| As others have related the air bag warning light(s) has appeared on my car also now. as others have written theirs was mainly the driver seat sensors failing. the minor difference of my issue is that both seats air bag warning lights came on and will not go away at the same time. this fact does add up to the sensors in each seat failing at exactly the same time. suzuki repair departments are claiming individual seat sensor issues. something else is wrong here and this should become a defect investigation before someone dies due to the air bags not deploying. | |||

| At approximately 70,000 miles the airbag light came on. a computer diagnostic showed that the sensor in the passenger seat cushion needed to be replaced. this is the sensor which senses whether or not a person is sitting in the seat and in the case of an accident tells the airbag to deploy. the state in which i live requires safety inspections which the vehicle will not pass if the airbag light is on. the failure of an airbag deployment is considered a safety issue by my state laws and should be considered a safety issue with the manufacturer of this vehicle. | |||

| Upon start-up the air bag indicator light and the passenger seat belt light are on persistently. this is whether or not someone is seated in the passenger seat. according to an on-line query, we found multiple entries (complaints) of other customers experiencing the same problem for 2007, 2008 and 2009 models. the culprit is a faulty sensor in the seat cushion. thus far suzuki has not addressed this issue, nor do they feel it is a safety concern. from what the dealership service manager indicated (and as stated on complaints we found) with the car in the current condition, our air bags will not deploy in the event of an accident. the dealership stated the estimate for repair of the seat cushion and seat belt assembly is $1700.00. the dealership compared this repair to that of say an engine or transmission going out. they (both the dealership personnel and suzuki corp. customer service personnel) say it is fair to expect to pay for such repairs, after the warranty period. we feel this is a faulty component. we feel that it is wrong of suzuki to expect car owners to pay for such repairs. we believe that this non-value added feature, now defective, is jeopardizing our lives. since when did replacing seat cushions and seat belt assemblies become standard car repairs? since when is a faulty component that essentially disables the entire air-bag system deemed to be a simple repair issue and not a safety concern? we fail to see how this is the case. we fail to see how suzuki can justify such statements. | |||

| 2007 sx4 has had the safety bag light on for the past 7 mos. i don't live near a suzuki dealership, so finally had time to bring it to a dealership to get checked. they mentioned it's a faulty sensor and it would cost ~$1600 w/o labor. i have had the vehicle since nov. 06 and have 75k miles. no warranty will cover to replace. i feel as though i can't trust if my airbags will work if they need to. | |||

| I bought a 2007 suzuki sx4 new. at about 55000 miles, the driver's side airbag light came on. i did a quick, or so i thought, scan from a snap on obd2 scanner, just to find out, that the dealer is the only one who can scan these cars. so i looked on the internet for a solution, to find out that there are alot of people with the same problems. i called the dealer to ask about the situation, seeing as how virginia has state inspections, and the light can not flash or stay on, and was told that i could bring it in at a starting cost of $80 for a scan to find out the problem. it will only be a couple hundred dollars if anything slid under the seat and caused the wires to come out of the connector., is the next thing i was told. after that, seeing as how i looked on line, i asked about the seat cushion issues that i have read so much about, and was told, that would be expensive. i do not understand how this can be as big of a problem, and we the consumer are responsible for their faulty equipment. i also had to ask if the airbag system was still active, and was told no. if the system has a fault, it shut off the whole thing. so my family's safety has no bearing on their wallet. as long as they get your money they don't care? so being as upset as i was i found the u.s.a. corporate number and called to tell them the problem as well and was told, contact your dealer, there is nothing i can do for you. | |||

| Purchased sx4 2007 suzuki 5/31/07. also purchased 60 month/$50,000 mile warranty for $645.00 at time of purchase. on 12/9/2010 at 52,000 thousand miles (2,000 mile ov. warranty), passenger air bag light came on. made appt. to take vehicle to dealership 12/22/10. told sensor was bad and cost approximately $1,000.00 to repair. follow-up call to dealership produced offer to repair at 1/2 the price ($500.00)! ! family has purchased multiple vehicles at dealership. this occurred 2,000 miles (not even one oil change) over warranty when vehicle was only 3 1/2 years old. daughter commutes to college/home in this vehicle, and to work/home. rarely has passengers in vehicle! called american suzuki at 1-800-934-0934. opened a case. told to get back in touch with dealership to provide them with case number. told technical manager would review our case. told dealership may cover part, labor, or both; and we would hear something within 48-72 hours. contacted back by dealership restating original offer. called american suzuki back. told our warranty had expired, and the dealership's offer was a good will gesture. told dealership not required to do anything. well, we are not required to purchase additional suzuki vehicles, or to get ripped-off buying $645.00 good-for-nothing extended warranties with $100.00 deductibles which should not be needed, and usually aren't--until they're expired. air bags are a safety issue, and sensor should be a recall item. not sure if air bag system will work at all, or if car will pass inspection. customers should not have to replace faulty high-priced $$$$ defective parts. american suzuki should responsibly produce quality products and stand behind them. brag about 100,000 mile/10 year warranty. that warranty is very limited as to what it actually covers. good racket: expensive good-for-nothing extended warranties and faulty parts produce good referral business for the dealership's service department. customer satisaction zero. | |||

| The front passenger weight sensor for the srs airbag system had been intermittently going on and off with someone in the seat and out of the seat. this began within 100 miles of ownership, and occurred very frequently. the dealer could never replicate this. they stated the system was designed to work that way even when a 300 lb. tech was sitting in the seat and the light came on showing the airbag system off. the sensor is now completely out, and the airbag light is on along with the passenger seat belt indicator both stay lit continually. now that the sensor is completely out i am outside of my 36,000 mile warranty and am now in my extended warranty i purchased at the time i bought the sx4. the extended warranty will not cover a new sensor which has been quoted to me at $2,600.00. they are sneaking through a loop hole that excludes the airbag system after an accident. in which they won't pay if the airbag has been deployed. i am now stuck with a car that has airbags that may or may not deploy at anytime. i was told chances are in an accident they will not deploy. this is a huge safety concern. i hope to never have an accident, but if you have a safety system you want it to work. this is a common problem for the suzuki sx4's. very few sx4's do not have this issue. and given long enough the airbag system will shut down if the sensor is not replaced, and if this happens outside of the manufacturer warranty your stuck driving a ticking time bomb. i simply hope i'm not driving down the road one day and the airbag system suddenly decides it's time to deploy. i love the car i just wish suzuki would figure out what's wrong with their sensor fix it and replace it for all of us owners before someone gets seriously hurt from a lack of safety restraints. *tr | |||

| At random times, my passenger air bag light will come on while someone is sitting in the seat. the person will then have to move around in the seat to get the light to turn off. sometimes it takes more than ten minutes. i have brought the complaint to a suzuki dealership, and they claim that the problem is normal. i don't feel that this should be right, as if at the time the air bag light was on, and there were to be a accident, the air bag would not deploy, possibly causing great harm to the passenger i would have in the vehicle. *tr | |||

| My suzuki sx4 is now 4 months and 2500 miles old. the airbag off light will come on intermittently when an adult passenger is seated in the front passenger seat. the dealer could not duplicate the problem by placing a 240lb technician in the parked car. the dealer also acknowledged that this occurs on many suzuki vehicles. a call to suzuki america resulted in no action, simply being told that is the way it is designed. sounds to me like it is designed to kill someone. *tr | |||
