Takata recall. Airbag light on, has come off and on several times. Now on, light will not reset. Indicates passenger seat cushion is defective.
First issue is the airbags - driver side censor light has been on ever since I purchased the vehicle back in 2010. I had to get the engine replaced due to "rod knock" only to find that the used engine of 52,xxx miles has a leak on the rear main seal. It's likely that issue that lead to my original engine failing at around 74,000 miles. The driver airbag light is still on after said engine replacing. After reading the complaints on here, it's safe to say that I'll need to dish out over 1. 1k to fix it. I had the recall for the passenger side airbag, had that fixed around the 74k mile mark. Got the car under 20k miles.
I have not had an incident. My airbag light has been on for a long time. Took it in for recall & that did not fix the problem. They told me I had to bring it back in & pay $150 diagnostic fee to have them figure out problem with airbags. I haven't brought in. I'm frustrated they didn't fix it with the recall & feel it could be part of the recall issue & why should I have to pay for diagnostic tests & subsequent repairs.

I have received two safety recall letters from Suzuki detailing a problem with my airbag system that matches a problem that I have had with the car for the last two years. My airbag light is always illuminated. When I received the first recall letter, I took my car to a Suzuki dealership. They confirmed the defect, but told me that the diagnostic code generated by their test did not match the one that Suzuki has said that they are covering. The issue is the same, and the fix is the same. The issue can be resolved by replacing a defective component in the seat cushion. This apparently requires that the entire seat be replaced at a cost of around $1000. I have called Suzuki several times in an attempt to get a resolution to this problem, but they refuse to cover the repair. I am refusing to repair the issue myself since it should be covered, and I have no guarantee that I can be reimbursed for the repair charges. I am right now researching my legal options for this matter since I cannot get Suzuki to pay to have the defect repaired. My online research on this car shows that the defect has existed in various Suzuki Sx4 models for several years. One online review for the 2009 model year noted the defect to which Suzuki responded that it would be fixed. Apparently, they did not fix the problem. Now thousands of owners are driving around with defective airbag systems. It seems that Suzuki is only willing to cover a few of them while leaving the rest of us to pay for a very costly repair.
2009 Suzuki Sx4 64,000 air bag light stays on even though never in an accident or activated. Contacted dealership and told me not under warranty. Costs way over $1,000 to fix and unfortunately I don't have that kind of money. I did some research and found an extremely high volume of complaints for this identical dilemma. I believe there should be a recall and Suzuki should rectify this problem at no cost to the consumer. What is it going to take? somebody dying in an accident to get their attention? please let's take care of this and save human lives! please let's not put money over safety.
The drivers side airbag light is on and two dealerships locally has seen this problem. $1100 for a new seat. This sounds to me that this needs to be listed as a recall, not to mention how many other owners has this same issue posted on the internet.
The air bag light use to turn off by re fasting my seat belt but now stays on all time and my car has 40k miles and I cant get an inspection sticker because of this ,I took it to repair and the dealer want more than $2k to fix this, in the mean time I can't use the car because is not safe and it has not inspection sticker this is happening to alot of people is clearly a fault on Suzuki,s air bags systems.
