Description of the problem	Passenger side airbag turned off with adult sitting in the seat. Sensor replaced by dealer in july 2012, brought back august 2012 with same problem. Was informed by the dealer that the malfunction was caused by either an electronic device (cell phone) on the seat or the sensor may have been wet. I contacted subaru north america with this explanation and they confirmed that the new sensoring technology used in the impreza, was sensitive to electronic pulses and also moisture and possibly sweat. They confirmed that the airbag may turn-off and would not be activated during a collision. Subaru now considers this matter closed.
