2013 Subaru IMPREZA Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1430473
Internal NHTSA #	11052885
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	IMPREZA
Model Year	2013
File date	06/12/17
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The passenger seat sensor that controls airbag is faulty. Sometimes with a passenger in the seat, the airbag light will go on indicating that the airbag is disabled even though passenger is in seat and belted. This can always be reset by turning igniotion off and on again. Also sensor incorrectly thinks there is a passenger in the seat even when very light packages or groceries are on the seat weighing 2-12 pounds. I've called subaru and they claim sensor is set to 27 punds or more, which is clearly not working here. Subaru will not fix this under warranty so i think nhtsa should look at all the similar complaints here and investigate.
