I noticed the airbag light staying on in late april 2011. I took the car to Suzuki dealership in san jose they reportedly fixed the problem but the light came back on in september and I returned to the dealership. They seemingly fixed it, although they said it might take replacing one or both of the seats for upwards of $2,000 but when I drove away the light was not on. Now in november the light is back on. Since I have read so many complaints about this problem with other Suzuki sx4's I would like to see a recall and a permanent solution to this problem. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Suzuki sx4. While driving approximately 30 MPH the air bag warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. He had to turn off the engine to reset the warning message.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 Suzuki sx4. The contact stated that the passenger side air bag sensor activated sporadically when a passenger is seated in the seat.

The failure mileage was 100 and current mileage was 7,800.

The front passenger weight sensor for the SRS airbag system had been intermittently going on and off with someone in the seat and out of the seat. This began within 100 miles of ownership, and occurred very frequently. The dealer could never replicate this. They stated the system was designed to work that way even when a 300 lb. Tech was sitting in the seat and the light came on showing the airbag system off. The sensor is now completely out, and the airbag light is on along with the passenger seat belt indicator both stay lit continually. Now that the sensor is completely out I am outside of my 36,000 mile warranty and am now in my extended warranty I purchased at the time I bought the sx4. The extended warranty will not cover a new sensor which has been quoted to me at $2,600.

When a passenger would sit in the front seat the light would remain illuminated.

The manufacturer was notified and offered to pay half off the repair and labor cost. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000. The VIN was unavailable.

2007 Suzuki sx4- passenger airbag light on, took it to dealership, they stated the right front seat track/bottom assembly would need replacing costing approximately $1500.00. Apparently this is a common problem. Suzuki should have to recall their cars and correct the problem. *tr

My Suzuki sx4 is now 4 months and 2500 miles old. The airbag off light will come on intermittently when an adult passenger is seated in the front passenger seat. The dealer could not duplicate the problem by placing a 240lb technician in the parked car. The dealer also acknowledged that this occurs on many Suzuki vehicles. A call to Suzuki america resulted in no action, simply being told that is the way it is designed. Sounds to me like it is designed to kill someone. *tr

2007 Suzuki sx4: naguabo, pr. Air bag light and front passenger sensing system indicators stay on. Took to dealer, computer reset done. Lasted only 4 days, air bag sys fault lights on again. Taken back to dealer, service dept said the front passenger seat air bag sensor was faulty. Mileage 54,442 not covered under warranty. Over $2,000 to fix issue. This must be a factory defect that somehow appears after your warranty expires. This is a safety issue. *tr

Upon start-up the air bag indicator light and the passenger seat belt light are on persistently. This is whether or not someone is seated in the passenger seat. According to an on-line query, we found multiple entries (complaints) of other customers experiencing the same problem for 2007, 2008 and 2009 models. The culprit is a faulty sensor in the seat cushion. Thus far Suzuki has not addressed this issue, nor do they feel it is a safety concern. From what the dealership service manager indicated (and as stated on complaints we found) with the car in the current condition, our air bags will not deploy in the event of an accident. The dealership stated the estimate for repair of the seat cushion and seat belt assembly is $1700.00. The dealership compared this repair to that of say an

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.
