What owners wrote

On august 27,2013 I was driving down the road with my 5 year old son in the backseat and we heard a noise and all of the I did not run up on the curve. They just popped out. Luckily my 5 year old did not get hit by the airbags. I received burns on my neck where the airbags hit my seatbelt. In turn it broke the drivers side seatbelt and the passenger side seatbelt. I called suzuki and they sent me a form to sign that would release them from all liabilities and if I did not sign the would not even look at my car.
