2012 Subaru IMPREZA Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1185319
Internal NHTSA #	10717768
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	IMPREZA
Model Year	2012
File date	14/09/12
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Dashboard light would occasionally indicate that the passenger airbag was disabled while i had a passenger in the front seat. Issue would resolve upon turning the car off and back on, but it recurred frequently. The issue was determined to be caused by a faulty occupancy sensor, which used a new capacitive technology rather than the older style weight sensors. Occupancy sensor was replaced under warranty in september 2012. Following the repair, the new occupancy sensor detects a passenger and activates the passenger airbags if i place a small electronic device such as a cell phone on the seat, or even just rest my hand on it. I am not sure if this new issue is a significant safety concern or not.
