Description of the problem	November 15, 2008 my husband was driving to work when the airbags in our 2005 subaru outback deployed without provocation. Our car was immediately taken to the authorized subaru dealership here in puerto rico where they have yet to discover what caused this to happen. We purchased our car in seattle but we live here because my husband is stationed here for the military. We have been attempting to get subaru of america's assistance in determining what caused this deployment but they have not been very helpful. Nothing has been repaired because we don't want anything done if they don't know what happened to the car. We are fearful to drive our car again and want subaru of america to be a little more active and interested in discovering what could have caused a serious safety malfunction in their vehicle. As far as we know the service manager here sent them an email informing them that after he had looked over the car, he sees no damage that could have caused it. This information we already knew, because we weren't involved in any sort of collision. So far this is the extent of their involvement in the situation.
