Warning Light On problems of the 2009 Suzuki SX4

While driving such car the airbag warning lights came on and state solid so I pull off the street to check what's going and shut off the car after that the car do not start immediately so take three times to started it. Since then the airbag warning lights stay on.

I would like to submit a claim on my 2009 Suzuki Sx4 due to the airbag warning light illumination with dtc code b1318 fault. This has caused both airbag warning lights, airbag off lights and seatbelt lights, to come on and not go off at various times. We were sent a letter from Suzuki acknowledged an airbag-related issues with front passenger seats on the vehicles for an open-circuit problem for the sensor mat that determines if an adult or child is sitting in the front seat. I called Suzuki customer service on 7/29/13 and spoke to brian. I informed brian that we purchased this vehicle due to my daughter's small stature in which she is under 5 feet tall and only weighs 90 pounds while having a valid indiana driver’s license. Her small stature has caused several errors with the passenger side airbag warning light to illuminate. The seat is not sensing her presence and sets off the warning light. Brian acknowledged that there was a problem but would not repair the vehicle. He stated that airbag issues are only covered under the 3 year 36,000 mile warranty. I did not agree that an acknowledged issue with a safety related component failure due to a person’s small stature is the consumers responsibility. Brian also stated that our small stature daughter should not sit in the front passenger seat due to this vehicles issue.

My Suzuki sx-4 has shown an airbag warning light for just over two years. This began just shortly after the warranty period expired. I researched the problem online, and found that this is a common issue, and that most cases required a repair in excess of $1000. Recently, Suzuki issued a repair extension for the airbag system, but my situation conveniently does not qualify. Apparently, the diagnostic code is different from what Suzuki issued the extension for. I was told this morning by a Suzuki dealership that I must pay another $95 for diagnostics to find out what the diagnostic code means. This is not acceptable. I have tried talking to representatives at Suzuki's "customer relations" department, but to no avail. They insist that this issue is not covered under their repair extension, and that I must pay for additional testing, and repair in order to resolve this issue. My online research has revealed that this issue is widespread, and it should not be considered to be a normal wear and tear, out of warranty issue. This is a serious safety problem.

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?

Airbag warning light comes on and stays on. This is apparently a known problem with Suzuki vehicles and there are multiple complaints online. I took the vehicle to the local Suzuki dealership, and the air bag sensor was reprogrammed. However, it still returns a b1311 code. Suzuki has extended their 3 yr 36000 mi warranty, but will not cover this code for some unknown reason. The only remedy is the replace the entire seat bottom at a cost of $1,100. Suzuki should recall its defective sensors, this is a serious safety issue as I've read that the airbags may not operate properly if the sensor is malfunctioning.

Vehicle in dealer shop for safety inspection (new york). Dealer told of recall for mirror screws, gps battery, and passenger seat pad. I informed dealer of passenger air bag warning light on dash. The dealer told me they had to send the gps back to the factory, the screws for the mirror were on back order and the air bag light would cost me $85. 00 u. S. To update the program. Are air bags supplied by the manufacture not required to work 3000 miles out of warranty? if my wife gets in an accident and a passenger dies because of a defective program am I at fault? what is my recourse for this asinine service?.
