AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
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. I DON'T FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE RIGHT, AS IF AT THE TIME THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON, AND THERE WERE TO BE A ACCIDENT, THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY, POSSIBLY CAUSING GREAT HARM TO THE PASSENGER I WOULD HAVE IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

EQUIPMENT, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
CONDENSATION IS BUILDING UP INSIDE THE AC UNIT THAT IS LOCATED BEHIND THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE INTERIOR. WHEN THE A/C IS OPERATING, IT DRIPS AND WHEN IT IS BEING DRIVEN, IT FLOWS A STEADY STREAM OF WATER, WHICH CONTINUES AFTER THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES. *TR

MULTIPLE TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HARD TO START. IT CRANKS FOR A WHILE BUT DOES NOT START ON THE FIRST TRY. ON THE SECOND IT CRANKS FOR A WHILE AND JUST BARELY STARTS. ONE TIME IT STARTED ON THE THIRD TRY. IT SEEMS LIKE THE FUEL PUMP IS NOT PRIMING THE LINES IN TIME. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
MY SUZUKI SX4 IS NOW 4 MONTHS AND 2500 MILES OLD. THE AIRBAG OFF LIGHT WILL COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BY PLACING A 240LB TECHNICIAN IN THE PARKED CAR. THE DEALER ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS OCCURS ON MANY SUZUKI VEHICLES. A CALL TO SUZUKI AMERICA RESULTED IN NO ACTION, SIMPLY BEING TOLD THAT IS THE WAY IT IS DESIGNED. SOUNDS TO ME LIKE IT IS DESIGNED TO KILL SOMEONE. *TR
