Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2008 Suzuki SX4

I took my car to the Mitsubishi dealer that is handling Suzuki repairs for Suzuki in response to the recall for the passenger seat sensor issue related to the airbag. The dash light for airbag error no longer appeared after that fix, but it returned within three months. The Mitsubishi dealer said that I would have to pay to get it fixed.

I was crossing a street (with the green light) entering the driveway to the apartment complex, there is a dip at the entrance to the driveway so I was doing about 3 mph. A Dodge durango SUV, ran the "red" light and struck my vehicle on the passenger side front door totaling the Suzuki, knocking the car about 20 feet sideways, and rendering me unconscious. . The durango was doing approximately 45-50 mph upon impact, he was not looking where he was going, he was talking to his girlfriend, and consequently did not apply the brakes, until he struck my car. None of the air bags deployed on the impact, which added to the lateral direction of travel of my head and neck, causing severe whiplash. Suzuki has had problems with their air bag system for at least five years and there was a recall of the air bag sensor, which I never received. In fact I never received any of the recalls issued by Suzuki. I had driven the car over 100,000 miles without any problems at all, however the main impact safety feature was not operable and Suzuki knew it and failed to inform me. I am fortunate that I am alive, broken and bruised, but alive. My grandson is generally with me, and would have surely been killed, had he been in the car at the time of the accident.

The sensor light for the pasanger air bag went on and wont reset the mechanic checked via diagnostic computer the light and said its a faulty sensor but changing it would require $1,500 pasanger seat replacement because the unit is integral meanwhile the pasanger seat belt lite is on regardless if belt is engaged and I dont know the implications to the air bag functionality.

The contact owns a 2008 Suzuki Sx4. The contact stated that the air bag sensor illuminated intermittently. The contact mentioned that a passenger was seated in the passenger seat but the warning lamp still indicated that the air bag was off. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer. The technician explained that the parts were not available in order to do repairs for recall NHTSA campaign id number: 13v405000 (air bags) and was not able to provide a specific date when the parts would become available. The manufacturer was not able to be reached after numerous attempts. The vehicle failure and current mileage was 36,000.

I am scheduled to take this car for the third time to get the airbag fix hoping that they fix it right this time this coming Friday it makes no sense . I hope you"ll can help me out with this situation it has gotten worse not better at all .

2008 Suzuki Sx4 airbag system went out due to a sensor in the passenger seat. To replace the seat through the dealer would cost $2500. 00. We have contacted Suzuki with no luck. The car is covered by extended warranty, but when contacted we were told this problem was not covered. We wonder why this has not been recalled. We do not have the funds to replace the seat and will have to drive without airbags and the error lights will not go off until fixed.

The contact owns a 2008 Suzuki Sx4. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who informed the contact that the air bag sensor needed to be replaced or the air bag would not deploy. The vehicle was not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 28,000. The VIN was unavailable.
