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.

The contact owns a 2007 Suzuki Sx4. When the vehicle was started, the air bag indicator illuminated and remained lit.

The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not called. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000.

I was driving from PA to MD for vacation. Suddenly the airbag light came on in my dash panel. The light has stayed on to this day. I have contacted Suzuki and because it is past warranty on that part of the car, they will not even look at why. I would have to pay someone almost $100 to have it looked at, not repaired! I don't think that I should have to do this since they have a history of having issues with their airbags! I want them to look at it - no charge - and repair the issue! it has to be fixed before January 2016 or my car will not pass annual inspection.

Tl-the contact owns a 2008 Suzuki Sx4. The contact stated that the air bags light remained illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 13v405000 (air bags) and stated that the parts needed for the repair were not available.

At 48648 miles the driver side and passenger side airbag light came on indicating an issue. I contacted Suzuki in California and they in turn informed me that I would need to pay to get this fixed. The cost can be up to $3000 being there is no recall and no warranty after 36000 miles. I have a issue with that issue seeing the fact that there was a recall for years 2007 - 2011 for the exact same issue. I would like to ask that we include all years from 2007 - 2014 because it is the same issue as the year 2007 - 2011.

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.

The airbag light has illuminated and will not turn off. I am afraid that a sensor or connection may cause the airbag to either deploy while driving or not deploy in case of an accident. This is a sensitive issue that needs to be addressed!!!.

Tl * the contact owns a 2009 Suzuki Sx4. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer to have the passenger side air bag serviced.

I got in the car, started it up and the air bag light came on with the passangers restrint light. I ran a scan and the seat sensor failed. 2 grand to repair it. No one sits on this side. I'm the original owner and I baby the heeck out of this car. This stinks. Now its become a safety issue.

Airbag light is on,does not go off,also seatbelt sign for passenger side is on.

Bought car brand new in 2007,had no problems with it except rear wheel bearing. At about 102,000 miles I had an air bag light come on for driver side,to costly to get repaired. Then at about 160,000 miles my front passenger air bag light came on. Recently I had received notification for recall for air bag problem. Called many dealerships tristate to my area,and they all told me there are no parts available. The state of west virginia is now enforcing inspection codes,and I cannot get my car inspected. I called number on recall card,and it seems that they are reading from a cue card and offered no help at all. I was forced to buy another car,which cannot really afford at this time,dealer offered me $500 for my Suzuki,which to me was an insult. He explained that it was due to airbag situation,and they would have to send car to auction,believing they would not get much for car. I declined offer and car is sitting in driveway,Suzuki should be responsible for putting me back in debt!.

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.

There was no incident. The passenger seat belt light and the air bag light comes on and stays on. Initially, it blinked on and then off. Now they stay on constantly, looking at your site we see where several other people have had this problem. We feel this is a recall issue.

We purchased the car in January of 2013 and I noticed this issue right away. The front passenger seat airbag light indicates that the airbag is not on when I sit on the front passenger seat. I brought the car to several dealers that service Suzukis, but they say all the codes come back as normal. When anyone else but me sits on that seat, the airbag is on. I weigh 110 pounds. Everyone else who has sat on that seat has weighed more than 110 pounds. The last dealer I brought the car to called Suzuki and they told the mechanic there was no way to tweak the minimum weight of the sensor. I called Suzuki customer service several times. All they could do is record my complaint. They said all sensors for all Sx4s are exactly the same and they can't be tweaked. They wouldn't let me talk to a supervisor/manager or an engineer. I want the senor changed, if the weight range can't be lowered. They need to put in a new sensor with lower starting weight for engaging the airbag. There is no way I am the only one in the us who is experiencing this issue. What if a child, a teenager or a pregnant woman sits in the front passenger seat in a Suzuki Sx4? they are waiting for someone to die so their family can file a lawsuit against Suzuki and then they will start recalling these vehicles?!.

Since I purchased the vehicle, the air bag light has been on. When I start the car up, it says the passenger side air bag is off. Also, the passenger side seat belt light in consistently on, regardless of whether or not someone is sitting in the passenger seat, and regardless or whether or not the seat belt is plugged in. I checked my owner's manual, as I thought perhaps something got shut off, but I see nothing in the manual that tells me how to turn the air bags on. I've since done research on this issue, and from what I've read, my air bags may not go off if I'm involved in a collision, and there are multiple complaints from other Sx4 owners about this issue.

Tl-the contact owns a 2010 Suzuki sx-4. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph when she heard a loud noise and the steering wheel locked up. The contact was unable to pull to the right, so she slammed on brakes and the contact the received injuries to her back. The vehicle was later towed to an independent mechanic and they advised her that tensioner was fractured. The mechanic was unable to do the repairs and advised her to contact the dealer. The dealer was contacted and they advised her to tow the vehicle there. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and they repaired the vehicle under NHTSA campaign id number 11v055000 (electrical system:alternator/generator/regulator). In addition, the contact was informed that her air bag light was on and they would have to diagnose the failure before doing any repairs. The contact did not approve the diagnosis since it would be at her expense. The failure and current mileages were approximately 5,050. Tb.

