- Fort Washington, MD, USA

On 5/24/2023 while driving with a front passenger, the passenger seat belt warning light, chime and airbag warning came on for no reason. Stopped the car at a red traffic light and turned ignition off and then on to hopefully clear the warning. There was no power to any system. The ignition switch did not work and I could not get the transmission out of park to push the car off the road. Could not activated anything on the dash including the hazard warning. Being in a single lane road, traffic was traveling around us on both sides. We could have been rear ended. I opened the driver's door and all power to the dash came back. It took 4 attempts to start before the engine started. All settings and radio had to be reprogrammed. Stopped at the dealer and they ask if this was the first occurence. (It was) They said if it happened again to bring the car in. The car has been normal since.

Takata recall. Today is 23 March 2019. The first date for a service appoiontment for a takata bag recall is in October 2019. Is a 7 month repair delay acceptable? the manufacturer recommends not using the passenger seat in the front of the vehicle. 7 months is a long time to put me or my wife in the rear seat.

Takata recall Subaru has said it will be at least 3 months before they will have the parts to replace my airbag, and in the meantime no one should ride in the front passenger seat. When I complained about the long wait, Subaru of America said I should ask for a loaner, which my local Subaru dealer is unable to do. I need to be able to use my front passenger seat to fit everyone in. I don't think I should have to wait three months.

"takata recall" this letter is a follow up to my initial complaint # 10983517 dated 5/4/2017.as of today, October 16, my 2010 Subaru Forester has not been recalled. Local Subaru dealers inform me I do not have a defective takata airbag;I find this suspect. Do you have a database that identifies the manufacturer and model number of my passenger seat airbag and if not who has that database? I have been told conflicting info. From Subaru corporate and local dealers that no one should be seating in the passenger seat to "no worries".I need to know definitively if anyone seated in the passenger seat of my car is at risk. Thank you for your help. I look forward to your reply. Very truly yours, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
