2009 Suzuki SX4 owner complaints

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. *tr

I currently own a 2009 Suzuki sx4 crossover and was recently in a collision. I was going approximately 40 MPH in a forward direction when another vehicle crossed from one parking lot on the left side of the road trying to get into a parking lot directly across to my right. I applied the brakes before we collided, but still ended up colliding with the other vehicle in a t-bone position. I have front, passenger, and side skirt airbags in my vehicle and not one of the airbags deployed. The front engine compartment to my vehicle was completely smashed in and the other vehicle had extensive damage to the passenger side between the front and rear doors. Both my passenger and I were wearing seatbelts, so we were wiped forward and both had our heads collide with the headrests of our seats. We were

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 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

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

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.

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. *tr

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. *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 acciden

Just back from 15 mile trip to walmart, turned into long driveway and drove about 200 feet when heard noise like we were dragging a large weed ; stopped and saw the tire had failed . Looked like the sidewall of the tire close to the outside of the rim had split all around the tire. Purchased these 4 new tires on 6/30/2012 from discount tire company in tyler, texas so this tire only had 3,557 miles on it when this happened. The tire was a bfg gforce sport comp2, size 205/50zr17 89w. Will return to the store for warranty but might have been bad if it had happened on the highway at 70mph rather than the driveway at 10 MPH. Did not find any recalls on this tire in the recall search website. *tr
