Description of the problem	Airbag fail, drivers side and passenger side. In november of 2016 the icon indicating "passenger airbag fail" starting coming on every time i picked up my son from school on a rainy day or after sports practice. He was not wet, just damp or hot. The icon coming on was totally predictable at first, only under damp conditions, then unpredictable. In speaking to the service person where i bought the car new, i was told that the lit icon was normal, then told that my son didn't weigh enough (he wrestles at 156 lbs). I brought the car to the dealership without an appointment and was able to demonstrate the problem. The passenger seat airbag sensor was eventually replaced under warranty. The problem is now repeating itself with the drivers side airbag fail icon. The dealership was unable to find a problem code when diagnosed. I was told the technician called subaru tech-support and that he was told that the problem is "normal". I am now told that the sensor can fail when the driver's seat is damp, but will work when it dries out, there is no repair possible. If this is true, i cannot safely drive my car in inclement weather or hot weather. I bought this car specifically for driving in less than ideal weather. The problem with the passenger side airbag sensor was addressed by the nhtsa in april 4015 under action number pe15012, and recall campaign # 15v419000, but i can testify that the problem still exits. It took three days for the drivers side airbag sensor, or icon, to stop showing failed, it stopped raining a day before. It is a highly unsafe situation if it is truly unrepairable.
