1 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/17/2019

Passenger side airbag disabled because the under seat sensor is faulty in 2013 Subaru Impreza. The dealer charged me $154. 95 just to read the code to explain the fault. Codes b1760 and b1761 indicate the "sensor mat is abnormal. " tech recommends to replace the passenger seat bottom. The issue is that this costs $1181. 85 to replace. Subaru should issue a recall on this model because many of us are putting our passengers at unreasonable risk due to a faulty sensor installed by Subaru. The cost to replace it is extortionate. I love my car and I hope that Subaru will do the right thing and help restore my trust in their safety record.

2 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/07/2018

Sensor for air bag in passenger seat not working correctly. Works 80% of the time, but will put a warning on my dashboard randomly while I'm driving and disable airbag. It could happen when stationary or driving. Doesn't seem to matter the speed or if anybody is in the seat or not. It's been happening on and off for almost 3 years. Please help, the fix is very expensive and it seems like this is not the first time there have been problems with Subarus passenger side airbag sensors. The k you very much.
