I got in my vehicle after getting gas. I was on my way to neosho, mo, hundreds of miles from home. Thes lights were all on and I couldn't get them to go off. I figured it was because my windshield was dirty. I turned my wipers on to find out one needed replaced. I paid $30 for 1 since I have an odd type of wipers and I had been to 3 auto stores to find it. The eye sight, brake, check engine, air bag, and lane assist lights never went off. Now they come on randomly and go off randomly. This causes all safety features to not work. No adaptive cruise control, nothing. I finally got them to go off somehow the day I came back home. I live nowhere near a Subaru dealer. It had no other effect on my vehicle as far as I could tell. Now when they come on. I pull over until they come back on or have to drive it home to sit.

2019 Subaru Forester was stopped with left directional signal on to make a left turn. Waiting for oncoming traffic to pass. Vehicle was hit multiple times from the front, back and side. Airbags did not deploy. Driver of the vehicle which hit us said he was “distracted” when he hit us and that it was his fault.

When car is in motion the passenger airbag off light remains illuminated. This started intermittently yesterday, on my 4th day of owning the new car! the Subaru alert system also notified me that something wasn't working and that it would require a service call.

In an accident involving front end to other car rear end on an interstate highway, the airbag system didn't deploy. The engine then caught fire in the right front of the engine. The entire car burned. Fortunately no injury to driver or passenger.

We own a 2019 Subaru Forester sport. The front passenger airbag continually fails to register our daughter when she is sat in the seat with the seat belt buckled. She weighs approximately 100 pounds, is 5' tall and 13 years old. The airbag detects her about 50% of the time. If we add additional weight to her, such as my purse it will sometimes detect her but not always. We have brought it into the dealership service department and they say it is functioning as designed but will not tell us at what weight the airbag detection system should be triggered. The vehicle is stationary when we experience this problem.
