| The sensor built into the passenger seat that controls the airbag is defective. the fix is a $2000 total seat replacement. unacceptable. the car thinks a door or hatch is open and turns the overhead light on and off all the time. another sensor. you have to be houdini to install a bulb in the front light assembly and the bulb is held by a rinky dink clip that doesn't hold so the front lights are subject to going out. the clip won't hold the bulb in place and even the dealer has problems when your bulb burns out or many times just becomes loose. | |||

| My suzuki grand vitara 2006, has error code b1312 which is a failure of the passenger seat airbag sensor. this is a major safety issue since it will not deploy any airbags in case of an accident. i have contacted suzuki but they have been dodging this issue. i believe that suzuki should pay for this entire repair as a safety recall. you may also find more such cases here: http://www.suzuki-forums.com/2g-2006-grand-vitara/42300-error-code-b1312.html http://www.suzuki-forums.com/2g-2006-grand-vitara/26724-airbag-warning-service-light-came.html http://www.suzuki-forums.com/2g-2006-grand-vitara/38714-airbag-sensor-light.html thank you. | |||

| The passenger airbag light came on and stayed on even when no one was sitting in the seat. therefore, we returned the vehicle to the suzuki dealer. the dealer stated it would cost over $2,000 to repair the electronic switch for the passenger airbag. however, we were informed that we could continue to operate the vehicle, but to note that the passenger air bag may or may not deploy in an accident. we fell this is a safety related issue, and the cost for repair is so prohibitive. we feel that the manufacturer should be responsible for such repair. questions: has this similar problem been reported from other car manufacturers? if so, who was responsible for the repair? or is this the first time this type of issue has surfaced? | |||

| My vehicle (in addition to headlights that burn out frequently), has had the airbag sensor control light and seat belt light illuminated off and on for the past few months, accompanied by the high pitched beep-beep-beep ...alarming, of course. mine also came on a little of 54,000 mile. as it is intermittent, and i am generally in the vehicle alone, i haven't had it looked at or replaced. this will happen when no one and/or nothing is on the front seat. various speeds (from 35 mph to freeway speeds). e lights for the front passenger seat airbag and seatbelt are constantly on. they came on at approximately 56000 miles. i was told by suzuki of nashville that it was possibly the sensor in the front passenger seat, but not sure. cost of $2700 to repair. also i was told that they do not know if the airbags will deploy or if the seat belt will catch when brakes are activitated. this is a safety issue and should be addressed by suzuki - possible a recall would be the proper approach. apparently the sensor module needs to be replaced, not the whole seat. it seems riduculous to charge $2700 for a front seat cushion when the car is worth approx $10,000. | |||

| I purchased a 2nd hand 2006 suzuki grand vitara. the light for my air bag lit up on my dashboard. when i took it in for servicing, i was informed that the sensor on the front seat passenger air bag module was defective and needed to be replaced. as i conducted my research with the mainland suzuki office and the local dealership, it was presented to me that many, many vehicles of the same was brought it for the same problem. i was not in any accident but was responsible in paying a little over $2,000.00 out of my pocket. apparently the black listed extended warranty that was provided to me at the time of sale, does not cover restraints. i am upset that the manufacturer of this car does not want to take responsibility, and for 2nd hand buyers - we are made financially responsible for paying for the repairs. i am upset on top of being financially drained and would like to know how to proceed in filing a class action law suit. can you respectfully respond as i was informed that there is a federal supplemental warranty that covers restraints in place? | |||
