Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The airbag sensor in the passenger seat has failed 3 times while the car was under warranty and now again out of warranty. When a passenger is sitting in the seat while driving, the airbag sensor doesn't recognize the passenger's weight, and the airbag light will not turn on, putting my passenger at risk. Under warranty, carr subaru in beaverton oregon replaced the sensor each time it failed. They briefly explained to me that the sensor "fails all the time" and "its poorly designed." if i understood them correctly, these type of sensors are no longer used in newer models of my car. I am now having the airbag issue again and i am not covered by warranty, i feel this is a major safety issue. Subaru should take responsibility for this faulty system and replace it completely, rather that just replacing the sensor they already know is faulty.
