I purchased a 2nd hand 2006 suzuki grand vitara. The light for my air bag lit up on my dashboard. When I took it in for servicing, I was informed that the sensor on the front seat passenger air bag module was defective and needed to be replaced. As I conducted my research with the mainland suzuki office and the local dealership, it was presented to me that many, many vehicles of the same was brought it for the same problem. I was not in any accident but was responsible in paying a little over $2,000.00 out of my pocket. Apparently the "black listed" extended warranty that was provided to me at the time of sale, does not cover restraints. I am upset that the manufacturer of this car does not want to take responsibility, and for 2nd hand buyers - we are made financially responsible for paying for the repairs. I am upset on top of being financially drained and would like to know how to proceed in filing a class action law suit. Can you respectfully respond as I was informed that there is a federal supplemental warranty that covers restraints in place?
