I went to the dealer for the airbag service light on! they checked it and turn that the airbag sensor from the passengers seat is dead and warranty will not cover it!!"?? I'm very disappointed with this, Suzuki warranty will not response for their vehicle security failures?? why?" they said that if I have an accident airbags will not come off and if I want to have it replace it will cost 2,000 dollars!!

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.

The "airbag is disabled" light keeps coming on our 2009 Suzuki SX4 crossover. We are told that this means the airbags are not functioning. The dealers have worked on it three times and the unit is supposed to be fixed. It just came on again for the 4th time. It was last repaired March 17, 2010.

In November 2009, air bag error light came on and I took it to the dealership and the computer was reset. In December 2009, I was in an accident with a deer going 55 mph head on and the air bags did not deploy, which was noted on the accident report. After receiving the vehicle back after repairs were made with oem parts, the air bag error light came on again and I took it back to the dealer, who then reset the computer again. I am concerned.
