I received a recall notice regarding the air bags malfunction in the early part of 2014. In fact my air bag light stays on and will not turn off. I took my car to the recommended dealer, and waited 3 hours, while the dealer (big red) tried to sell me another car for all that time, only to be told 3 hours later that they didn't have the part to repair this problem. This was done in march 2014 and to date - july 2014 as of this letter, I still haven't been notified that they ever received the part, so this condition remains unfixed. Report receipt date: sep 06, 2013 the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v405000 component(s): air bags could you please also help me with this, I noticed that I have replaced the same head lights over 4 times in one year, the last time the light went out the gentleman at oreily's showed me that the headlamp switch was burnt, and told me there must be some electrical problem with the switch and to be very careful. I did read where there are recalls for problems with overheating headlamp switch and module that poses a risk of fire. Date of incident: 02/12/2013 the federal safety agency id number: 10618387 component(s): exterior lighting lastly I have a transfer case problem and the car gets stuck in 4wd has anything to do with the power train recall? All my 4wd lights are blinking, I was just wondering if you knew if these problems maybe related.

Please help me with these issues, where I can go to get these things repaired, and not just waste my time with a dealer who is just trying to sell cars and not fix the recalls, by the way I did call before I came and scheduled an appointment, so they knew what I came for and they told me to bring the car in for the recall of the air bag situation. Lastly do you think it is possible that my transfer case has anything to do with the power train recall? Currently my car is still under dealer warranty so they are covering this repair, I was just wondering if you knew if these problems maybe related. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated!

The air bag sensor in my suzuki grand vitara 2007 does not register when an adult sits in the seat. The passenger airbag turns itself off. Having takin the car to the dealer and was informed in order to fix I would have pay over 2,000 dollars to have the passenger seat replaced. Now a few months later, the passenger seat belt light stays on whenever anyone sits in the front seat as well as the air bag light on the dash even though the seat belt is buckled in.. This is a common problem with suzuki grand vitaras. They refused to cover the seat and sensor under warranty when the problem first occurred and I do not have the 2,000 to replace the seat so I have had to deal with it... Had to learn how to adjust my self in the seat so that sensor would work properly but now it seems the seatbelt system is also failing. I think suzuki should have to recall these vehicles and fix this safety issue. I found 100s of complaints online for the same exact problem. Now I can't even sell or trade in my vehicle because of this problem due to safety issues unless I pay the 2,000 to have the seat replaced.. Now I fear my airbags and or seatbelt may not work in the event of an accident.. Why is suzuki not being held responsible for this design flaw. This is not the fault of the consumers and suzuki should have to pay for repairs via a recall..

The passenger seat weight sensor indicates no weight in the seat and the yellow light on the console is on. A passenger can be in the seat with the seat belt buckled and the light indicates the passenger air bag is off. It also indicates on the dashboard with a red light that all the air bags are disabled. I have researched this on the internet and this is also common on the 2006 model also. It is happening to many 2006 and 2007 grand vitara suzuki vehicles. It is a common problem for these vehicles and is a safety hazard. Suzuki wants over 1600.00- 2000.00 dollars to repair the problem. They informed me the warranty has expired after 36 months or 36000 miles. The parts to fix this problem is a dealer stock item only. Will it take many deaths for suzuki to recall this and fix the problem. We need the help of the federal safety agency because suzuki will not take the responsibility nor admit that this a design fault for these vehicles. I am sure you have many reports of this issue and we the owners of these vehicles need relief. We cannot trade in these vehicles without having the expensive repairs made. While trying to trade in my vehicle the first question was is the air bag lights on in the dash and on the console. If the dealerships are aware of the problem and want the repairs done suzuki knows there is a flaw in the seat weight modules, please help the many owners of these vehicles. I am the original owner of this vehicle and only have 37000 miles on my car. Will it take an injury, crash or fire to force suzuki to recall this problem. I am afraid to drive this vehicle and only do so to go shopping or doctor appointments. I am disabled and cannot afford 1600-2000 dollars to repair something that suzuki knows is a problem with all of these vehicles.

Started car and air bag light first blinked like it was suppose to and went off. Went to put car in gear and notice the light was on again and this time it did not go out. Then a few minutes later I notice the passenger side seat belt light was on also and no one was present in that seat. On research on the internet I have learned this is a major problems with suzuki owners of different models. A lot of vehicles with less miles then my vehicle, I can not get my car inspected or even trade it in with the light on and told it could cost me up to $1400.00 to fix. Of course suzuki does not care this has become a money maker for them. There has to be a defect in the air bag system they placed in the vehicles for so many people to be having the same problem. Of course the biggest problem is now the air bag are not going to work in a crash. Please check into this for all us suzuki owners who are trapped.. I understand the sensor for the air bags are in the seat.

After noticing that the airbag light which monitors inflators, crash sensors, seat belt pretension, the front passenger sensing system, and corresponding electrical circuits stayed on after starting the car, I took it to the suzuki dealer. After they inspected it, they told me that the problem was a sensor in the driver seat. He told me me that the sensor was inside the drivers seat and that the drivers seat with the sensor inside would cost $1,984.42 plus labor. I contacted the suzuki main offices in brea, ca who offered to replace the whole assembly at a cost to me for a total of $300. I don't think I should pay for that since it is a manufacturer's defect and the differences in price between the dealer and the manufacturer means that they own the responsibility. I am now driving with the sensor light on and the airbag may or may not deploy because of this. 06/
