File date	27/02/15
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I would like to make all prospective subaru forrester owners aware that the front passenger airbag does work if you sit on an additional cushion. These sensors do not work on weight but on some sort of electrostatic sensor that is blocked by any cushion or pillow. This if a dangerous problem for back patients and also for short people who sit on cushions to elevate themselves. Needless to say that, although this is a documented problem the dealer who sold me the car did not notify of this situation although i mentioned that i always sit on a pad because of a fused back. With all the safety notices posted in cars today, this is one problem that needs to be made obvious. Needless to say i have a $35,000 useless vehicle being used as a spare car. I cannot take this car on the road.
