I was t-boned on 11/7 on the driver side door of the car. My car is totaled and the airbags, knee and curtain did not deploy and I was hit almost dead on on the b pillar. Unknown if the problem has been reproduced by the dealer. My knee is still hurting from the accident and my head smacked the frame. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, but has by police, insurance, and others. All said the airbags should have deployed. There were no warning lights or otherwise to notify me that the airbags would not work.
The dashboard light says that the airbag is off, while it is occupied by a large teenager (over 100lbs) in the right front passenger seat. Teenager was buckled into moving vehicle when this concern was observed. Front right passenger airbag has never been deactivated by owner/driver. Took car to be inspected at a Subaru dealer on 13aug24, but Subaru techs unable to replicate problem at time of visit and reported no known recall notice for this problem. Since inspection, problem has reoccurred randomly.
Hit a rather large bump, no damage to car. Side curtain air bags deployed and scratched my neck pretty bad. I feel that the impact of the bump did not even close to justify a deployment. I was driving at about 40mph.
