| Description of the problem | My passenger airbag sensor never turns on. Even if i have a passenger in the seat, the light still remains off. I know that the 2012 models used the same occupancy sensor as the 2013 impreza but the 2013 models haven't been recalled. This doesn't make any sense because they're the same exact models so they should also be recalled so they can be fixed. The seat has never been wet and i haven't been in any accidents, so this is a faulty occupancy sensor. I don't know why i shoul dhave to pay $1500 for a faulty sensor. |
