| Description of the problem | We own a 2019 subaru forester sport. The front passenger airbag continually fails to register our daughter when she is sat in the seat with the seat belt buckled. She weighs approximately 100 pounds, is 5' tall and 13 years old. The airbag detects her about 50% of the time. If we add additional weight to her, such as my purse it will sometimes detect her but not always. We have brought it into the dealership service department and they say it is functioning as designed but will not tell us at what weight the airbag detection system should be triggered. The vehicle is stationary when we experience this problem. |
