Problems with 2007 Suzuki Forenza AIR BAGS

Car was traveling between 40-45mph, on a major two lane road. pavement was wet. car in front stopped fast, suzuki rear ended that vehicle. driver only occupant in car suzuki-air bag did not deploy. front of car crushed back to engine, engine mount broken.

Vehicle has odor of smoke or unknown smell advised suzuki who referred me to someone who does not handle repairs. i advised them i work for an auto body who states vehicle is unsafe to drive- passenger air bag light is also on. recall notice advises of significant risk of fire. steering column looks to be warped and ignition switch is not working.

I bought 2007 suzuki forenza with only 50 miles on it. i have had nothing but problems with it and now it poses a safety risk since the dealership can't find anything about it. it suddenly stops while i am driving. i lose control and need to move it all the way across the highway. i have come several times close to being hit. all lights on the dashboard are showing even though it might not be the problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 suzuki forenza. the contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the air bag deployed without warning. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there was a spill in the console where the air bag was housed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 156,000.

Passenger air bag light on dashboard is continually on. the dealer says that the fault lies in the bottom seat cushion and sensing apparatus. a replacement costs over $900. the dealer said that if the warning light is on the air bag may not function in the event of a crash. the dealer also said that this has been an issue on forenza's. *tr

The passenger seat air bag cushion is activated by weight, going down the road the caution dash panel lights came on, indicating that my wife was under i think 40 lbs. which is not no where near correct. since this incident the lights indicating the air bags are not activated, remain on continually when the wagon is running. i believe this could be a safety hazard if an accident were to occur. please respond!! thanks

Transmission range sensor, is going out my car will not stay in gear anymore very dangerous to drive and is not covered under warranty and cost 300 dollars also my air bad sensor on the driver side does not go off anymore and have already broke a door handle suzuki is horrible which haven't checked the price on those and i have saw a lot of people are having the same problems. *tr

The front passenger air bag light comes on to show the air bag is not working even if i have a passenger seated properly in the front seat. it does not do this all the time but it happens enough to concern me and my wife. i had the same problem with a 2006 model year of the same car. we had other problems with that car as well and the dealer took it back and sold us the 2007 which has some of the same problems. this has been happening on and off since we got the car in march of 2007. *tr

First was the seats belt this was fix , after that was the trans range switch i have to pay because they refuse to pay for that and now is the air bag light is on and i call the manufacturer and they send me to the shop but the shop refuse to check the car because the warranty is expire but this car is from 2007. *tr

Passenger air bag doesn't longer turn on when a passenger is sitting on the passenger side sit and the air bag warning light on the dashboard is always on. i have taking this issue to many dealers and the system work for around only 2 week and then the issue comes back and the warning light turn on again and passenger airbags does not longer work again. *tr

Oxygen sensor was bad 3 months after buting car, both airbags in dash are defective. sensors are lighting up and it says can deploy at any time get car serviced. my dealership acts like they don't want to help me. *tr
