2005 Suzuki Reno Air bags Problems

“Airbag warning light came on for no reason.vehicle has never been in any kind of accident. I have read online that this a common problem with the RENO and forenza. There are problems with seat sensors/wiring and clocksprings. Suzuki has long known of the problem ,but will not issue a recall for this vehicle. I was told by the dealer that they have issued a recall on the xl7 and grand vitara for this problem. I have also read of accidents involving these vehicles w/ injuries in which airbags did not deploy. Suzuki needs to step up and address this costly/safety issue.”

“I have a 2005 Suzuki RENO. The airbag light is on all the time and has beenfor about a year. There is a technical service bulletin from Suzuki on the matter, so they realize it is a common problem on both the driver and passenger side. Suzuki will not repair it free of charge although it is a design fault. I would like a recall to fix the problem. A technical service bulletin only fixes what is potentially a dangerous problem, caused by bad design, at my expense. Here is the TSB from Suzuki component description: 1. …”

“I have a 2005 Suzuki RENO. The driver's side and passenger side air bag warning light is on constantly. I have taken it back to Suzuki who admits there is a TSB for this fault but have said to me that they repair it and within a few miles the fault returns. This presents a significant danger of injury to the driver and front seat passenger as the air bag may not deploy in the event of an accident or may deploy for no reason while driving. This is something that by virtue of a TSB, Suzuki has seen as a problem on Suzuki, RENO and forenza models, but which they refuse to repair at their cost. …”

“I got my car in may, 2006. It was brand new when I bought it, but it was in the shop only six days after. I began to notice that my car would jerk when it was shifting gears (although it was an automatic). Over about a week's time, it got much worse and I had to bring it in for repairs. I was told that the transmission had not been updated. I brought it back three more times with the same problem. The 4th time I brought it back, it was so bad that not only was it jerking while shifting, but while staying at a steady speed as well. …”

“Airbag warning light came on when car was just over a year old. Had it reset at dealership, came back on within hours. Called back and was told it is a common problem on Suzuki renos and forenzas. Ai bag light will not shut off. Suzuki will not fix even though they know it is a common problem on it. There is a technical service bulletin. If the car is involved in an accident, the air bag will not deploy. I believe that Suzuki should be forced to recall all cars impacted and repair free of charge to the customer. …”
