Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)Air Bag light came on in the Dash, also passenger seat belt not on light came on in the clock. I took the car to Planet Automotive Group here in Charlotte, they ran a Diagnostic on the vehicle and found a b1448 code for passenger seat mat defect. I called the manufacture at [XXX] talked to a person named [XXX], I was told this is no longer under warranty and they could not help. I disagreed with her, told her this was a very serious safety issue and they should help with the cost of replaced/repair. Was told sorry. Need you help am 85 year old and don't have funds for new seat which cost $3750.00 INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT IS ON EVEN WITH PASSENGER IN SEAT. I AM SURPRISE THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY AND EVEN FATALITIES. SUZUKI ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE GRAND VITARAS. THIS IS DOWN RIGHT PATHETIC AND IS A SLAP IN THE FACE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. I WILL DEFINITELY BE FILING A LAWSUIT ABOUT THIS MATTER IF NOTHING DONE ABOUT THIS MATTER.

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG CUSHION IS ACTIVATED BY WEIGHT, GOING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAUTION DASH PANEL LIGHTS CAME ON, INDICATING THAT MY WIFE WAS UNDER I THINK 40 LBS.

2007 SUZUKI FORENZA...AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON, HAD IT FIXED FOUR TIMES AND ITS BACK ON AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY INTRIGUING SITUATION AS WELL AS VERY DANGEROUS.

THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON TO SHOW THE AIR BAG IS NOT WORKING EVEN IF I HAVE A PASSENGER SEATED PROPERLY IN THE FRONT SEAT.

WE HAD OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THAT CAR AS WELL AND THE DEALER TOOK IT BACK AND SOLD US THE 2007 WHICH HAS SOME OF THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF SINCE WE GOT THE CAR IN MARCH OF 2007. *TR
