2009 SUZUKI SX4 Complaints

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. *TR

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. *TR

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2009 SUZUKI SX4 CROSSOVER AND WAS RECENTLY IN A COLLISION. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH IN A FORWARD DIRECTION WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE CROSSED FROM ONE PARKING LOT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD TRYING TO GET INTO A PARKING LOT DIRECTLY ACROSS TO MY RIGHT. I APPLIED THE BRAKES BEFORE WE COLLIDED, BUT STILL ENDED UP COLLIDING WITH THE OTHER VEHICLE IN A T-BONE POSITION. I HAVE FRONT, PASSENGER, AND SIDE SKIRT AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE AND NOT ONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE FRONT ENGINE COMPARTMENT TO MY VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY SMASHED IN AND THE OTHER VEHICLE HAD EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE BETWEEN THE FRONT AND REAR DOORS. BOTH MY PASSENGER AND I WERE WEARING SEATBELTS, SO WE WERE WIPED FORWARD AND BOTH HAD OUR HEADS COLLIDE WITH THE HEADRESTS OF OUR SEATS. WE WERE BOTH TAKEN ON BACKBOARDS BY AMBULANCE TO THE LOCAL HOSPITAL. BOTH POLICE OFFICERS AND THE EMT'S AT THE SCENE STATED THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED WITH SUCH EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. *TR

I GOT AN OIL CHANGE AT GOSS SUZUKI IN MADISON, TENNESSEE. APPROXIMATELY 1.5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD FROM THE DEALERSHIP. MY BRAKES WENT OUT AND THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES UNDERNEATH. WHEN I GOT THE CAR STOPPED FINALLY, THE HOOD BURST INTO FLAMES. *TR
