| Seat Belt problems |
Purchased vehicle on 6/29/12. Airbag warning light came on two weeks later. Research indicates that my airbags are now disabled. Authorized Suzuki dealer/repair facility is 125 miles away. On line blogs and this website indicate problems with disconnect in seat sensor embedded within front passenger seat cushion. Suzuki will not cover costs to repair/replace seat cushion. Safety issue seams to be with all Suzuki Sx4's. How do we, the consumer, get american Suzuki to recall this airbag issue?

This issue started way before today, but the air bag sensor light came on probably in the fall of 2011 along with the passenger seat belt light. We moved to a small town and before getting two new tires we went to the service station only to find out it was closed but I need to get my inspection reinstated so I can go to class and work and if Suzuki knew about all these issues with the air bag sensor one would hope that it would warrant a recall. I love my Sx4 but ever since I got it has had many issues with it, more so than my husbands car which is a 1999 Ford mustang.
Vehicle # 1 will be the one we have a complaint about. Vehicle # 2 is the other involved party. Vehicle # 2 ran a red light and was t-boned by vehicle # 1. Vehicle # 1 is equipped with front, passenger, side, and two other kinds of airbags. No airbags deployed. Front drivers seatbelt did not "catch", resulting in driver hitting chest on steering wheel.
