I was involved in a car crash another car t=bone me on driver's side the air bag on steering wheel and passenger side did come out but they shredded and had some kind of shortage from under them that smoked like they were fixing to get on fire, also the airbag over the driver side door did not come out, we were injured from the crash I was seriously injured from the impact but scares me that the car could of caught on fire from the shortage some one needs too check on the make and models of these car before…
The "passenger air bag light off" warning light came on while we were driving on a city street even thought a 170lb passenger was sitting in the passenger seat, wearing a seat belt. We were near the authorized suzuki dealer in milford, ct where we bought the car a few weeks earlier, so I stopped in and informed the sales manager. He said to show the service dept. There was no one in service that had time to see the light on so I brought it in for service appt. They said there was no code when they scanned the car.
