Warning Light On problems of the 2017 Subaru Forester

Srs warning light came on and the passenger airbag is off. Vehicle was stationary with no other problem.

Tl- the contact owns a 2017 Subaru Forester. The contact stated when attempting to drive the vehicle the airbag warning light stays illuminated. The contact is referencing the failure to (NHTSA campaign number: 19v701 components air bags) the vehicle was taken to (Subaru of bend 2060 ne hwy 20, bend, or 97701) for repairs for the second time due to the fact the failure reoccured. The manufacturer was made aware of this issue and the failure mileage was 28,199 tp.

Purchased our 2017 Subaru Forester on 09/24/16. On 09/05/17 the warning light on dashboard came on warning that the passenger airbags were not functioning. This happened when a passenger was in the passenger seat and the car was on a highway. The warning light has come on 40-50 times when the car is on the road and a passenger is in the passenger seat. The car was brought into dealer and I was told multiple times codes were not there so no problem. We were told do not place anything electronic near the seat. Told we had spilled liquid on seat and seat dirty. Nothing has ever been spilled on the seats. I find it troubling that a major safety system of a vehicle is malfunctioning on a regular basis and the Subaru is not actively trying to fix the vehicles. I went into dealer today on 3 oct 2019 to again have the problem looked at only to be told that the car is no longer under warranty and they can order part. I have searched online and it is interesting to see that so many other Subaru Forester owners have the same problem and there are law groups lining up class action suits. I would just like Subaru to take ownership of the problem and fix the airbag systems before someone is injured or killed.

Passenger airbag warning light comes on/ goes off intermittently. The light warns us that the airbag is off despite having a passenger in the seat. I have seen online that many people are having this problem so I wanted to log our issue with NHTSA as well. The vehicle has never deployed it airbags nor been in a front end collision.

While operating my Subaru Forester an icon appeared on the dash indicating there was an issue with the airbags, at the same time the warning light indicating that the passenger airbag was off even though my wife was seated in the passenger seat. I contacted the dealership and had the car examined and was told that the passenger occupancy sensor was failing and needed to be replaced. The vehicle is less than 3 years old but has 52643 miles on it as I travel throughout new england on business, most of those miles the passenger seat is unoccupied. They also told me the extended warranty we had purchased would not cover the repairs even though at the time of purchase we were told it was the best way to pay for any expensive electrical repairs that might pop up. I had the defective sensor replaced for $1. 178. 50. It is my belief that the sensor was in fact a defective product and the replacement should have been at no cost to me due to its failure to perform.

Tl- the contact owns a 2017 Subaru Forester. The contact stated that the passenger side air bag and air bag on/off warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for a diagnostic test or repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the sensor might need to be replaced. The failure mileage was 98,000. Dr.

Red srs airbag warning light on solid above the speedometer. �srs airbag system needs to be checked� message on multi-function screen. Amber " passenger airbag off" indicator lit while an adult passenger is present in the front passenger seat. Happens randomly, while vehicle in motion or stationary. Happens during routine driving. Indicators may or may not clear next time the vehicle is started. Took the vehicle to dealership and was informed a seat cushion pad needs to be replaced. Part not in stock, driving the vehicle in the meantime. Ticket open at dealership, so no hardcopy evidence until part is replaced.

Without warning, and without apparent cause, the airbag warning light is illuminating. Vehicle telematics report nothing wrong with any systems. Vehicle was stationary and parked. The light turned on after starting.

On several occasions since August 2019-present the passenger side airbag warning light comes on regularly without cause regardless of a passenger being present in the car.

Passenger airbag intermittently goes off when there's an adult passenger properly seated in the seat while vehicle is in motion on the highway. The light in the center console goes from on to off, and the red srs airbag warning light in the driver's console comes on. The srs light can stay on for a couple days with vehicle stationary or in motion, then returns to normal. I've notified my local Subaru dealer by email on Aug 16, 2019, but have not yet had a reply.

The srs airbag system warning light turned on while the vehicle was in motion, without a passenger sitting on the front passenger seat. After parked the vehicle at a safe place, I turned off the engine and then re-started it, the warning light was still on. Also tested with a person sitting on the front passenger seat, and srs airbag system warning light and passenger air bag is off. This srs airbag warning light kept on since then, the passenger air bag is always off no matter whether there is a front passenger. This vehicle is 2-year old with 2,3000 miles.

The srs airbag system warning light began to occasionally alert and turn off the passenger airbag at about 25,000 miles in both of our 2 year old 2017 Subaru Foresters. Now the passenger airbag turns off when just about anything is put into the front seat. This happens both when the car is running while it is stationary or when it is in motion. Neither car has been involved in an incident/accident.

This is the second car referenced under complaint 11258187. The srs airbag system warning light began to occasionally alert and turn off the passenger airbag at about 25,000 miles in both of our 2 year old 2017 Subaru Foresters. Now the passenger airbag turns off when just about anything is put into the front seat. This happens both when the car is running while it is stationary or when it is in motion. Neither car has been involved in an incident/accident.

The passenger airbag sensor is defective. Often, when there is someone sitting in the passenger seat, the light will show that the airbag is off. There is also a warning light telling us to get the airbag checked. In contrast, the sensor will say that the airbag is on when there is no one sitting in the passenger seat. We took the car to the Subaru dealership on 8. 8. 19 and were told they could not find anything wrong. We were advised to just assume that the airbag works correctly, even though the car is telling us there is a problem.

