SUZUKI Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SUZUKI XL7. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED HER THAT THE OCM SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,200.

2008 SUZUKI SX4 AIRBAG SYSTEM WENT OUT DUE TO A SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. TO REPLACE THE SEAT THROUGH THE DEALER WOULD COST $2500.00. WE HAVE CONTACTED SUZUKI WITH NO LUCK. THE CAR IS COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT WHEN CONTACTED WE WERE TOLD THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT COVERED. WE WONDER WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. WE DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE THE SEAT AND WILL HAVE TO DRIVE WITHOUT AIRBAGS AND THE ERROR LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF UNTIL FIXED. *TR

2008 SUZUKI SX4 CROSSOVER AIRBAG LIGHT. LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY TURNS ON AND OFF. SUZUKI COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM UNTIL THE LIGHT STAYED ON. PROBLEM STARTED WITH 8,000 MILES ON CAR, AND FINALLY FAILED AT 101,000 MILES BUT SUZUKI SAYS ITS UNRELATED EVEN THOUGH ITS THE SAME LIGHT. REFUSES TO FIX PROBLEM AS WARRANTY ISSUE. MANY OTHER REPORTS OF DEFECTIVE SEAT SENSORS RUMORED SECOND VERSION OF PART FIXES PROBLEM, NO RECALL? *TR

I HAVE A 2008 SUZUKI SX-4 CROSSOVER. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON, SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO MY DEALER TO HAVE THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE WARRANTY ON THAT ITEM RAN OUT AT 30,000 MILES. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT WAS GOING TO BE OVER $1,500.00. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON LINE, AND FINDING OUT THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, I JUST WONDER IF THERE ISN'T MORE THAN ENOUGH CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS TO HAVE A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE FOR SOME OWNERS. *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON MY 2008 SUZUKI SX4 CAME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 35,000 MILES. DEALER STATES IT IS A SENSOR PROBLEM AND CAN BE REPAIRED FOR $1,200.00. INTERNET RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THIS PROBLEM AS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL SUZUKI. ONE MECHANIC AT DEALERSHIP STATED NOT TO WORRY AIRBAGS WOULD STILL DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT . ANOTHER MECHANIC DISPUTED THIS STATEMENT AND SAID THEY WOULD NOT. AS STATED EARLIER I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM ON MANY DIFFERENT WEBSITES. *TR
