Description of the problem	In 2008 the airbags on our car deployed spontaneously while driving down the interstate. Before the airbags deployed the seatbelt lights in our car began dinging and flashing as if someone were in the passenger seat, which was empty, and then they deployed on my husband. After 3 or so months subaru had the airbag components removed from the car and submitted to the manufacturer. Their investigation was inconclusive to what happened and they replaced the components with new ones assuming they had fixed the problem. July 11 i was backing out of my driveway and the lights began flashing again as if someone were in the passenger seat, which again was empty, and i pulled up and got out of the car immediately as i am 7 months pregnant and feared they might explode again and we were about to take a 6 hour drive. When we removed the keys the lights on the car remained on. Subaru now has the car and is investigating the problem. This car is a timebomb and i can't imagine putting it back on the road. These are the exact symptoms we had before the airbags exploded last time it just happens we were backing out of the driveway and not going 55 down the highway.
