2 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/08/2019

Subaru website states no active recall. However, I received a recall notice and hassett Subaru ordered the replacement airbag and informs me that the airbag has been delivered. Hassett Subaru states that installing the airbag takes an entire day, and hassett Subaru only has one mechanic who is trained to install the new airbag. Hassett Subaru has not yet install the replacement airbag. I ordered it on February 9th, and hassett Subaru will not provide me an appointment until March 19. This is unacceptable.

10 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2016

Takata recall I received a letter stating that my vehicle was subject to the recall for passenger airbags. I called my local dealer (burlington Subaru in burlington, vt) to see if they had an estimate on when it would be fixed. Contradictory to the letter that I received from Subaru (stating that they would be reaching out to me when they were scheduling appointments), my local dealer said that they were taking "pre-reservations" to get the vehicle fixed. I didn't call for several days after I received the recall notification because it did not seem time sensitive, but apparently that was the wrong course of action. My wife and I do not feel safe driving this car, and do not like the way that Subaru is handling this. We should be provided with a safe rental vehicle until they can make it right.

11 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2016

Takata recall: I own a 2010 Subaru Outback and received a letter from Subaru regarding the NHTSA campaign number: 16v358000 (air bags). I spoke to my local Subaru dealer (in new london, CT) and they informed me that the part to do the repair was not yet available, and that they had no estimated time as to when the part would be available. I believe that Subaru has exceeded a reasonable amount of time to arrange for a recall repair. I have made the dealer aware of my frustration. I have not experienced a failure to date yet. And the VIN tool confirms parts not available on the Subaru website.

12 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/31/2016

It is completely unacceptable that a serious recall such as this does not yet have a remedy. I received notice months ago and still I have to drive around chauffeuring all of my family members as it is not safe to ride in the front seat-- completely impractical for a family and I'm assuming most Subaru owners have one (that's why I got one). I am very frustrated that there is not a solution. By the time there is one, I'm sure it will be impossible to get an appointment to take care of it.

13 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/27/2016

Tamara recall. I was notified on July 27, 2016. I called the dealership hadwin-white- in conway SC. I was told they did not have airbags. They would let me know win the came in. I checked when I went for service I thin it was in November 2016. I called recently about a month ago. I was told they wil do be giving out any loaners until it is fix. I have to go out of town in about a week. I received and email on March 2, 2017 that part are now available. I also received a notice when I called about a month ago and call the dealership. I was told the did receive some and they did reach my name yet. It has now been over 7 months. This is causing me a hardship because they ask you not have anyone seat in the passenger seat. Why is this taking so lone?.
