Currently have a airbag light on my dash that only goes away for a minute when i hit a bump as well as the passenger seat not detecting there is someone there so their airbag light says its off, no one will help when you call suzuki but they want to keep sending things like fuel tank may crack and occupant classification system or about the airbags, me and my passenger or just me are at risk of definitely a head injury because of our airbags not even working because the seat is not detecting us, my airbag light stays on never comes off since 2023 but suzuki dont want to offer any help, this car has become a problem with all the money being put into it just for there to be recalls and my car not wanting to work half the time
