| Description of the problem | "srs airbag needs to be checked" and "passenger airbag off" messages 95% of time when operating car, regardless of whether a passenger is present or not. Seat has never been damaged or dampened, as some folks online report. Disconcerting to say the least. Disappointing that someone might die while subaru is unable/unwilling to recall and repair this commonly reported concern. |
