problem #2

May 192018

Forester

  • miles
For 2 months since May 19, 2018, the airbag warning sensor light goes on my dashboard while driving and the passenger airbag 'off' warning light also goes on ' see attached photo. This occurrence happens almost every time I drive my vehicle. I brought the vehicle to the dealer twice for repair but the problem still exists. Subaru ' starlink program has notified me with numerous emails that I should have this serious safety issue fixed as soon as possible. After not receiving any satisfaction from the dealer, I called and written twice to Subaru usa headquarters in cherry hill, NJ explaining this serious safety issue of having no active passenger airbag while driving. They stated that a part has to be ordered to repair this serious issue but it has now been 4 weeks since my initial call to headquarters with no results. I feel that they are stalling as there may not be an easy fix available. I'm extremely concern to drive the vehicle without an active passenger airbag protection for the safety of my wife if we were in an accident and there was no airbag deployment.
