2012 Subaru IMPREZA Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1674703
Internal NHTSA #	11339386
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	IMPREZA
Model Year	2012
File date	01/07/20
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The airbag sensor under the passenger seat turns of at random times when the seat is occupied by a full-sized adult. It typically occurs on a long drive, which is incredibly dangerous. It has also occurred during city driving. It always occurs when the seat is occupied. The problem closely matches the description of the 2015 recall on the occupant detection system, even though the subaru records show that the required repair in accordance with the recall was made on my vehicle at that time. The dealership claims the current problems may be caused by a water spill, but i have no recollection of this occurring, and a safety system in a car than could not withstand a small spill is incredibly unsafe and poorly designed.

What is Recall?
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.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
