Description of the problem	Passenger side air bag came on with no passenger in the seat. It would happen with the vehicle stationary or moving. Sometimes it would reset on its own but after a few days the complete airbag system warning has come on and won't go away. Found out online that it is common problem with the subaru forester and the manufacturer needs to put to task as they are definitely not doing enough and are playing with the lives of people. When i contacted a local dealership (subaru of grapevine) they outright wanted money for diagnosing a problem they knew was preexisting. This clearly reflects the attitude of the dealership and the manufacturer towards this serious issue.

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
