| Description of the problem | The passenger airbag sensor is defective. Often, when there is someone sitting in the passenger seat, the light will show that the airbag is off. There is also a warning light telling us to get the airbag checked. In contrast, the sensor will say that the airbag is on when there is no one sitting in the passenger seat. We took the car to the subaru dealership on 8. 8. 19 and were told they could not find anything wrong. We were advised to just assume that the airbag works correctly, even though the car is telling us there is a problem. |
