Unknown origin. Airbag issues started in September October 2022. 2015 Subaru Forester. Vehicle with heated seats similar to open recall. Warning notice display as to airbag dysfunction. Airbag determined to not function by dealer. But informed not within the specific airbag recall affecting other same era (2015) Foresters now under recall altho symptomatically the same issues as other vehicles subject to recall. Quoted up to $2000 to fix the vehicle. Subsequently, the driver side warning assistance sensors have stopped working on the vehicle. Because the VIN # does not fit within the recall matching system, Subaru could not replace the airbag without payment. Even after offering some payment accommodation on the part, Subaru wanted $1000 or so to repair and could not give a final estimate in advance. This vehicle has less than 40,000 miles on it.
I have a crack running across the bottom of my windshield. I took the car to safelite for replacement. They do a pre-service check of the eyessight camera system which provides forward collision avoidance and lane departure warning. The scan revealed history code p00ff and a current code b280aa8. The safelite technician advised they could not replace the windshield until the codes were removed. Then they could replace the windshield and calibrate the eyesight system. They also stated I had to go to a dealer code removal. I contacted brunswick Subaru (dealer where I purchased the vehicle) and they stated they could only calibrate after the windshield was replaced. Another dealer (ganley Subaru) stated the same thing. Problem - the windshield cannot be replaced with the codes and the dealer cannot remove the codes (by recalibration) until the windshield is replaced. I am left with driving the car with a broken windshield. Please help.
