THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSISTENTLY ON AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT IT'S THE PASSENGER SEAT THAT IS CAUSING THE LIGHT TO BE ACTIVATED. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY THE DEALER APPROXIMATELY $2000.00 TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SEAT AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT? SUZUKI SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF SOMEONE IS HURT OR POSSIBLY KILLED IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG ISN'T ACTIVATED, BECAUSE OF A SEAT MAT THAT THEY PLACED IN THE VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT SEEMS THAT OTHER DRIVER'S OF SUZUKI SX4 CARS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

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.

AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FOR FOUR YEARS. AFTER RECIEVED RECALL NOTIFICATION VIA MAIL (1 YEAR AGO). SUBMITTED REQUEST TO FIX PASSENGER SEAT TO THE ONLY SUZUKI DEALERSHIP ON OHAU, HAWAII AND THEY STATED, "MY VEHICLE DIDN'T FALL UNDER THE RECALL" AND THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPAIR THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THEY COULDN'T PIN POINT THE PROBLEM AND REFUSED TO CONTACT SUZUKI TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVES. AS THE SECOND OWNER AND ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY, I CANNOT GO BACK TO THE STATE IN WHICH I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE DUE TO MILITARY ORDERS TO HAVE ANY OTHER SUZUKI DEALERSHIP FIX THIS. ADDITIONALLY, WITH THE SAFTEY INSPECTION LAWS IN HAWAII, I CANNOT REGISTER THIS CAR IN THIS STATE UNLESS PAY FOR THE ENTIRE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM OR WAIT TILL THE DEALERSHIP CHANGES THIER MIND ABOUT DOING THE RECALL ON MY CAR. THIS SITUATION I AM IN NOW IS UNSATISFACTORY AND PUTS MY FAMILY AND MY SELF AT RISK.

TRYING TO GET VEHICLE INSPECTED AND THE INSPECTION GUY INFORMED THAT THERE IS A PROBABLY LEAK IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM CAUSING LOUD NOISE. THE NOISE COULD BE HEARD IN THE CAR EVEN WHEN NOT HIT HEAVY ON THE GAS PEDAL. ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE IS REASONABLE OLD, FOR 50K MILES SUCH BREAKAGE IS EXHAUST IS NOT EXPECTED. THIS COULD BE A RESULT OF FAULTY EQUIPMENT OR MISFITTING. BASICALLY I NEED TO GET IT FIXED BEFORE IT CAN PASS STATE INSPECTION.
