Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
The vehicle has suffered from an intermittent airbag light for the past 10k miles but at 110k miles the light has come on and will not go off. I have attempted some of the suzuki owners recommendations of disconnecting and then reconnecting the connectors under the seats to no avail. This appears to be a very common issue with the forenza's and certainly a safety one.
Air bag light stays on since 07-2014 approx. 55,000 miles on car at that time. Dealer says that there is not a recall and suzuki will not cover under warrenty, but they will be happy to take my money. There is a service bulletin # ts050115b.its a safety issue that a lot of people are having.
