2008 Suzuki SX4 airbags complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 74 of 74, newest first, as owners wrote them.
At an early mileage (~18000 mi) the passengers airbag when on indicating the airbag was disabled. I took the car to the dealer but they said if it was not on at that time, they could do anything. The problem persisted until now that the main panel airbag light is permanently on. I called the dealer and they said there is no longer under warranty due to the mileage. I also started a research on this specific topic on this car model and it seems it is a common issue among them. Since the dealer rep. Said no a single airbag will deploy in an accident, I suggest the federal safety agency to investigate this problem as a manufacturers defect.
Air bags did not deploy and 30-40 miles per hour in wreck, car was totaled by insurance company, 2008 suzuki sx-4, 28000 miles on car.
Shortly after I purchased my car I told the dealer that the passenger airbag indicator light was saying it was off occasionally, even when people were sitting in it. They told me the person must be "sitting in the seat wrong." I asked them about it again a week ago and they said "they must be sitting in the seat wrong." I said it didn't matter how the person is sitting, it still comes on. Then they told me it depends on the weight of the person sitting in the passenger seat. I said it was happening with someone 150 pounds and 250 pounds. Then they told me it was a "design flaw with the car" and they couldn't do anything about it.