Ok where do I begin, I have had this car for 5 yrs. , and it is a piece of crap. The air conditioner leaks water inside the car, I had it blown out and it didn't help, the power steering pump leaks, I don't have any power steering, the air bag light stays on. I paid 15,000 for this car, I feel its a lemon, but can't prove it, cause I don't have receipts from the last 12months. Does anybody else have these problems. I'm just sick of it, I know I got ripped off. What can I do about it, I will never buy another Suzuki.

Tl-the contact owns a 2008 Suzuki Sx4. The contact stated the air bag light continuously illuminates. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated the air bags was disabling after running a diagnostic test. They also informed him the parts for the passenger front seat was on back order to repair the failure. The manufacturer was notified who stated the vehicle was safe to drive and the parts was on back order. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 46,000. Mw.

Passenger seat airbag light came on and stays on. Took car to dealer and they said it is a faulty airbag sensor that is located within the seat. It is not covered under warranty. The seat has to be replaced at a cost of approx. $1500. Dealer said airbags may or may not work during an accident. I looked this up online and it is a common problem with 2008 Suzukis. However, many people who work in the automotive repair field say that all the airbags definitely will not work. My college-age daughter drives this car. I'm afraid for her to drive it! this is a serious safety issue. Please do something!.

The contact owns a 2007 Suzuki Sx4. The contact stated that when starting the vehicle, the air bag light would illuminate and remain illuminated whether a passenger was occupying the seat or not. The vehicle was neither diagnosed nor repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 40,100.

The "passenger airbag off" indicator light illuminates intermittently when the passenger seat is occupied by 5'4" tall, 125 pound adult female. This was first observed during a very cold day (25f) in February, 2012. However, it has been happening in warm weather (75f) in March, 2012 . Sometimes the light shuts off after a few minutes. Other times it stays on until the start of the next drive cycle.

Airbag light came on in dashboard area. Indicator lights for pass airbag passenger seat and driver seat comes on and off intermittently. Told this is a problem within this car type and will occur costs of between 1000-1600. 00 for repair. This indicator means I have inadequate airbag protection and a failure within the seat sensor. This is a safety concern and needs a recall from Suzuki.

Airbag light has been on in the instrument cluster for four years. After recieved recall notification via mail (1 year ago). Submitted request to fix passenger seat to the only Suzuki dealership on ohau, hawaii and they stated, "my vehicle didn't fall under the recall" and that they needed to repair the entire airbag system. They couldn't pin point the problem and refused to contact Suzuki technical representatives. As the second owner and active duty military, I cannot go back to the state in which I bought the vehicle due to military orders to have any other Suzuki dealership fix this. Additionally, with the saftey inspection laws in hawaii, I cannot register this car in this state unless pay for the entire replacement of the airbag system or wait till the dealership changes thier mind about doing the recall on my car. This situation I am in now is unsatisfactory and puts my family and my self at risk.

Air bag light comes on. Dealer says $1,300 to replace/repair passenger side. Seems to be know issue on chat boards related to this make/model.

Tl- the contact owns a 2008 Suzuki Sx4. The contact was driving 65 mph when the passenger side air bag light illuminated along with the tire pressure warning sensor. The contact also confirmed the fuel gauge failed to accuracy keep track of the fuel intake for the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer only to address the illuminated of the tire pressure sensor. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 63,000 and the current mileage was 63,098. Rds.

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.

Airbag light came on and took to the dealership. The diagnostic code is b1312 - occupancy mat performance due to open in ocm. Basically there was a short in the airbag controller that is built into the passenger seat rendering all of the airbags non functional. Cost for replacement was quoted at $1500 for the part plus $300-$500 labor. This appears to be a very common problem with Suzuki if you look online yet there has been no recalls and it's not covered under warranty after 30,000 miles. So the repair cost could be up to $2000 for a part that is failing left and right on Suzuki owners rendering the complete airbag system worthless so basically two options, either pay the $2000 or drive a car that could be deadly in a crash. I can't believe that Suzuki corporation is ok with this?.

I own a 2008 Suzuki sx-4 crossover. The airbag light came on and stayed on, so I took the vehicle to my Suzuki dealer to have the problem diagnosed. The dealer told me that the passenger seat cushion sensor was defective and the defect was no longer under warranty. The cost of replacement was estimated to be $1,125 for a new seat cushion and $250 for labor. The dealer did not know if this would affect the air bag in an accident. Due to the cost, I could not have the seat cushion replaced and the airbag light remains on. This seems to be a common problem with the sx-4. There is no way that the seat was damaged in normal use and is obviously a manufacturing defect. It seems that this is a serious safety problem and the car should be recalled for repair.

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.
