Tl*- the contact owns a 2007 suzuki sx4 ,and stated that when she pulled open the door it almost knocked her out cold, the top point of the door dug into her forehead. The failure mileage was 400 miles, the current mileage was 1,800 . Update 4/23/07
Ok where do I begin, I have had this car for 5 yrs., and it is a piece of crap. The air conditioner leaks water inside the car, I had it blown out and it didn't help, the power steering pump leaks, I don't have any power steering, the air bag light stays on. I paid 15,000 for this car, I feel its a lemon, but can't prove it, cause I don't have receipts from the last 12months. Does anybody else have these problems. I'm just sick of it, I know I got ripped off. What can I do about it, I will never buy another suzuki.
At random times, my passenger air bag light will come on while someone is sitting in the seat. The person will then have to move around in the seat to get the light to turn off. Sometimes it takes more than ten minutes. I have brought the complaint to a suzuki dealership, and they claim that the problem is normal.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 suzuki sx4. While driving approximately 30 MPH the air bag warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. He had to turn off the engine to reset the warning message. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, and the technician concluded that the air bag connector module failed. The vehicle has not been repaired at this time. The failure mileage was 56,000. The current mileage was 64,000.
