Description of the problem	My 2006 subaru legacy outback has a passenger side airbag that will not stay "on" when a person under 125 pounds is in the passenger seat. I weigh 115 pounds. The airbag light is in the "off" position about 65% of the time i am sitting in the passenger seat. It happens every time i am in the car and has since i bought it in 2005. Subaru has tested the sensor calibration many times. I have gone for a drive to demonstrate the problem to head mechanic at my dealership and he was very appalled! Nothing has ever been done to try to correct the problem as subaru says this would require re-engineering the entire passenger airbag system. Subaru has told us that it is functioning as designed and is calibrated correctly. This has been an ongoing issue since the car was purchased new by me in 2005. I have reached the end of the road with subaru and they are aware of this issue but can offer no solution to fix it. My research has shown many other nhtsa complaints open on this same issue relating to all makes and models of subaru cars and their passenger side airbags. Please do something to protect the public and require subaru to find a solution to this problem.
