I just bought this car. I looked recall history. I saw that one of the recalls for this car was faulty (ODS)occupants detection system and the record showed that it is fixed. However, I just found out today that ODS system is still faulty.

- Columbus, OH, USA

The occupant detection sensor (ods) cannot detect a person when seated in the passenger. I have attempted to sit in the passenger seat with the engine on and off; while in motion and also when the car is stationary. The passenger air bag light on the center dash remains illuminated "off" also, the airbag symbol turns on at almost random times, indicating that there is an error with the airbag system. About 50% of the time I drive, the airbag system light will come on and stay on during my drive, whether I am driving alone or with a passenger in the front seat. Sometimes if I turn off the vehicle and turn it back on, the airbag light will turn off - but there is no consistent pattern.

The contact also stated that the vehicle was repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 15V419000 (air bags). The vehicle was taken to Subaru of corvallis (located at 800 nw 5th St, corvallis, or 97330, (541) 754-1515) where it was diagnosed that the occupant detection system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 102,000.

Passenger seat airbag warning light shows passenger airbag disabled while a passenger is in the seat. This happens whether the car is moving or stopped. Car is a 2012 Subaru Impreza 5-door wagon, built 10/2011. I see 2012 Impreza sedans have been recalled, but I am having the same issue as those, but my car is a 5-door wagon and isn't on the recall list. Please expand the recall.

Passenger air bag turns off while occupant is in the passenger seat. Also seems to happen when I plug my phone charger into the car. Along with air bag light going off, the electrical systems in the car powered down while I was on the highway. This is a serious safety concern. Happens while driving or stationary.

The airbag sensor does not detect the front seat passenger during travel. The passesger airbag display is on at the start but then switches to off while the car is moving, after around 20 minutes or more of driving. So far, restarting the car has put the passenger airbag back on, but this requires the driver to find a safe place to stop and restart the car. This happened twice in June, once in July, and now twice this week (beginning of September). In June and July we were on an interstate going 70 mph. This week we were driving in town at 40 mph. The car was moving straight at the time. The seat was not wet.

There is a safety issue with the occupant detection system. When there is a passenger in the front right seat the airbag sign will say passenger airbag off. This will happen when the car is moving or stationary.
