The contact owns a 2012 Subaru Impreza. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the front passenger air bag warning lamp illuminated even though there was an occupant in the front seat. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who stated that the occupancy seat sensor detected wetness from the passenger's clothing which resulted to the sensor not operating properly. The manufacturer was not made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 12,800. Updated 08/29/12

Driving down the road with a passenger, airbag light switches to off and the airbag light on the dash illuminates. Passenger can then unbuckle seat belt and no alarms sound alerting that the seatbelt is off. This has happened on several occasions. Took to dealer and they blamed it on a pair of jumper cables under the seat. Service writer told me it could happen if someone didn't have enough water in their system, which is bs. If its not bs then I don't feel safe with a passenger. Even after jumper cables were removed the problem still occurs. Have seen many issues on forums with same problem.

While driving the vehicle, the passenger air bag indicator was indicating that it was off while a passenger was sitting in the seat. This is unusual because if something such as a purse is placed in the seat, the indicator will change from off to on due to the seat being occupied. I think this is very unsafe and I fear driving the vehicle with a passenger in the seat. This is very alarming to me because there are many times I have 4 children in the car with me. 3 in the back of course and one in the front.
