Purchased a new Subaru Legacy Feb. 28, 2018. After only 70 miles the warning light for seat belts and airbag malfunction appeared on a starlink system and dash. After immediately taking it in at the local car dealer, service agents claimed that a "rodent" has caused the damage. After further research, we have discovered a national civil suit against Subaru. Apparently they are using biodegradable materials on the wiring of many new cars that attracts squirrels and mice. We have lived at our current residence for over 35 years with numerous cars in the driveway without this problem. Consumer reports on July 10,2017, reported that they have uncovered various technical bulletins from Ford, gm, Honda, Toyota, as well as Subaru concerning this issue. Dealer, at the moment, refuses to fix it without extensive cost to us. This is a serious problem with this car--driving it would not only be unsafe but illegal since the air bag as well as the seat belts show a malfunction. Fixing it may not solve the problem on permanent basis.

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.

Airbag fault warning light turn on with front passenger airbag off light turn on and the front passenger seat belt unbuckle warning also turn on while driving. There is a passenger in the front seat with seat belt on. Turn off the car and started the car again multiple time did not resolve the problem, the passenger air bag light stay off with seat belt warning light on even with or without front passenger.

The contact owns a 2013 Subaru Legacy. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the air bag sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the parts were on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 12,000.

Dash warning light has come on and gone off on a regular basis since I purchased the car a little over 2 years ago. It seems to happen more in the winter. If I look online it appears as if there are many complaints about this part and the average cost seems to be 300-400 dollars to fix it. If an airbag is not working because of a faulty part I believe this to be a huge safety risk to anyone in the vehicle. With the recall on the brake lines in my car failing what would I do if I lost my brakes while driving and the air bag was not working?.

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.

My 2008 Subaru Legacy with 59k miles was having intermittent air bag warning light issues. The air bag light would turn off and on at random times with no pattern or reasons. The manual advises to have the air bag system immediately checked out to find reasons that would illuminate the warning light. Took the car to the dealer today and the problem was diagnosed as a faulty over head map console light cluster near the sunroof controls. The official part that has a short or faulty wiring is part # 84621ag51a. I only need the airbag wiring but unfortunately the entire overhead cluster is necessary because they don't have just an airbag wiring replacement part. The total cost to have the air bag system back to working order was $294. 00 complete. I have ran an internet search engine and this issue is very common. It seems irresponsible for Subaru to have such an important safety system be disabled by a faulty crappy soldering job in the over head map light console.

I own an 08 Subaru Legacy 2. 5i sedan with approximately 77000 miles on it. At approx. 76000 miles, the "airbag" warning light came on in the main dash cluster. Referring to the owner's manual, all it said was that this light indicates a problem with the airbag system and that the system may not allow the airbags to deploy at all during a collision, or may deploy with even a light collision. It recommended to take the vehicle to the dealer immediately. I took the car to the Subaru dealer I have always had service done, and they told me the "lamp assembly - map" had an electrical short in it and needed replaced. An "electrical short"? that sounds very serious. With parts and labor, the cost came in at $389. 30, which seemed quite excessive. As critical as airbag systems are, it would be reasonable to think that this type of problem should warrant a safety recall, especially given the warning in the owner's manual that the system may not function at all if not taken care of. Also, the service agent I spoke with at the dealer said there have been a "handful" of this type of problem, and treated the situation as routine. . . . Like an oil change or filter replacement. I also own a 07 Toyota rav 4, which has had several recalls issued for seemingly much less critical issues. All of them were taken care of by Toyota. I wrote a similar letter to Subaru America, explaining that, given this issue, I would have to think twice about purchasing another Subaru vehicle in the future. Thank you.

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.

June 2012 - replaced front control arm bushings which were worn after only ~80,000 miles, earlier than would be expected. Rear control arm bushings are also wearing and will need to be replaced. August 2013 - airbag warning light on dashboard came on and stayed on while driving with a passenger in the front seat. Brought the car to the shop who informed me it was a faulty map light assembly. Was also informed that this is common with Subaru's which research online confirmed.
