Suzuki Reno airbag light comes on

Filed Oct 31, 2024 · Airbags, Electrical · GA

I just bought a Used 2006 Suzuki Reno from a private seller 3 months ago. It has less then 53,000 miles on it so I thought I was getting a great deal. While driving it at night 3 weeks ago, I had my lights on high beam. A car was coming towards me so I flipped the light switch on my steering column. Which is also the blinker switch. And we almost wrecked head on with each other because when I flipped the switch to go to low beam there was no headlights. None whatsoever on low beam. I have driven on my street testing it to make sure it wasn't a 1 time thing. Or possibly my fault. If I have the low beam lights on when I first turn the lights on they work but go dimmer and dimmer as time goes by. And as soon as I flip the switch whether it's from High beam or low beam it's completely dark. No lights on low beam at all after flipping switch. But they work on high beam. I took it to my mechanic and he said there's a short/problem in the headlight switch/blinker switch on the steering column. I can't/don't drive it at night or anytime after 6pm to be safe. Also my mechanic has had to clear the driver side airbag light that has come on my dashboard 2 times. 1st time he thought it was because the service ingine light came on. He had to replace the cam shaft position sensor. Only a week later the airbag light came back on the dashboard. So off to the repair shop I went again, costing more money. He said he was able to clear it. But not for long. 3 days later it was back on. So I checked different options and took my car to a different repair shop. I was told then that this make and model car had issues with the airbag wire harness from the steering column all the way to how the wiring was ran to the front driver seat how it's to be connected under front driver seat. Causing damage to the airbag sensor & module. Son sold car to me after mom died. Told there's recalls for both, didn't know it or have done. 1 site said yes to car recalls another said no. ??? Help Please...

Drivers side airbag light stays on. Not sure airbag would inflate if I was in a accident or if it might inflate on its own while I am driving and cause a accident. I also cannot find a suzuki dealership anymore that could do a recall repair if there is one.

I took my car in to find out why the airbag light for the passenger side was on by the clock and on my dash. Come to find out the part that I need to fix it is hard to find and that the part is also bad. In order to fix my problem it will cost me $2500 to fix it. So I think I will wait till it gets recalled along with the airbags. So now no one can sit in the front passenger seat!!

The airbag warning light turned on without any readily identifiable cause. Several repair facilities cannot seem to find out why it remains on. I suspect this is related to the following tsbs: #ts0501158, #0312234, and #0512234. Why this isn't being treated as a safety issue is unclear to me. This is a known problem that disables a safety system (airbags) in the vehicle.

My airbag lights turned on for my driver's airbag and the passenger airbag. We we had the car serviced, the sensors under the seats were disengaged. No recall. A few months later the lights came on again for both seats. We were in an accident that month and the airbags did not deploy.

Air bag light has been on almost continuously since october 2007 (vehicle purchased new in june 2006). Dealer in nevada checked vehicle october 2007 (mileage 20,788), found codes b1102 low battery voltage and b1378 drivers side resistance too high. Cleared codes, tightened connector under passenger seat (no cost); light was off for about a week then back on. Dealer advised I should just snug up the connector under passenger seat to resolve indicator light and I did this regularly for several years until light wouldn't go out anymore. March 2011 (mileage 62,751) dealer in washington checked car, found codes b1382 right side resistance and b1378 left front side resistance. Cleared codes, cleaned, tightened, and added stabilizer to connectors (charged $105); light was off about 2 days then back on. Air bag light has been on ever since (currently 94,950 miles as of november 18, 2014).

Despite several attempts to fix the connection problems on the side airbags for both the passenger and driver side, the airbag light is still on. This is after suzuki realized that the wiring harness was stretched too tight when the seat was rolled back into it's full length. The fix was to break the connection off of the bottom of the seat, wrap the connection in velcro, and stick the connection onto to carpeted floor. Despite several times of having the airbag light cleared, the light has once again come on. According to online research, many other drivers are having this exact same problem.

From day one, my engine light has come on and I have been dealing with different issues ie, it's the gas cap, the man who sold me the car, (the dealer) took the car to the dealership to be repaired,so much, then he took off, and left massachusetts after selling me a lemon. Etc. How many gas caps do I have to buy? Now at year 2014, the engine and transmission has been replaced, the engine belt snapped, the transmission is acting up, (in july of 2010), and the sensor has gone completely wild, ie, comes on and goes off steadily, had that repaired, and when I drive the engine light still comes on and goes off, off, and on, and now the air bag light steadily does the same, after having it repaired twice. The website www.topix.com/forum/city/florence/al has hundreds of complaints on all of the suzuki vehicles from 2005-2012. How many complaints do you have to have in order to do something about these suzuki vehicles? I don't think it's fair to have to pay for these kind of repairs, still making car notes, on this car, and I have to have top notch insurance. I would like to know what someone is going to do about these vehicles. I am hoping it doesn't have to take someone to be killed in order for something to happen for a recall. The warranty was only for 90 days, and though I exercised it. I got the run around because the dealer, and the dealership didn't do the rightful repairs on this vehicle in the time allowed. The fault is on both.
