I WAS DRIVING MY CAR THROUGH A GRAVEL STREET, I HIT A MAN HOLE AND THE SEAL TO MY AIRBAGS BROKE, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT COME OUT OR DEPLOY FULLY. I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT NOR WAS ANYONE HURT OR INJURED OR ANY PROPERLY DAMAGE DONE, THE FRONT OR REAR SIDE OF MY CAR WAS NOT HIT NOR DAMAGED, THIS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE MUST BE SOME SORT OF DEFECT ON THE CAR, I HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO DEFECT, BUT WHY DIDN'T MY AIRBAGS FULLY DEPLOY OR INFLATE? HAD I NOT BEEN WEARING MY SEATBELT, I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND I FOUND THAT THERE WAS OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL WITH ALMOST THE SAME ISSUES, DEALING WITH THE FRONT AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS. *TR

THE CHECK TRANS/MOTOR LIGHT CAME ON IN MY CAR .I MADE AN APPT. AT SUZUKI. IT WAS ON FOR 6 DAYS. IT WENT OFF, THEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. IT STAYED ON. I MENTIONED THAT THERE WERE LOOSE WIRES HANGING UNDER MY SEAT WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF. THEY SAID A WIRE CAME LOOSE AND THAT I SHOULD NOT PUT ANYTHING UNDER MY SEAT .I SAY THAT THE WIRES ARE SO LOOSE THAT IF SOMEONE PUT THERE FEET UNDER THE SEAT, THERE FEET COULD GET CAUGHT UP IN THE WIRES AND UNHOOK THEM. THEN MY AIRBAGS WON'T WORK, CORRECT? .IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND THEY DON'T WORK, WOULD THAT BE CONSIDERED UNSAFE? THE DEALER SAID THE WIRES HAD TO BE LOOSE BECAUSE THE SEAT MOVES AND THAT NOBODY COULD GET THERE FEET CAUGHT IN THE WIRES. LOOSE WIRES UNDER A SEAT THAT CONTROL A SAFETY DEVICE.. SOUNDS UNSAFE TO ME..I TOOK IT IN FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT IT.. THEY SAID WASN'T BROKE AND GAVE ME A LETTER THAT SAYS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON IF THE PASSENGER IS NOT SEATED CORRECTLY IN THE SEAT.. SOMETIMES IT WORKS, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. THEY FIXED IT THIS TIME, TOO MUCH RESISTANCE. *TR
