repair because the car was out of warranty due to the mileage. When my boyfriend returned to the service department after researching the problem to inquire about a good will repair we were advised by the service manager two things: first that he was not aware that was a common problem and second that he does them all the time for local dealers because owners usually trade them in ratherr than pay for the repairs and the dealer is unable to sell them without fixing them. He refused to fix the problem, re-stating what he told my daughter, that it would cost $2,000 to fix. It seemed to us that he contradicted himself, either it is a common problem with many of the dealers bringing in used vehicles to have the sensor fixed for $2,000 or it isn't. I would like to know how to get Suzuki to approve a good will repair for this problem that is more than 75% of the reported issues for this model car for 2008.

2008 Suzuki Sx4 crossover airbag light. Light intermediatlly turns on and off. Suzuki could not find a problem until the light stayed on. Problem started with 8,000 miles on car, and finally failed at 101,000 miles but Suzuki says its unrelated even though its the same light. Refuses to fix problem as warrenty issue. Many other reports of defective seat sensors rumored second version of part fixes problem, no recall?.

At an early mileage (~18000 mi) the passengers airbag when on indicating the airbag was disabled. I took the car to the dealer but they said if it was not on at that time, they could do anything. The problem persisted until now that the main panel airbag light is permanently on. I called the dealer and they said there is no longer under warranty due to the mileage. I also started a research on this specific topic on this car model and it seems it is a common issue among them. Since the dealer rep. Said no a single airbag will deploy in an accident, I suggest NHTSA to investigate this problem as a manufacturers defect.

I have a 2008 Suzuki sx-4 crossover. The airbag light came on and stayed on, so I took the vehicle back to my dealer to have the problem diagnosed. The dealer told me that the passenger seat cushion sensor was defective and the warranty on that item ran out at 30,000 miles. The cost of replacement was going to be over $1,500. 00. After researching this problem on line, and finding out that this is a very common problem with this particular vehicle, I just wonder if there isn't more than enough customer complaints to have a recall issued for this problem, especially when it has happened more than once for some owners.

The car was at the Suzuki dealer before warranty expiration and I state that problem and they said that they can't duplicate DE problem, after the warranty expired the problem is back and now all the airbags and seat belts lights are on all the time.

Shortly after I purchased my car I told the dealer that the passenger airbag indicator light was saying it was off occasionally, even when people were sitting in it. They told me the person must be "sitting in the seat wrong. " I asked them about it again a week ago and they said "they must be sitting in the seat wrong. " I said it didn't matter how the person is sitting, it still comes on. Then they told me it depends on the weight of the person sitting in the passenger seat. I said it was happening with someone 150 pounds and 250 pounds. Then they told me it was a "design flaw with the car" and they couldn't do anything about it.
