Forester X 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,000 miles

Brought car in and asked to get it fixed. They cleared it and then it came back again. At first it was intermittent and then full time. I have 121K and the light is still on. Local garage cannot reset the light - needs dealer to look at it.

The airbag light comes on sporadically, maybe half the time. So far I've ignored it, but the reality is that it's fairly dangerous. Whenever the airbag light is on, the SRS system is disabled so anyone riding in the car wouldn't be as well-protected in a crash as they would normally be.
