Air Bag Not Deploy Problems of Suzuki XL7

Passenger side seat does not properly recognize presence of passenger. Service airbag message on hud alerts failure of proper recognition. Suspect there is malfunctioning electrical/pressure sensor. As ~100lb passenger shifts weight, passenger airbag indicator will turn off/on. Problem first noticed at roughly 85k miles in 2016. Unable to repair due to lack of parts. Concern is airbag will not deploy appropriately.

Passenger side seat is not recognizing a passenger is in the seat, so air bag is off and alert light stays on and off periodically. The light comes on once we are stationary and may go off and on as the car is in motion. Vehicle has 72200 miles a and I am worried the air bag will not deploy if needed. The sensor in the passenger seat appears to not work as it should.

The airbag would not turn on regardless of the weight in the passenger seat. When inquired with dealer, we were told there wasn't enough weight even though it ranged from 120- 250. Then the air bag idicator came on and the air bag on/off passenger light is always on off, the airbag on/off light never goes on. Now the dealer is telling us we need to replace the pad in the passenger seat. . . Probably, they can't be certain until it's been changed at a fee of $800. This seems to be a constant issue for this vehicle and the plant that it was made in. The Xl7 and other gm cars with same body frame have the same problem except the Xl7 is not being recalled. Why not? I fear it's because the Xl7 has had a smaller production than other gm cars and now with Suzuki no longer in production, we owners have no one to investigate and initiate a recall - isn't this where/when the government should be stepping up? this cannot be meeting mandatory safety standards. My research shows these vehicles were effected in addition to the Xl7:GMC/acadia 2007, Saturn/outlook 2007 manufacturer: general motors corp. Nhtsa campaign id number: 07v062000 mfg's report date: February 21, 2007 component: air bags: frontal: sensor/control module summary: on certain vehicles, the sensing and diagnostic module (sdm), which controls the function of front air bags, may not operate properly. As a result, the front air bags may fail to deploy in a frontal crash. Also, the air bag warning lamp on the instrument panel may fail to provide warning that the system is inoperative. Consequence: n the event of a crash, this condition could increase the risk of injury to occupants in the front seat. Remedy: dealers will reprogram the sdm computer module. Why is the Xl7 not included in this recall/ repair/ reprogram?.

The vehicles airbag dash light came on indicating that the passenger airbag is not functioning. The clock also began flashing and can not be adjusted. I was told by the airbag specialist that there is a recall for this exact problem on this exact vehicle year/make/model, but for some reason my VIN# was not included. I do not understand why my car is not covered under the recall as this is a safety issue in that my airbag will not deploy until fixed. I was told the part costs $1700 to replace out of pocket.

After replacing the battery, my clock started flashing and my air bag light came on and stayed on. Nothing that has been tried has remedied either problem. There is no Suzuki dealership in my area. I was told by a mechanic that if I have an accident, my airbag will not deploy or work properly.

The ocm sensor in the passenger seat has failed. Therefore my passenger airbag will not deploy in the event of an accident. I am the only driver of this vehicle since I purchased this vehicle in 2007. The passenger seat has rarely been used. It has always remained in the same position. It has never been subject to excess moisture. This seems like a valid safety issue to need a recall of the passenger seat sensor. If someone is in the passenger seat and there is a crash, then there is a good chance the passenger will be subject to more serious injuries. My passenger seat has not been abused, just one day the airbag light came on and never shut off.

The contact owns a 2006 Suzuki xl-7. The contact passed out while driving, but woke up right before crashing into a tree. The vehicle was destroyed and the air bags failed to deploy. The police arrived and filed a report. The contact was the only occupant in the vehicle, but was not injured. He was wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash. The speed was unknown. The failure mileage was 42,000.

Accidental emergency brake activation. Only one wheel locked up that on passenger side causing the vehicle to spin out of control into a guardrail. Also, airbags did not deploy and seatbelt restraints allowed upper body to move freely into interior components.

I am an owner of a 2007 Suzuki xl-7 awd limited version. About a year after purchase, the passenger airbag located immediately below the passenger side front dash board began to show an outline in the dashboard. It appears like there is some pressure from the inside of the airbag pushing up against the dashboard material and cutout for the airbag deployment area. The airbag has not yet deployed not has the vehicle been in any accidents. It appears there is a poor quality dash material or a defective airbag. I am concern that when the airbag is needed, it will not deploy. Suzuki would not even replace it while under warranty because they determined there was nothing wrong with it. Now that its out of warranty, the problem is still evident and may become worst with time.
