The passenger air bag light does not come on or activate when someone is sitting in the passenger seat. The air bag light in the dash by the speedometer also comes on randomly. The exact same thing is happening that other people have commented about on this website. The 2012S were recalled, but not the 2013S with the same parts?? get it together Subaru...

Passenger air bag does not register as 'on' when a passenger is present. Even a 15 pound backpack will cause the vehicle to show that the passenger airbag is off. It never comes on. It's gotten to the point where I will not allow people to ride in the front of my car with me, because I am worried they may be seriously injured in case of an accident. Why have such a spacious vehicle if its occupants aren't safe" also, the recalled sensor in the 2012 Impreza cars is the same technology in the 2013 models. Why has this not been taken care of"

I have been having airbag problems with the passenger seat. Whenever there is a passenger sitting, the amber indicator light is in the 'off' position and there is a red airbag light on the dashboard. It doesn't matter if the passenger is dry or damp, if the car is stationary or driving on the street/highway. Sometimes, when there is no passenger and I place my cell phone on the seat, the airbag indicator light turns on as if there is a passenger. This is a serious issue in case of an accident. Nice to know that Subaru cares so much about 'safety'. the 2012 was recalled, please recall the 2013 also before someone dies or has a serious injury!

Cleaned upholstery and seats slightly damp, when I started car the red air bag light came on and passenger seat showed air bag off even though a passenger was in seat. It has been two days and air bag light is still on and passenger bag shows as off even if passenger is in seat. As soon as I start the car the air bag light comes on and stays on while driving.

Every time it rains or is wet outside my air bag light comes on and acts as if I dont have a passenger next to me, but I do. They are sitting with seat belt on in passenger seat. But the lights on my dash say otherwise. This issue only happens when its wet out. And it shows the light on dash when im driving, not when I first start the car.
