| 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. | |||
