“Passenger side seat is not recognizing a passenger is in the seat, so air bag is off and alert light stays on and off periodically. The light comes on once we are stationary and may go off and on as the car is in motion. Vehicle has 72200 miles a and I am worried the air bag will not deploy if needed. The sensor in the passenger seat appears to not work as it should.”
NHTSA complaint #10787428, filed 2015-10, 72,200 miles“We have a 2007 Suzuki XL-7. The side and back airbags deployed for no reason. We have a police report stating no accident or damage to the vehicle. Suzuki will not take any responsibility for their product, geico cannot do anything unless they get a written statement from Suzuki who refuses to talk to them and now me. This is a warranty issue since the SUV is a 2007 and has only 27,000 miles. Please help.”
