“I got in the car, started it up and the air bag light came on with the passengers restraint light. I ran a scan and the seat sensor failed. 2 grand to repair it. No one sits on this side. I'm the original owner and I baby the heck out of this car. This stinks. Now its become a safety issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10578931, filed 2014-04, 145,000 miles“This is a safety issue and I have tried working with Suzuki corp. And my local dealer. They both say I have to replace it at $1,000. New seat or a used one( which I do not want) for $450.00. I am on disability and cannot afford a seat. It should be up to Suzuki to replace this at no charge because of a mechanical defect. I love my SX4 and I am very upset that they will not replace the seat.”
NHTSA complaint #10448499, filed 2012-02, 68,000 miles“2007 SX4 has had the safety bag light on for the past 7 mos. I don't live near a Suzuki dealership, so finally had time to bring it to a dealership to get checked. They mentioned it's a faulty sensor and it would cost ~$1600 w/o labor. I have had the vehicle since nov. 06 and have 75k miles. No warranty will cover to replace. I feel as though I can't trust if my airbags will work if they need to.”

At about 102,000 miles I had an air bag light come on for driver side,to costly to get repaired. Then at about 160,000 miles my front passenger air bag light came on.

NHTSA complaint #10560743, filed 2014-01, 199,000 miles“I bought my SX4 2007 Suzuki nov 2007. I have had problems with gas fumes inside car, took it to service said there were no leaks. Still smells on occasions. Took car to service 3 times the had it for 7 days and could find no problem. It is the worst car I have ever had for poor gas mileage. And also the passenger airbag light comes on constantly. Was told passenger must not be sitting in seat right, give me a break!!!!. I wouldn't recommend this car.”
