Warning Light On problems of the 2012 Subaru Impreza

Passenger airbag will intermittently turn off and airbag warning light comes on when there is a passenger in the seat. Seat is not wet. My 2012 Impreza was not part of the recall of the passenger seat airbag sensor but I believe it should be as this sensor fails quite often and the passenger airbag turns off even when someone is sitting in the seat.

Passenger seat airbag warning light shows passenger airbag disabled while a passenger is in the seat. This happens whether the car is moving or stopped. Car is a 2012 Subaru Impreza 5-door wagon, built 10/2011. I see 2012 Impreza sedans have been recalled, but I am having the same issue as those, but my car is a 5-door wagon and isn't on the recall list. Please expand the recall.

While driving with occupant (adult woman) in passenger seat the seat belt system warning light illuminated and the display of pass airbag status went to off. Previous recall (service campaign: wqt55|NHTSA campaign: 15v419000) was completed in oct 2015, and think this is similar issue. Was not using any electronics/connections, but occupants were damp from snow skiing. Tried to stop car, remove key, and restart but issue remained for rest of trip (~ 2 hours).

The contact owns a 2012 Subaru Impreza. The contact stated that the air bag warning light randomly flashed for an extended period of time. The dealer and the manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 15v419000 (air bags). The vehicle was to be inspected and diagnosed by a dealer. The manufacturer provided no remedy. The approximate failure mileage was 24,000.

The contact owns a 2012 Subaru Impreza. While driving 75 mph, the air bag warning lights illuminated and the passenger side air bag off indicator illuminated when a passenger was seated in the front passenger seat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer in 2012 and repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 65,000.

On 2 separate occasions airbag warning light on dash lit and airbag light stated passenger airbag was off dispite seat being occupied. . Subaru states cant find issue but I have a pic of the warning light on(looks like pregnant women!!). Wooried car /airbag unsafe.

The passenger airbag turns off while passenger in the seat. It will turn on for approx. 10-15 minutes than deactivates the passenger airbag while occupant is still seated causing the warning light to come on the dash. Has happened consistently while on drives more than 15 minutes. Passanger airbag system turns off while passanger seat occupied. Could cause fatality. Subaru will not cover replacement despite being obviously defective.

Tl - the contact owns a 2012 Subaru Impreza. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer.

My passenger side airbag warning light comes on, with an accompanying loud tone, at random times while driving, despite the fact that there is not a passenger in the car. Sometimes it senses something very light like my phone on the seat, sets off the warning, and stops when I remove the object. Other times, when there actually is a passenger in the seat, a different warning light will come on saying that the passenger side airbag has been turned off. This happens on its own, also randomly. I seldom have passengers, so it has been a problem I have ignored over the years. But when I had a car savvy passenger recently, he suggested I follow up on what could be a serious safety issue. It appears that there is a recall for this exact issue for my car's model year. However, when I called michael's Subaru in bellevue, where I have had my car serviced for several years, they informed me that my VIN is not part of the recall. It seems clear to me that my car is having the same problem that other cars in the recall had. Please advise.

Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Subaru Impreza. The contact stated the front passenger's side seat became fractured and was replaced by the dealer. After the seat was replaced, the passenger's side "air bag off" warning light would illuminate whenever the seat would become wet or lightly damp. The failure did not occur prior to the seat replacement. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 15v419000 (air bags). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 5,700. Ah.

Passenger airbag fault light went on while driving. I pulled over to side of road shut engine off restarted the engine and the light went off. This problem has occurred with increasing frequency since then in a random manner with the light occasionally staying on even after shutting off the engine. I brought it to the dealer for repair during the warranty period. The dealership claimed that they could do nothing since the warning light at that time was off. Imo this is a serious safety issue since one never knows if the passenger airbag will be functional.
