Passenger side seat airbag safety switch failed. This disables all airbags in the vehicle when this happens. It is not a fail safe design. If this switch fails, air bags should remain enabled. Car is not safe to drive. You can replace this seat switch for $1,400 dollars. Suzuki will not replace this switch even though it renders the vehicle unsafe to drive. Most customers do not realize they have no air bag protection. Suzuki is at great liability due to poor design. This needs to be a safety recall item. Many complaints are on file.
