29 June wife and I are on the highway driving when the passenger airbag light goes to off and the fault code appears on the heads up display tell us to take into service immediately. Well we car off and we don't hear anything back for a few days. We called them back on the 5th of July because of the holliday. They told my wife on the phone they were going to replace seat cushion because that seemed to be the issue. Fast forward to 9 July my wife recieves a call telling her the car is ready for pickup. My wife asks what did you end up doing to the vehicle? he said we functional tested the seat it's good to go. So I call the service department and speak to the service manager. I said so let me get this staight you had our car for 10 days and you did a test and hand my wife back the keys? where is the new seat cushion? he said to me sir I want to help you but corporate won't release the parts they instructed me to do the functional check and if it passed they would not release the parts. So I ask what if it happens again what then? well sir we would need to submit the service history problem with the next request to escalate the issue. So I call the wife tell her to go pick up the car but ask the service manager to take a little ride in the passenger seat to ensure it works. . . . So my wife starts the car then goes at sits in the passenger seat. Boom air bag fault light come on immediately with the service manager standing there. Service manager turns red. My wife's smiles and says I can't take this car home it's not safe. So they keep the car to try and order the seat cushion again. The service maanger call me back to (10 July) to let me know they hack escalated the problem to Subaru corporate and the cushion is now on order. However turns out 73 cushoins are on back order for pretty much the same issue. This may require a recall.

This used vehicle was purchased from a dealer as a "great buy", with 74589 miles on may 23, 2018. Less than one week later, bells and dings began sounding while driving, light indicators indicated that the srs system needed to be checked; that the passenger airbag was not on sometimes, other times it was. . Intermittent. Car in motion both on city streets and on highway. No recalls were reported at that time, and I never knew while driving whether either side seatbelts were engaged when I knew they were, nor whether airbags were viable. Dangerous for driver and for passenger. Independent dealer and service departments were perplexed, dealerships had no available parts. . . . . Here it is, oct. 2, 2018, over 4 months later, and no parts available to dealers or authorized repair companies to comply with safety regulations. This vehicle is unsafe; Subaru needs to provide parts at no expense to this customer to assure safety. And, they need to issue a recall or face potential lawsuits. . . . ## VIN passed ## Subaru Forester 2016 ##.
