Warning Light On problems of the 2008 Suzuki SX4

Air bag warning lights for both the driver and front passenger lit up and remain always on, regardless of whether a person is seated in the passenger seat or not. Both the driver side and passenger side airbag lights remain on and do not turn off.

The contact owns a 2008 Suzuki Sx4. The contact stated that the passenger side air bag warning light deactivated erroneously while a passenger was occupying the seat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be repaired under NHTSA campaign number 13v405000 (air bags) but it was unable to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was not available.

The contact owns a 2008 Suzuki Sx4. The contact that NHTSA campaign number: 13v405000 (air bags) had surpassed a reasonable amount of time for repair. The dealer stated the part was not available and the manufacture was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The failure mileage was unavailable.

Air bag warning light stayed on, and would not go off. Dealer found the cause to be " SC-60 open circuit b1312 ". Had to drive the car without working air bags until dealer could work on the car. Dealer replaced passenger side seat cushion assembly (no charge). Since the drivers side seat cushion was not replaced it might eventually fail just like the passengers side. Please have Suzuki recall these cars and replace all the front seat cushions, not just the ones that fail.

2008 Suzuki Sx4- took into dealership for complaint of ticking noise under the hood. After a $98 diagnostic fee they determined it needed a new engine because of bad rods due to oil starvation. After talking with service manager and dealership general manager both decided that repairs were not covered under 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. Also the air bag warning light stays on and it was also determined that the entire seat would have to be replaced in addition to the catalytic convertor being replaced due to bad oxygen sensor. I have proof of all maintance and service repairs to include oil changes etc. I requested a meeting with general manager and was assured that he would investigate situation and get back with me in a couple of days. It has been a week and only communication I have received is a text message on my cell phone stating that no part of the powertrain warranty would apply even though the powertrain warranty includes all things listed in diagnostic review of the car this is extremely unprofessional and shows that Suzuki does not stand by their products.

The "passenger air bag light off" warning light came on while we were driving on a city street even thought a 170lb passenger was sitting in the passenger seat, wearing a seat belt. We were near the authorized Suzuki dealer in milford, CT where we bought the car a few weeks earlier, so I stopped in and informed the sales manager. He said to show the service dept. There was no one in service that had time to see the light on so I brought it in for service appt. They said there was no code when they scanned the car. We don't know if this problem is related to the static in the am radio when the headlights or awd lock is turned on or when the gps or phone is plugged in but I am told this is not an electrical lemon. I rode in another Sx4 and there was no static in the am radio. The next time the warning light came on, we took pictures and sent them to the finance rep. We also have a video of the light on and have since found complaints of this problem in the Suzuki forum. Perhaps its time for a recall before someone gets injured.

I own a 2008 Suzuki Sx4. A few times the passenger air bag warning light has turned on. The problem usually is solved by unlocking and refastening the passenger seat belt. More recently, (actually last week) the air bag warning light turned on and has stayed on ever since. This is not an intermittent problem like the passenger air bag warning. I have seen a lot of owners of these vehicles, (years 2007 to 2009) complaining in the net about this life-threatening problem . Most of them refer to the b1061 and /or b1312 codes and their vehicles are out of the warranty period already. This leads me to think that we are talking about a design or manufacturing flaw in these vehicles and should be properly addressed by a recall campaign by the manufacturer and/or its representatives in this country. I understand these codes and warning lights prevent the air bags from being deployed during an accident and the cost of replacing the seat with the sensor can run up to $2,000 per seat.

The front driver's side airbag warning light came on and stays on. There has been no accident or anything out of the ordinary.

Air bag warning light on my 2008 Suzuki Sx4 came on for no apparent reason. Vehicle has less than 35,000 miles. Dealer states it is a sensor problem and can be repaired for $1,200. 00. Internet reasearch has revealed this problem as a common problem for this model Suzuki. One mechanic at dealership stated not to worry airbags would still deploy in the event of an accident . Another mechanic disputed this statement and said they would not. As stated earlier I have seen numerous complaints of this same problem on many different websites.
