Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2009 Suzuki SX4

The front passenger airbag warning light comes on intermittently. There is a known recall of the 2009 Suzuki Sx4 for a problem with the sensor in the right front passenger seat. I bought this car as a used vehicle in December 2013. I have attempted to contact Suzuki motor of America directly by two separate letters to inquire about having the necessary repair made; also I have called three designated dealerships that handle Suzuki warranty repairs in orlando, tampa, and st. Petersburg, FL to inquire about the status of the recall. I have received no response from Suzuki motor of America, and the dealers know nothing about the status of this recall, other than verifying that my vehicle is one of those affected by the recall. I am concerned that, should this vehicle be involved in an accident with a passenger in the front passenger seat, that the airbag will not deploy as it should, thus potentially leading to a serious passenger injury. I would like assistance in getting Suzuki to follow through with the recall repairs for this defect.

Diver airbag light is always on. When taken for repairs code often differs. Authorized Suzuki dealership says that entire wiring system would need replaced for $3000, but could not guarantee that would fix it. . It can be cleared, but that is only effective for a few days. Light used to be intermittent, now it is constant. Authorized Suzuki dealership says when light is on, the air bag will not deploy. I've been forced to drive with this condition for 10k miles or more. My passenger seat had different airbag sensor problems. It has been replaced. Replacement of passenger seat did not affect driver side problem for better or worse.

The contact owns a 2009 Suzuki Sx4. The contact stated the front passenger air bag light continued to illuminate stating the air bag would not deploy. There was a defect in the seat cushion where the air bag sensors are located. The dealer stated that he could not reprogram the sensors instead they had to replace the entire seat which cost $1,100. There are no recalls or warranties for the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, stated there were no related recalls and offered no assistance. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 40,000.

My car's issue is that air bag light stays on. When I took the vehicle to the local Suzuki dealership to fix an other issue on brake system, the air bag light also had stayed on. The service mechanics saw the front panel of my car where the brake system light and airbag system lights were on. However, they did not warn me about it. If they had told me, the costs should have been covered by warranty. At that time, I did not know what the airbag light indicated (I. E. Airbag would not deploy when I got an accident) as a dealership where I purchased the car did not warn me about it although it already stayed on when I purchased it. This is a serious safety issue in terms of quality of service technicians and airbag system itself of Suzuki. This appears to be a known and wide spread issue with Suzuki Sx4 as I have seen multiple complaints, which are the same as my issue, on safecar. Gove and other websites. Furthermore, looking at those information, those cars had the issue at a quite early stage of car usage (e. G. When purchased and mileage), which indicates that the airbag system has a defect. This issue could lead serious injuries or dead so Suzuki should resolve it as soon as possible by either recalling the airbag system or extending the warranty so that car owners can fix it with no costs and saver our lives. Otherwise, car owners who could not afford the costs could not fix it. Also, car owners who are not familiar with airbag light/system would not pay attention to the dangerous situation. From that perspective, Suzuki should notify car owners about the issue immediately. I hope that NHTSA also would take the issue seriously, investigate it and give the necessary directions to Suzuki to save our nation of u. S. A 's lives from a defect airbag system.

In November 2009, air bag error light came on and I took it to the dealership and the computer was reset. In December 2009, I was in an accident with a deer going 55 mph head on and the air bags did not deploy, which was noted on the accident report. After receiving the vehicle back after repairs were made with oem parts, the air bag error light came on again and I took it back to the dealer, who then reset the computer again. I am concerned.

The contact owns a 2009 Suzuki Sx4. The contact stated that when anything was placed in the drivers side passenger seat, the air bag light illuminated which indicated that the air bag system has been deactivated. The dealer inspected the vehicle and determined that the battery failed. The battery was replaced and the computer system was reset. The contact has continuously experienced failures with the air bag system and has had the computer system reset multiple times. The manufacturer has not offered any resolutions for the failures. The dealer advised the contact that he should not place anything in the drivers side passenger seat. The contact stated that the failure could result in a crash and the air bags will not deploy. The failure mileage was 50 and the current mileage was 18,000.