Passenger side airbags are intermittently being disabled when a passenger sits in the seat in a proper seating position. Instrument cluster displays warning message when this happens and airbag off display light comes on. Red srs airbag warning light in the driver's console also comes on. This seems to happen only during longer commutes as I've noticed the warning lights do not come on when driving short driving distances and the warning lights often disappear when car gets turned off or after a day passes. This started happening in June of 2019. Took vehicle to local Subaru dealer on 06/12/2019. They checked for stored codes and it came back with code b1760 was stored in occupant detection system and code b1650 stored in airbag control system. They checked for any damage/loose connections/moisture as dealer stated those things may cause the lights to come on but no problems were found. They cleared the codes and stated they could not determine what was wrong and the light did not come on while the car was at the dealer but they didnt even drive the car which is why the problem could not be replicated. I was charged $105. 95 by the dealer for their time. I told them that I researched the matter online and that many Subaru Forester owners are experiencing the same intermittent problem. I was told by the dealer that until Subaru issues a recall they can't help me and won't reimburse me for my charges.

While 2017 Forester in motion (both instances occurred at highway speed) srs red warning light in drivers dashboard comes on. Also airbag indicator at middle top information section changes from passenger airbag on to passenger airbag off. This happens even though there is a passenger in the seat. This event has occurred on two occasions - Nov 2018, and Jun 2019. In both instances the issue resolved after a few days but before Subaru service could be scheduled to review the issue. Subaru service dept said the issue was caused by electrical interference from a cell phone on the seat. However, no electronic devices were on the seat at the time of incidents. The seat have never gotten wet either.

Passenger air bag warning light came on when driving on a highway at 65 miles per hour with a passenger seating in the passenger seat. Her weight, approx. 130 lbs and the seat was dry. Brought the car to Subaru dealer. Tech found srs light on. Tech scanned codes and found a occupant detection sensor mat system fault. Had to replace passenger front seat bottom. I feel this is a safety issue with the air bag system and should be recalled without the owner having to pay for the replacement bad sensor.

There is an issue with my subraru Forester 2017 front passenger seat occupant detection system (ods) malfunctions same as in model year (my) 2016 through 2018 Subaru Forester vehicles. These vehicles use a capacitive type ods, which is intended to classify the occupant of the passenger seat as either full-sized, small stature, a child seat or other object. The complaints report the ods failed to operate properly, the srs (supplemental restraint system) warning light illuminated, and/or the ods incorrectly suppressed (turned off) the front passenger air bag when the seat was occupied by a full-sized passenger. In a frontal crash sufficient to warrant deployment, a suppressed air bag may increase the risk of injury to the occupant of the seat. Odi opended this investigation to assess the scope, frequency, and consequences of the alleged defect in the subject vehicles.

Within the last two months while driving with my wife in the passenger seat the passenger air bag system has disengaged several times and we receive three warning lights. A red srs light in the lower dash. A white "I" on a red background next to the trip odometer letter, and the srs indicator in the middle of the dash next to the time indicator comes on sayinf the srs is off. Took to dealer on 8/24/2018 and they sad they got codes b1650 and b1760 which they reset. They could not duplicate the problem and said water must have gotten on the seat, which has never happened. This weekend, 9/2/2018, we started having the same exact problems while driving. Restarted the car and the lights went off after a short drive and then came back on while driving. The lights only come on when there is a passenger in the front seat.

Front passenger airbag warning light started coming on during may 2018. Dealer determined fault is in passenger seat cushion and ordered part which was back ordered to mid October. On 10/23/18 the dealer says the part isn't expected until November 15. The warning light remains on most of the time while driving with a passenger.

The passenger airbag periodically turns off without notice. The airbag indicator light shows that there is an issue and Subaru has contacted us about the issue. When we talked to the dealer they said it was a known interference issue related to cell phones and other devices and that if it continues to happen we should bring it in to have the passenger seat replaced. It has continued to happen periodically. Once the warning light indicates that the airbag is off, it remains that way until the vehicle is turned back on. Sometimes it is on when you start the car; sometimes it comes on quickly, and other times we drive for a long time and even go weeks without noticing it. Based on the fact that the company knows about this and that it is a safety system that is affected, it seems like it should be a recall.

Passenger side air bag warning light indicates that the air bag is off when we are driving with the passenger seat occupied by an adult passenger. Our starlink system is constantly alerting the dealership of the problem. We have brought the car in for service 3 times. They tell us they cant find the problem. Although the warning light indicates that the problem still exists. Thank you bill.

My air bag (srs) warning light has come on repeatedly since the car was new. It was mentioned at the 5000 mile service, but no action was taken. I August 2017 it began staying on most of the time. I took the car to timmons Subaru in long beach, CA, where I was told a passenger seat cushion had to be ordered due to a defective sensor. The car has been there three weeks with no progress, and they are saying they have multiple vehicles in for the same issue but there is no recall.

I purchased my car in July 2017 with 8800 miles. One week after delivery, my srs airbag system warning light came on. Per the owners manual, I took it in for service the next morning. The service dept. Said there is something faulty in the seat cushion & a new one is on order, but with no delivery time provided. It's already been two months since the order was placed - not sure what the real issue is. The warning light was random at first but, now it's on continuously. I just hope everyone is protected in my car, if I get in an accident. I have recently contacted Subaru's customer service to see if I can get any additional answers.
