Air Bag Problems of Suzuki SX4

The contact owns a 2012 Suzuki Sx4. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked and the engine was running, the air bags independently deployed. The contact stated that the failure had occurred while the contact was on the outside of the vehicle, removing items from the rear seat on the rear passenger's side of the vehicle. The contact stated that the rear seat lever was lifted to lower the rear seat, and the front driver's side curtain air bag, and the rear passenger's side pillar air bag independently deployed. The failure occurred instantly when the rear seat was lowered. There was a loud sound but no smoke. The contact fell to the ground when the air bags deployed. The front passenger's seat belt was latched at the time; however, the front passenger's seat was unoccupied. The front passenger's seat belt became inoperable after the failure. The vehicle was driven to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 153,750.

The airbag sensor in the passenger seat failed. There is a known supplemental restraint system issue/recall in 2007-2011 Suzuki Sx4s, however there has not been a recall for the 2012 model despite this being an issue beyond the aforementioned years. Affected vehicles may develop an electrical circuit disconnection within the front passenger sensing system sensor mat that is built into the front passenger seat bottom cushion. The disconnection is due to repeated flexing of the sensor mat from use of the front passenger seat. If this condition occurs, the “air bag” light in the instrument cluster and, the front passenger’s seat belt reminder light will come on. Also, the “pass air bag off” indicator light will remain off because the front passenger air bag will remain enabled. In a frontal impact of significant magnitude, the front air bag will deploy with full force - even with a child, or small adult, in the front seat. Air bag deployment with a child or small adult in the front passenger seat increases the risk of severe injury or death to that occupant. Replacement front seats are backordered, likely because of the recall in 2007-2011 vehicles, and despite placing an order for a new seat in may 2023, I have been waiting 9 months for a pallet to ship from Suzuki. Given the danger of traveling with a passenger given the vehicle's condition, and the fact that this was a known issue for the 5 prior years of this vehicle, this is an unacceptable amount of time to wait for a replacement part, and this should be investigated as a potential necessary recall for 2012 Suzuki Sx4s.

Cushion was change and diagnostic still shows like cushion wasn't changed.

Suzuki has recall for a defective passenger seat cushion that when the fault is present the passenger nor the drivers air bags will deploy in an accident. The part has been ordered but will not come in for three weeks. The dealership in pensacola florida has said they will not give a loaner vehicle for this issue even thought the safety issue has been identified and neither the passenger or drivers air bag will deploy in an accident. Knowing this is a very important safety issue I fail to understand why they won't give a loaner vehicle until this problem has been corrected. In the event of an accident and the air bags don't deploy I can see a justification for a lawsuit because of this safety issue in the vehicle. I had even contacted a lady by the name of [xxx] at the Suzuki customer service number of 1-800-934-0934 and in the recall letter that was sent out does not allow for a loaner vehicle unless the issue falls under the 36 month warranty period. If this is a known recall it should not matter if it is under the warranty period or not since this is a vehicle safety issue and a loaner vehicle should be available to all customers.

The icon for the airbags came on while I was driving on an interstate highway. I had my usual service station investigate it, but they did not have the correct computer to diagnose the problem. I made an appointment and brought it fifty miles (one way) to the dealer in syracuse, NY. After charging me for an hour and a half of diagnostic time ($149. 06) they identified it needed a repair costing approximately $1200. 00. I contacted Suzuki corporate on brea, calif. The man called and said he would intercede to obtain a "goodwill" repair. That was denied by regional service manager. Car has no functioning airbags at this time. Furthermore, it cannot be sold or traded as is.

This is a safety issue and I have tried working with Suzuki corp. And my local dealer. They both say I have to replace it at $1,000. New seat or a used one( which I do not want) for $450. 00. I am on disability and cannot afford a seat. It should be up to Suzuki to replace this at no charge because of a mechanical defect. I love my Sx4 and I am very upset that they will not replace the seat.

My wife and I purchased this car used and as-is from a dealer. We had it just 3 days when I noticed the airbag malfunction light is on. Now I'm concerned that the air bags aren't functioning. This is a recurrent problem, and I'm sure many have gone unreported. Just on this site alone, airbag problems are a large percentage of the complaints made. When I count the problems and eliminate the duplicates, there are 44 actual problems listed. 33 of those problems are airbag problems, and 3 were accidents in which air bags didn't deploy. That means that 36/44 problems - 82% - involve airbags in some way. How many more have to be posted before this gets investigated and a recall forced or issued??? counting this complaint, it's 37/45 with airbag problems.

I was a passenger in a susuki Sx4 2008. Where we slid off the road a hit a log pile. No air bags opened. I broke my femur, neck, jaw, and ribs. Car was totaled and we at least hit the wood at 45 mph.

Rear window wiper failure, does not work. Passenger air bag none functioning, light comes on dash indicating passenger air bag is off! remote trunk entry failure, remote latch is not functioning and there is no key entry lock.

Stopped at four way intersection, traffic light turns green vehicle beside me in right lane takes off, I take off crossing intersection a vehicle coming from left fails to stop at red light, hits me on left front corner on car (driver side) pushes me, making my car spin, where my left rear quarter panel hits the car in question, then he proceeds to push me two lanes over to right. Vehicle was a total loss and no airbags deployed. Estimated speed of the other driver was 40 to 45 give or take.

After 60,000 miles the airbags light comes on and passenger seat belt light comes on. Dealer states that passenger seat cushion needs to be replaced. A lot of Suzuki owners have the same problem after 60,000 miles. This is a safety hazards. Here is a link to the issue. This issue should be recalled. . Read more...

Passanger airback goes off.

While my car was under warranty, on two different occasions I got the airbag symbol. Now that my warranty has expired now the airbag symbol came back plus the front passenger seatbelt unlock light symbol, even with the seatbelt secured. I went to Suzuki they told me that I had to pay to get my car inspected , I told them that this is not an issue of wear and tear this is a safety issue.

The "airbag is disabled" light keeps coming on our 2009 Suzuki Sx4 crossover. We are told that this means the airbags are not functioning. The dealers have worked on it three times and the unit is supposed to be fixed. It just came on again for the 4th time. It was last repaired March 17, 2010.

The light for the airbags driver and passenger came on, then went off, 1 week later they came on and stayed on. They gave me all kinds of excuses, ex- "someone must have not been sitting on the seat properly!!!!!!!! we went around for almost a year. Then they said well the mileage is over!!!!!!!!!! then l threatened to contact you. They said Suzuki authorized them to only charge me 50% of the fee. L find that strange especially after they told me all the other there was nothing they could do, now offer me 50% hmmm, that shows me there is a problem. L am including a copy of a report that there have been 31 complaints on the same thing. If we get in an accident the bags will not work. Putting our lives at risk. Can l sue them. They need to fix this before someone dies. One of the reports state a man went through(he is alive) his windshield because the bag did not deploy. Can you help.

Radio changed out 2x after electrical problems, light for air bag has been on for 3 yrs. Brakes have had to get worked on 2x before it hit 50,000, clip on driverside mat broke after 2 months of having car, door panels on both front and back passanger side kept falling off and kept taking car back to fix till they had no replacement parts this car should not be on the road there are many safety issues blind spots because of the design, and all the little issues from 2 batteries replaced to 2 sets of brake jobs to electricals to 3 sets of tires, and the car only has 80,ooo miles or less.
