While driving at appox 5mph turning into a parking lot the passenger side seat airbag and curtain airbag deployed. There was no one sitting in the passenger seat nor was there any weight on the seat. Car has appox 33K miles on it and has never been in an accident. I am waiting on word from Suzuki as to what they will or will not do. Driver side seatbelt also locked in place once released and cannot be retracted.

Received a vehicle recall notice--13V405000. That here was a defective air bag seat switch. I called the dealer and was told to wait for a second letter, called Suzuki and was given the same run around. How long does it take. If this switch fails the air bag will not work and someone could be injuried.this is going on six months now. The car is listed under my wife's name.
