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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 suzuki xl7. While driving at various speeds, the passenger side air bag warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the failure would occur intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the flexibility of the sensor would make the sensor read the passenger's weight intermittently. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 125,225.
