Air Bag light came on in the Dash, also passenger seat belt not on light came on in the clock. I took the car to Planet Automotive Group here in Charlotte, they ran a Diagnostic on the vehicle and found a b1448 code for passenger seat mat defect. I called the manufacture at [XXX] talked to a person named [XXX], I was told this is no longer under warranty and they could not help.

What 2007 Suzuki Forenza owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Passenger airbag off light is on even with passenger in seat. I am surprise there is not a recall for this problem which can lead to serious injury and even fatalities. Suzuki issued a recall for the grand vitaras. This is down right pathetic and is a slap in the face to their customers. I will definitely be filing a lawsuit about this matter if nothing done about this matter.
Car was traveling between 40-45mph, on a major two lane road. Pavement was wet. Car in front stopped fast, suzuki rear ended that vehicle. Driver only occupant in car suzuki-air bag did not deploy. Front of car crushed back to engine, engine mount broken.
Vehicle has odor of smoke or unknown smell advised suzuki who referred me to someone who does not handle repairs. I advised them I work for an auto body who states vehicle is unsafe to drive- passenger air bag light is also on. Recall notice advises of significant risk of fire. Steering column looks to be warped and ignition switch is not working.
I bought 2007 suzuki forenza with only 50 miles on it. I have had nothing but problems with it and now it poses a safety risk since the dealership can't find anything about it. It suddenly stops while I am driving. I lose control and need to move it all the way across the highway. I have come several times close to being hit. All lights on the dashboard are showing even though it might not be the problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 suzuki forenza. After the vehicle was started, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 81,118. ...updated 01/20/16 *bf
The passenger seat air bag cushion is activated by weight, going down the road the caution dash panel lights came on, indicating that my wife was under I think 40 lbs. Which is not no where near correct. Since this incident the lights indicating the air bags are not activated, remain on continually when the wagon is running. I believe this could be a safety hazard if an accident were to occur. Please respond!! Thanks
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 suzuki forenza. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the air bag deployed without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there was a spill in the console where the air bag was housed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 156,000.
Passenger air bag light on dashboard is continually on. The dealer says that the fault lies in the bottom seat cushion and sensing apparatus. A replacement costs over $900. The dealer said that if the warning light is on the air bag may not function in the event of a crash. The dealer also said that this has been an issue on forenza's.
Passenger air bag doesn't longer turn on when a passenger is sitting on the passenger side sit and the air bag warning light on the dashboard is always on. I have taking this issue to many dealers and the system work for around only 2 week and then the issue comes back and the warning light turn on again and passenger airbags does not longer work again.
