Warning Light On problems of the 2009 Subaru Legacy

The contact owns a 2009 Subaru Legacy. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. Steve moyer Subaru (201 s centre Ave, leesport, PA 19533), was contacted by phone. The contact was informed that the passenger side air bags sensor was replaced as part of a recall previously by an unknown dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 96,800.

I noticed airbag sign comes on even after the recall for airbag was completed on the car within last 10 days. The dealer says it will cost $350 dollars to investigate and repair as an approximate estimate for budgeting over the phone. So I did internet search on similar problems, and found out via youtube videos and car mechanic blogs that it is Subaru's electrical solder problem (electrical connection) that triggers the passenger airbag light on and off intermittently and therefore the airbag warning sign turns red. What is the point of doing a recall when they cannot check the entire system ? NHTSA has erred by not mandating manufacturers to "test the entire airbag system for normal functioning". The dealer told me that the only thing the recall does it replace the faulty unit, thats it. So basically, the system may malfunction, but that is not covered by safety airbag recall ? can someone explain me the logic here? a lot of Subaru customers are facing this electrical solder safety problem . Some might not even be aware of the warning light. It is my strongest opinion that NHTSA take this request very seriously and issue an addendum to airbag recalls to test the entire safety system for optimal functioning . Yes, I intended the caps to be on because I cannot stress enough. Meanwhile, a blanket recall should be issues by Subaru to fix the faulty airbag indicator connections that is triggering the warning signs. . Read more...

2009 Subaru Legacy 2. 5 I se. The air bag warning light illuminated. Notified dealership. I was told to brig the vehicle to be checked if eventual is covered by warranty. I already new it's not- they just tried to get me in and make some money out of their safety problem. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 23,000. Researched on internet and seems like many people have the same problem and the repair is $1900- 2000, which is ripoff for safety problem and should be fixed by Subaru of America for free.

The contact owns a 2009 Subaru Legacy. The contact stated the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where the failure was unable to be replicated. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 30,000.

My airbag warning light has periodically gone off & on over the last 2 years. I currently have less than 45,000 miles on it. Of course the day I had an appointment with Subaru, the light would not appear. Hoping airbag will work if ever in an accident.
