THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS LOOKS LIKE AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR SUZUKI OWNERS. THIS REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED BY SUZUKI BECAUSE IT SHOULD BE LISTED AS A DEFECT REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS. PLEASE DON'T LIMIT THE RECALL TO POST 2006 CARS IT'S BEEN HAPPENING TO EARLIER YEARS AS WELL. *TR

ODI #10157212

Incident: May 9, 2006 · Filed: May 10, 2006

MY VEHICLE LOCKED AFTER SHUTTING THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR. I JUST PLACED MY SON IN THE CAR SEAT AND BUCKLED HIM. I SHUT THE DOOR AND WALK COMPLETELY AROUND THE CAR TO OPEN FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR. BEFORE I COULD OPEN DOOR, THE VEHICLE LOCKED ITSELF WITH MY SON, KEYS, AND PHONE INSIDE. IT WAS 94 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND HUMID. WE CALLED FOR HELP AND TRIED TO SLIDE ANTENNA IN TO UNLOCK. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP, GARRETT SAID THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND THE NEW PARTS MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *NM
