Filed Sep 13, 2015 · Airbags · 55,000 miles · NY

Service air bag service light comes on and goes off. Passenger air bag light comes on and goes off regardless of weight on the passenger seat. Since suzuki is out of business, I took it to my trusted mechanic. He said he didn't want to even look at it. Air bags are very expensive and he did not want to be responsible for it. Take it to a dealer. So I found a mitsubishi dealer (which serviced a recall on our 2008 suzuki grand vitara - see below) and they said it will cost a few hundred dollars just to look at it. Why has this not been recalled! I ask. They said they did not know. That we are not the first people to ask. For the record we also own a 2008 suzuki grand vitara x-sport which was recalled for the same reason and fixed. The mitsubishi dearer acully replaced the lower passenger side seat. When we picked up the car I couod not help notice a dumpster out back over flowing with seats. This is a huge safety problem. We are afrad to drive the car an don't have hundreds for the repair!!

Filed Nov 3, 2010 · Tires · 33,000 miles · PA

I have a 2009 suzuki xl7 with 33,000 miles on it. The first cold day of the year my check tire pressure lite cam on. I went to a local time pump and set the tire pressure on one two of the tires, when I inflated the third tire the stem broke off and my tire deflated. I then completed a visual inspection of the fourth tire and found that is was cracked and lose . The cap was spinning and would not come off. I took the car back to where I purchased it and they told me I forced them and broke them off and made me pay for the repair even though the car is under a bumper to bumper warranty. I have asked for the parts back and I am not done with this.
