| Description of the problem | My passenger side tanaka airbag was replaced in april. Within six months of this recall, my passenger side airbag indicator's buzzer and light (error code 26) continue to indicate a passenger in the seat without a passenger present. I feel this is a safety issue because i have been told by my subaru mechanic that the "passenger airbag may or may not deploy". I have found various blogs and forums indicating that i am one of hundreds to thousands that have this issue. I feel as though this safety issue should not be fixed at the financial burden of the consumer. |
