2009 Suzuki SX4 air bags problems

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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. *TR”

“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. *TR”

“TL * THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 SUZUKI SX4. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SERVICED. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AGAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,596. UPDATED 9/12/14*CN”
