There is a current recall for the passenger air bag sensor for 2015-2018 Subaru Foresters but somehow ours is not included in that. However, we are receiving an warning light stating that out passenger air bag sensor is failing. We took our Subaru to get service and we were told ours was not affected and would not be repaired. It is going to cost us $1000 to repair the sensor. What can we do to remedy this as a sensor malfunction should not be the responsibility of the owner.

2015 Subaru Forester. The passenger seat front airbag sensor is malfunctioning. The dashboard displays 'passenger airbag off' when someone is sitting in the seat. This appears to be related to a malfunction of the seat pressure sensor. When no person is sitting in the passenger side front seat, the airbag light says it is on. On the dashboard a red warning light indicating an issue with the airbag is constantly lit. So, in summary: when I start the car, this indicator turns srs airbag system needs to be checked passenger airbag remains "off" even person sits on the passenger seat. This happens when car is stopped or moving while the car is started.

Passenger airbag indicator is intermittently faulty. The warning light comes on upon starting. Then goes out next time the car is driven. Dealer says sometimes this can be due to a wet seat. Seems like a specious explanation to me.

When a passenger is sitting in the front passenger seat, the airbag will frequently fail to turn on. An airbag warning light will instead appear on the dash. When I brought the car to the dealership, they insisted (before even looking at the car) that something must have been spilled on the seat and that the seat would need to be replaced (for $895). Nothing has ever been spilled on the front passenger seat, nor has it gotten wet. Visual inspection of the seat shows that it's in pristine shape. Sometimes the airbag alert will appear when the car is still stationary. Other times, it has only appeared once the car was in motion.

The passenger airbag warning light first came on as soon as I started my car one morning in mid-October 2018, in which I took my car to Subaru of kennesaw, GA to have it looked at. They first asked if I had spilled anything on the front seat (in which I responded "no") and then advised me that the whole seat bottom would need to be replaced (about $989 parts and labor) and that the part was on back-order. I followed-up with them in December 2018 and never heard back. When I recently went there for an oil change February 18, 2019 they brought the issue up to me again, in which I responded that nobody ever returned my call. They checked again to see if they had the part but stated it is still on a nationwide back-order. We are now going on 5+ months of my passenger airbag warning light being on (it sometimes turns off intermittently, but in those instances the passenger seatbelt light will come on and ding repeatedly until the seatbelt is plugged in - even if there is no passenger). I have done quite a bit of research into this issue and it seems like a lot of other consumers are experiencing similar issues. Subaru seems to have different explanations and seems very unwilling to fix their faulty passenger seat sensors. It is upsetting and discouraging to know that they have allowed me to drive around this long with a defective airbag/passenger seat sensor.

Within the last year, I have experienced on three separate occasions, instances where the warning lights for various safety systems on my 2015 Subaru Forester will come on, indicating that the system has been disabled due to a malfunction. These lights always come on while driving, within 15 minutes of the car being started. The first two instances related to my air bags being turned off. When brought to a dealership, they had no explanation, and desired $70 to do an electrical assessment. When I brought it in for that, I was told that the car would have to be displaying the light at the time I brought it in, which the indicator light had turned off in between visits. Today, my abs, traction control, and incline assustance lights came on , indicating that those systems were disabled due to a malfunction. I brought it to my dealer, who told me that the air pressure in the tires was responsible, which ranged from 28lbs to 35 lbs. I had my car serviced at said dealership 2 months ago and the pressure was 35 lbs each. It was suggested to me that the cause of this discrepancy was "parking my car in the sun. " both computer-related problems apparently didn't leave a code to be read, according to the dealership. Any information was wiped when the car was turned off.
