Description of the problem	Traveling from my home to denver, co i noticed the 'air bag warning light' come on. This has occurred on several occasions. I called the auto nation subaru dealer to try and get an appointment. The service rep said they were full for the day. He asked me what the issue was and i told him about the 'air bag warning light' coming on. Moreover, he said that the air bag would not function with the warning icon on. He then asked me if i may have placed my cell phone in the passenger seat? I told him that i had indeed placed my cell phone in the passenger seat. The service rep added further that my cell phone may be interfering with the electronics of the air bag warning system. This sounded very odd to me. This phenomena is very disconcerting as it could readily result in serious injury if the air bag should fail to deploy in a head on collision. I also spoke to a service tech at another subaru outlet who told me that he had heard of this odd cell phone/air bag situation. As this air bag phenomena that is occurring in my vehicle is not an isolated situation, i feel that this issue should be addressed and repaired immediately.
