Passenger air bag lights turns off after some time driving with a 200 lb passenger in the passenger seat. The light starts off on and turns off meaning the air bag will not deploy. Subaru dealer reviewed problem and did not find anything wrong except for some historical wet sensor error codes. This is unsafe as as the air bag won't deploy if I have a crash. I have the dealer paperwork where they tested it and did nothing !!.
To whom it may concern my son has a 2014 Subaru Impreza . Leased brand new. While driving home from the beach and after drying off the passenger noticed that the air bag deployment light was not on. I took the car to the dealer in ramsey new jersey …invoice 244854 . They had the technicians look at the car and what they told us was very upsetting and seems ridiculous . If the passenger seat is the least bit damp the air bag will not deploy. I have in writing from Subaru, owner’s manual page 1-47. So if there is a child that is a passenger and he spills a soda or even water there could be a problem. How many passenger drink coffee on their way to work. The advice from Subaru is that if the seat gets wet have the passenger sit in the back until it totally dries. What ? this is an accident waiting to happen…. Remember takata. I can’t believe a company like Subaru cannot fix this problem, I understand that it may also be an issue with the outback and forester. All models if true are advertized for the out doors.
