2006 Suzuki XL7: airbag warning light

Filed Oct 19, 2015 · Airbags · 61,000 miles · WA

I went out to start my vehicle one morning. After turning the ignition on, the airbag light on the instrument cluster came on, and at the same time the passenger airbag notification light started flashing on the center console. The vehicle was stationary. After calling the local dealership who works on suzukis here, I was told this is a very common problem with this m/m/y of vehicle, and that the repair is between $1.5k-$2k. My vehicle is not old, abused, nor has it been in an accident. With the miles at approx 61,000... Why is there a safety issue regarding my airbag system? After digging around online, I found that this m/m/y vehicle does, in fact, have a large complaint against it regarding the airbag system. Most specifically the exact issue I am having. In light of the massive airbag recall issue, one would assume safety is of utmost importance. I think this issue needs to be addressed.

The ocm sensor in the passenger seat has failed. Therefore my passenger airbag will not deploy in the event of an accident. I am the only driver of this vehicle since I purchased this vehicle in 2007. The passenger seat has rarely been used. It has always remained in the same position. It has never been subject to excess moisture. This seems like a valid safety issue to need a recall of the passenger seat sensor. If someone is in the passenger seat and there is a crash, then there is a good chance the passenger will be subject to more serious injuries. My passenger seat has not been abused, just one day the airbag light came on and never shut off.

Air bag light came on all of a sudden, this effects my passenger air bag warning system also. I took the vehicle to a suzuki service department and was told it was not covered by my warranty service contract, I call my extended warranty co. And they said it was not covered also. This is an airbag sensor malfunction which could be a safety problem.
