NHTSA complaint #10948492, filed 2017-01, 111,000 miles

“Air bag light has been on almost continuously since october 2007 (vehicle purchased new in june 2006). Dealer in nevada checked vehicle october 2007 (mileage 20,788), found codes b1102 low battery voltage and b1378 drivers side resistance too high. Cleared codes, tightened connector under passenger seat (no cost); light was off for about a week then back on. Dealer advised I should just snug up the connector under passenger seat to resolve indicator light and I did this regularly for several years until light wouldn't go out anymore. …”

“My 2006 RENO has had airbag light on all the time for years . It has been reset multiple times , only to come on again . What's entirely wrong with the current airbag recall that the NHTSA is currently having is the fact Suzuki ( GM ) is trying to say it only effects grand vitara's and sx4's . I beg to differ . This company new all along the airbag problem existed , just check some of the old Suzuki problem bulletins 4&5 years ago . And it's not only 290,000 vehicles and/or only 2 models . This recall should absolutely be increased to cover RENO's , forenza's etc; . …”

“Air bag lights repeatedly turn on even after recommended fixes. The current TSB out there is an out of pocket fix for the consumer in spite of issue while under warranty. Now that the vehicle is out of warranty it is cost prohibitive to continue fixing the airbag when the light comes back on a few days later. Two years of airbag issues and still not resolved.”

NHTSA complaint #10357446, filed 2010-09, 12,000 miles

“My airbag lights turned on for my driver's airbag and the passenger airbag. We we had the car serviced, the sensors under the seats were disengaged. No recall. A few months later the lights came on again for both seats. We were in an accident that month and the airbags did not deploy.”
