Front Air Bag Problems of Subaru Outback

2011 Subaru Outback limited 2. 5 passenger seat airbag not activated. I am 130 lb and the airbag system does not go on when I sit in the passenger seat. According to the dealer and Subaru nothing can be done, but I don't feel safe.

In 2008 the airbags on our car deployed spontaneously while driving down the interstate. Before the airbags deployed the seatbelt lights in our car began dinging and flashing as if someone were in the passenger seat, which was empty, and then they deployed on my husband. After 3 or so months Subaru had the airbag components removed from the car and submitted to the manufacturer. Their investigation was inconclusive to what happened and they replaced the components with new ones assuming they had fixed the problem. July 11 I was backing out of my driveway and the lights began flashing again as if someone were in the passenger seat, which again was empty, and I pulled up and got out of the car immediately as I am 7 months pregnant and feared they might explode again and we were about to take a 6 hour drive. When we removed the keys the lights on the car remained on. Subaru now has the car and is investigating the problem. This car is a timebomb and I can't imagine putting it back on the road. These are the exact symptoms we had before the airbags exploded last time it just happens we were backing out of the driveway and not going 55 down the highway.

Subaru Outback 2010. Passenger front airbag. My wife is 5'5' and 108lb. The passenger front airbag is "deactivated" or "activated" based on the weight of the front passenger. When my wife is in the passenger seat, approximately 75% of the time, the dash indicates the passenger airbag is off, and this is irregardless of her sitting position. I called Subaru dealership and they said it was working properly and nothing could be done. Then I called Subaru America and the representative said that is likely working properly and she is near the cut-off in weight to set off the airbag. The recommend I bring it to the Subaru dealership to inspect that it is infact working properly. My understanding is that the airbag should be deployed for any person over 100lb and 5'0'. Subaru would not release the information to what they set the airbag weight limit for activation. They said that if the inspection shows the system is working properly that nothing further can be done. 1) what is the weight limit recommended for passenger airbag deployment? 2) is Subaru complaint with this safety standard?.

Driver side impact to 07 Subaru Outback damaged frame, insurance totaled vehicle, seatbelt did not hold driver in seat and none of the airbags deployed resulting in permanent injuries to neck and lower back as well as head hitting on driver side from being rag dolled. I believe if front airbag deployed or seatbelt locked, the injuries would have been less severe.

November 15, 2008 my husband was driving to work when the airbags in our 2005 Subaru Outback deployed without provocation. Our car was immediately taken to the authorized Subaru dealership here in puerto rico where they have yet to discover what caused this to happen. We purchased our car in seattle but we live here because my husband is stationed here for the military. We have been attempting to get Subaru of America's assistance in determining what caused this deployment but they have not been very helpful. Nothing has been repaired because we don't want anything done if they don't know what happened to the car. We are fearful to drive our car again and want Subaru of America to be a little more active and interested in discovering what could have caused a serious safety malfunction in their vehicle. As far as we know the service manager here sent them an email informing them that after he had looked over the car, he sees no damage that could have caused it. This information we already knew, because we weren't involved in any sort of collision. So far this is the extent of their involvement in the situation.

Slid off the road on ice at @ 35 mph, went down an embankment, jumped a creek and hit the side of a hill head on however the driver's side had more damage so it probably hit first. Neither airbag deployed.

Brake pedal goes 1/2 way down before brakes engage at all. Pedal can be pushed to floor without much effort by my 120lb wife. Abs did not engage. Neither airbag deployed - impact speed was 30 to 35 mph. Dealer insists brakes are ok. 2001 model has 13 inch discs and it stops great! (our rental is a 2001 Outback wagon). We love the car, it just worries us that it doesn't stopproperly and the airbags don't go off - apparently the 'computer' deemed it "unecessary" although it was a head-on, smack in the middle of the front, collision!.
