I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MITSUBISHI DEALER THAT IS HANDLING SUZUKI REPAIRS FOR SUZUKI IN RESPONSE TO THE RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR ISSUE RELATED TO THE AIRBAG. THE DASH LIGHT FOR AIRBAG ERROR NO LONGER APPEARED AFTER THAT FIX, BUT IT RETURNED WITHIN THREE MONTHS. THE MITSUBISHI DEALER SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED.

I WAS CROSSING A STREET (WITH THE GREEN LIGHT) ENTERING THE DRIVEWAY TO THE APARTMENT COMPLEX, THERE IS A DIP AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE DRIVEWAY SO I WAS DOING ABOUT 3 MPH. A DODGE DURANGO SUV, RAN THE "RED" LIGHT AND STRUCK MY VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR TOTALING THE SUZUKI, KNOCKING THE CAR ABOUT 20 FEET SIDEWAYS, AND RENDERING ME UNCONSCIOUS.. THE DURANGO WAS DOING APPROXIMATELY 45-50 MPH UPON IMPACT, HE WAS NOT LOOKING WHERE HE WAS GOING, HE WAS TALKING TO HIS GIRLFRIEND, AND CONSEQUENTLY DID NOT APPLY THE BRAKES, UNTIL HE STRUCK MY CAR. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED ON THE IMPACT, WHICH ADDED TO THE LATERAL DIRECTION OF TRAVEL OF MY HEAD AND NECK, CAUSING SEVERE WHIPLASH. SUZUKI HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THEIR AIR BAG SYSTEM FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS AND THERE WAS A RECALL OF THE AIR BAG SENSOR, WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED. IN FACT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY OF THE RECALLS ISSUED BY SUZUKI. I HAD DRIVEN THE CAR OVER 100,000 MILES WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL, HOWEVER THE MAIN IMPACT SAFETY FEATURE WAS NOT OPERABLE AND SUZUKI KNEW IT AND FAILED TO INFORM ME. I AM FORTUNATE THAT I AM ALIVE, BROKEN AND BRUISED, BUT ALIVE. MY GRANDSON IS GENERALLY WITH ME, AND WOULD HAVE SURELY BEEN KILLED, HAD HE BEEN IN THE CAR AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYED ON, AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. DEALER FOUND THE CAUSE TO BE " SC-60 OPEN CIRCUIT B1312 ". HAD TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT WORKING AIR BAGS UNTIL DEALER COULD WORK ON THE CAR. DEALER REPLACED PASSENGER SIDE SEAT CUSHION ASSEMBLY (NO CHARGE). SINCE THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT CUSHION WAS NOT REPLACED IT MIGHT EVENTUALLY FAIL JUST LIKE THE PASSENGERS SIDE. PLEASE HAVE SUZUKI RECALL THESE CARS AND REPLACE ALL THE FRONT SEAT CUSHIONS, NOT JUST THE ONES THAT FAIL. *TT

I WAS INVOLVED IN A ROLL OVER ACCIDENT. THE RIGHT WHEEL OF THE CAR SEIZED AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I SUSTAINED SOME SOFT TISSUE INJURIES. *TR

THERE WAS NO INCIDENT. THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT LIGHT AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. INITIALLY, IT BLINKED ON AND THEN OFF. NOW THEY STAY ON CONSTANTLY, LOOKING AT YOUR SITE WE SEE WHERE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. WE FEEL THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE. *TR

SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. WHEN I START THE CAR UP, IT SAYS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS OFF. ALSO, THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT LIGHT IN CONSISTENTLY ON, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, AND REGARDLESS OR WHETHER OR NOT THE SEAT BELT IS PLUGGED IN. I CHECKED MY OWNER'S MANUAL, AS I THOUGHT PERHAPS SOMETHING GOT SHUT OFF, BUT I SEE NOTHING IN THE MANUAL THAT TELLS ME HOW TO TURN THE AIR BAGS ON. I'VE SINCE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE, AND FROM WHAT I'VE READ, MY AIR BAGS MAY NOT GO OFF IF I'M INVOLVED IN A COLLISION, AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER SX4 OWNERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR

OUR AIRBAG AND SEATBELT LIGHTS CAME ON ABOUT A MONTH OR SO AGO AND WOULDN'T GO OFF. WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE NEAREST SUZUKI DEALER WHICH IS ABOUT 100 MILES AWAY. AT FIRST THEY THOUGHT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE SEAT BELT AND AGREED TO A GOODWILL REPAIR OF THIS. WE JUST CAME BACK FROM THAT APPOINTMENT AND FOUND OUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND THAT WE NEED TO REPLACE A SENSOR WHICH WILL COST OVER 800.00. THEY SAID THE AIRBAGS WOULD PROBABLY NOT DEPLOY BUT COULDN'T BE SURE IS ONE OR BOTH BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. THEY WILL CALL THE REP AND SEE WHAT THEY WILL DO. THIS HAPPENED WHEN WE WERE JUST OVER 60,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WE CAN SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE A FATALITY FOR THIS TO BECOME A RECALL. *TR
