Description of the problem	I purchased a new 2010 subaru legacy. When my wife who weighs 120 lbs sits in the passenger seat the indicator light for the airbag that displays the system ? On? Does not always display. It remains in the off indication. I brought it back to my dealer twice who claims there is nothing wrong with the airbag and it is designed that way. Designed to sometime go on and other times not? Makes no sense. I reported to subaru america who gave me the same story and assigned a case number . I did further research on line and appears there are other reported instances, exactly the same scenario with 2010 legacy and 2010 outback. If federal law requires passenger airbags, why would subaru design a car where the passenger side airbag does not always go on. They claim my wife may be too light but 120 lbs is a full grown adult. Also does not explain why it sometimes works and other times not. This is a safety issue and someone needs to look into this. It is either a latent defect or a design flaw.
