Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I notified my car dealership, Suzuki that my seatbelt on the passengers side was not operating correctly. They stated that I would have to pay $85 for them to make a diagnostic evaluation. Then pay for whatever parts/labor to correct the problem. The seat belt does not come all the way out, it appears that the spring latch that control it is broken. They stated that the seatbelt was not covered under any warranty after a certain number of mileage. My question is this is a safety issue and it should be covered for the life of the vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10341843, filed 2010-07, 49,000 miles“My vehicle (in addition to headlights that burn out frequently), has had the airbag sensor control light and seat belt light illuminated off and on for the past few months, accompanied by the high pitched beep-beep-beep ...alarming, of course. Mine also came on a little of 54,000 mile. As it is intermittent, and I am generally in the vehicle alone, I haven't had it looked at or replaced. This will happen when no one and/or nothing is on the front seat. Various speeds (from 35 MPH to freeway speeds). E lights for the front passenger seat airbag and seatbelt are constantly on. …”
NHTSA complaint #10376621, filed 2011-01, 54,000 miles“I was traveling on the highway at about 55 miles per hour when the passenger airbag and seatbelt light came on. Then the dash airbag light came on and stays on constantly. Now the passenger airbag light comes on and goes off at any time with or without a passenger.”
NHTSA complaint #10521779, filed 2013-06, 88,500 miles“A hot day or any bag weighing over 5 lbs. Will trigger the passenger seat sensor for the air bag. The only way to stop this problem is to permanently buckle the passenger seatbelt.”
NHTSA complaint #10523512, filed 2013-07, 47,703 miles“Airbag sensor control module and seat belt light problem. The lights for the front passenger seat airbag and seatbelt are constantly on. They came on at approximately 56000 miles. I was told by Suzuki of nashville that it was possibly the sensor in the front passenger seat, but not sure. Cost of $2700 to repair. Also I was told that they do not know if the airbags will deploy or if the seat belt will catch when brakes are activitated. This is a safety issue and should be addressed by Suzuki - possible a recall would be the proper approach. …”
